You can subscribe to Spark on a monthly recurring basis or purchase an annual subscription.

When you purchase a monthly subscription, it will automatically renew every month on the same date as the initial purchase. Your credit card on file will be charged.

If we are unable to debit your credit card on the renewal date, your subscription will be marked as "Past Due." As a result, you will lose access to Spark until the payment issue is resolved. An email notification will be sent to inform you of the unsuccessful billing.

Common causes of auto-renewal failures include insufficient funds, cancellation of the card on file, or a temporary hold placed on your card by your bank.

To promptly regain access to Spark, you can add an additional credit card to your account We will attempt to charge this new card immediately.

In the case of insufficient funds, you can force a retry by resubmitting the same card after topping up your credit card. This will trigger an immediate charge attempt, and if successful, access to Spark will be restored.

If the payment failure persists, we will attempt billing your card 24 hours and 3 days after the initial failure. If we are still unable to debit your credit card, your subscription will be canceled.

To prevent any interruptions in accessing Spark, please ensure that your credit card information is accurate and up to date.

Purchasing an annual subscription provides you a one-month discount on the Spark Base Fee.

The annual subscription does not auto-renew. At the end of the annual subscription period, your access to Spark will stop. You can then choose to resubscribe to either a monthly or new annual subscription to continue using Spark.

Both Private and Professional subscriptions provide the exact same Spark service. The difference lies in the subscription cost which primarily relates to the exchange licensing fees we need to pay the Stock Exchanges for each user type.

Please enable the Automatically Send Crash Reports preference. We will receive a detailed report of exactly what caused the crash and then contact you to help.

Generally, crashes on Windows are caused by faulty or out-of-date graphics drivers, or buggy software that came preinstalled with your graphics drivers.

It is important to keep both Windows and your graphics drivers up to date together, and to disable nonessential software that may be interfering with Spark.

When running on battery, Microsoft's Adaptive Brightness and Contrast automatically changes the contrast of your laptop's screen depending on whether the content is mostly light or mostly dark.

This can cause an application's darker areas to become progressively lighter while the lighter text becomes progressively darker until it is difficult to read.

We suggest that you turn the feature off.

On Windows 11, the setting is Display Settings, Brightness, Help improve battery by optimizing the content shown and brightness.

Turning this feature off on other versions of Windows depends on the version of Windows and the type of laptop. Here is a google search to help.
