## What is Early Access?

Early Access means that you are subscribing to YuleLog for Web before its official release.

* Not all features are enabled yet. Early Access allows customers to experience a product before its official release.
* It is also an opportunity to see what needs work, and to gather other information about the app's roadmap.
* Your feedback is greatly valued, and I hope for this to be an interactive experience where you can share feedback that I can implement.

## **How much does YuleLog for Web cost?**

In order to use YuleLog for Web, you will need to purchase an annual subscription, which starts at **$60 / year** (which amounts to $5 / month).

YuleLog for Web is more expensive than the legacy version of YuleLog because web-enabled applications are generally more expensive to develop and maintain. I think the new features of syncing your collection across your Web browser and iOS make it worth it.

**If you purchased the legacy version of YuleLog 2022 this year, I will refund you for your first year of YuleLog for Web.**

## **How do I get my existing collection data onto YuleLog for Web?**

[Save your backup file](https://help.yulelog.com/hallmark/save-import-backup-file) (backup.fmp12) in your most recent version of YuleLog and send them to me via email or [Google Drive](https://www.google.com/drive/). Send me an email if you're not sure how to get your backup files to me.

After I receive your backup files, I will migrate your collection to your YuleLog for Web Account, including your images and custom items.
