Adventure Codex is free to use for the part most players touch every session: your character sheet. HP and temp HP, death saves with the full 5e rules, spell slots and consumables with short-rest and long-rest resets, and automatic currency change-making across cp, sp, gp, and pp all work at no cost. You can track multiple characters on one device, and none of it shows ads.
What the subscription adds
The paid tier is aimed at the shared, at-the-table experience rather than the solo one. It unlocks two things:
- Shared DM maps, so a Dungeon Master can upload maps that everyone at the Table can open.
- Group loot, a shared pool of items and currency for the whole party, with an audit log of who moved what.
The subscription is $19.99 per year with a 7-day free trial.
One subscriber covers the party
You do not need every player to pay. When a single member of a Table subscribes, the shared maps and group loot turn on for everyone in that party for as long as the subscription is active. Often the DM or one organizer subscribes and the rest of the group benefits.
You can cancel anytime. The shared features remain through the end of your paid period, and the free character tracker continues to work regardless.
Frequently asked questions
Is Adventure Codex free?
Yes. The full character tracker (HP, temp HP, death saves, spell slots, consumables, currency), multiple characters per device, and cross-device sync are all free forever, with no ads.
What costs money?
Two shared features require a subscription: DM map uploads that the whole party can view, and a group loot pool shared across your Table. Everything you need to run a single character stays free.
How much is the subscription?
It is $19.99 per year and includes a 7-day free trial, billed annually.
Does everyone in the party need to pay?
No. When any one player at a Table subscribes, the entire party gets access to the shared maps and group loot while that subscription is active. One subscriber covers everyone.
Can I cancel?
Yes, you can cancel anytime. The shared features stay available through the end of your billing period, and the free character tracker keeps working after that.
