VSCO Membership Not Showing After Purchase

Workaround available iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

Your membership is probably attached to another VSCO account or the restore didn't finish. Use Global Menu > Settings > Support > Restore VSCO Membership while signed into the right account, and make sure your VSCO email matches your Apple ID or Google account.

Most likely fix: Restore in the app.

Symptoms

You paid but VSCO shows the free Starter plan, 'Restore VSCO Membership' loads forever, Pro tools stay locked after restoring, or sign-up says 'You're currently subscribed to this'.

Why it happens

  • Membership is on a different VSCO account (e.g. one created earlier)
  • VSCO email doesn't match Apple ID / Google account email
  • Email or device not verified
  • You actually have Plus, not Pro

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Restore in the app

    1. Open VSCO and go to your profile

  3. 3. Find the account that owns the membership
