Tensio
What Tensio costs and where the stake goes.
We pass on 80% of every forfeited stake, so Tensio earns only a small share when a goal is missed. All costs that can arise for you with Tensio are listed here in full.
Free
Everything you need for a serious start.
- Up to five active goals. Archived ones don’t count.
- All goals from movement, endurance, sleep, body and focus.
- Donation and anti-charity, all 63 organisations and clubs.
- Three pause jokers a month, saveable up to nine. Additional jokers can be bought or obtained through “Refer & earn”.
- Friends, leaderboard, stats and recap.
- Two shared goals you start yourself and one challenge of your own with up to ten people. Joining is unlimited.
- Reminders, automatic evening verification and the home-screen widget.
Plus
For everyone who wants to pursue more than five goals at once.
- Unlimited active goals instead of five.
- Your own honour-based goals, including ones Tensio cannot verify.
- The code category with 16 GitHub goals.
- Larger groups and more projects at once: any number of shared goals and challenges of your own, and up to 500 participants per challenge instead of ten.
- Of every monthly payment, €1.96 goes to your organisation, exactly as much as Tensio keeps.
The subscription renews monthly and can be cancelled at any time, in the Play Store or the App Store.
The subscription applies to organising, not to taking part. How many shared goals and challenges you start yourself depends on the subscription. Joining is unlimited without one, and communication is and remains free for everyone. For challenges, only running and upcoming ones count, and expired ones are not included. Cancelling does not take away anything you already have. Existing groups and challenges remain, you simply cannot add new ones.
What a missed check-in costs
You set the amount yourself, individually for each goal.
| Mode | Minimum stake | Upper limit |
|---|---|---|
| Donation To an organisation you support |
€2.49 | none |
| Anti-charity To your rival |
€5.00 | none |
The higher minimum in anti-charity mode is deliberate, because the loss is meant to be clearly noticeable there. There are no free jokers in this mode.
How a forfeited stake is split
The 20% cover payment fees, server operations and forwarding to the organisation. Any remaining cent from the split goes to the organisation and not to us. The split is shown to you before every goal and recorded on every receipt.
Charging happens automatically, once a day around midday. The time is set at midday rather than at night so that overnight measurements such as sleep and steps can still arrive. Otherwise a day you actually completed would be charged as missed. A day can never be charged twice.
Saving a card is free of charge
- Nothing is charged when you save it. A charge only occurs if you actually miss a check-in.
- Card data lives with Stripe, never with us.
- Without a card no charge is possible, and your goal would have no financial consequence.
- Tensio Plus runs through Google Play or Apple billing, not through the card.
You receive a statement, but no tax certificate. Under “Donations” you can create a PDF for each year listing every amount collected, broken down by organisation. It is not tax-deductible, because only the organisation itself may issue a tax certificate, and your stake goes to Tensio first, not to them.
Get started for free
The free version includes five goals, every verification source and both modes. You only need Tensio Plus once that is no longer enough.
