Stardust Pricing Tiers

Hidden Costs You Won't See on the Pricing Page

• ⚠ Privacy is marketed as a brand value but is not an architectural property — data is stored on Stardust's servers
• ⚠ Account creation required with email
• ⚠ Premium costs $69.99/yr — nearly three times Floriva's $24.99/yr annual plan
• ⚠ Server-based storage means data is accessible via subpoena regardless of Stardust's stated privacy policy
• ⚠ No publicly documented third-party privacy audit

Stardust’s Privacy Positioning

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

The marketing is not dishonest — Stardust states it does not sell data, and we have 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:

• 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. These are architectural facts that policy language cannot change. 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 transmitted to a server, there is no server record to subpoena.

The Price Gap

Stardust Premium costs $69.99/yr. Floriva costs $24.99/yr. The $45 annual difference buys policy-based privacy on Stardust’s servers versus on-device architectural privacy with Floriva.

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.
