Stardust Pricing: $7.99/mo for Policy-Based Privacy

Stardust markets itself as private but stores data on servers. We cover pricing, what privacy-focused means architecturally, and how Floriva compares.

Stardust costs $7.99/mo or $69.99/yr and markets privacy as a brand value. But your data is still stored on Stardust's servers, privacy here is a policy commitment, not an architecture choice. Floriva is a paid app with no free tier and stores nothing server-side.

Stardust's Privacy Positioning

Stardust launched after Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization raised public concern about period tracker privacy. The app markets itself as privacy-conscious, and it has attracted users looking for a Flo alternative on those grounds.

The marketing is not dishonest. Stardust states it does not sell data, and there is no evidence otherwise. But there is a distinction worth understanding before paying $7.99/mo for it.

Policy Privacy vs Architectural Privacy

Stardust's privacy is policy-based. The company commits to not misusing your data. This is the same commitment every period tracker makes, including Flo before the FTC found otherwise in 2021.

Policy-based privacy depends on three things:

• The company maintaining its current commitment

• No breach exposing server-side data

• No court order compelling data production

Stardust requires an account and stores data on its servers. Policy language cannot change these facts. A subpoena to Stardust's servers would produce your data regardless of what the privacy policy says.

Architectural privacy works differently. If data is stored on your device and never sent to a server, there is no readable central record to subpoena.

Policy Privacy vs Paying for Architecture

Stardust Premium costs $69.99/yr for policy-based privacy on Stardust's servers. Floriva is a paid app with no free tier that keeps data on-device instead.

If the astrology features are the draw, Stardust is the only option. If the draw is privacy, the architecture matters more than the brand positioning.
