How it works
Three steps. Same three every week.
No signals, no alerts, no hype. Find a stock worth owning, size the trade before you place it, write down what happened.
01 · Find it
Stock Selector
Pick the kind of stock you want, say how much cash one contract may tie up, and every row reads in plain words — what you’d buy at, what it ties up, what you’d collect and the return over the stretch you picked.
✓An “easy to trade” tier on every row, so thin names are obvious
✓Every row opens the live chain, the business and the chart
✓A “why it passed” column, so the filter is never a black box

Max profit, max loss and breakeven in plain English — before you click buy. Four strategies, one contract handled as 100 shares for you.
Here’s your result
At $186, you make $235.
You were paid $235 up front. $186 is above your $180 strike, so the put expires worthless and you keep all of it.

Journal & Analytics
Premiums and stock P&L stay two totals, and every closed short put is replayed day by day — what you kept, what your take-profit rule would have kept, and whether the entry waited or chased.
AAPLyou agreed to buy at $180You held to expiry
You kept $235
the full amount. No shares bought.
Timing: fairsold without a clean pullback
Your takeaway
Waiting was right here. Buying it back never got cheap enough to hit your rule, so there was nothing to take. You waited all 38 days, kept $235 — the whole amount — and $18,000 was locked up throughout.
Never sold an option before? All three steps assume you already know what selling a put is — the Stay Home Trading guide covers that part first.
Pricing
One plan. No surprises.
Free for 14 days, no card. After that it is one price for all three tools — no seats, no add-ons, no usage tiers.
Premium
US$50/ month
Billed monthly. Cancel any time, keep the period you paid for.
The price you join at is the price you keep. More tools are coming, and people who join later may pay more for them. You won’t — your price is locked from the day you sign up.
For scale: one $0.55 put premium on a single contract covers about a month. The app is meant to pay for itself or go.

When the 14 days are up the trial simply ends — no card is on file, so you can’t be charged.
Billing by Stripe. Boring Pays is software, not a broker or an adviser — nothing here is financial advice, and every decision stays yours.
Do I need a credit card?
No. The trial starts on an email address alone, and you are never charged during it.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is a screener, a calculator and a journal. The tools show numbers; you make the call.
What if I cancel?
One click, from your billing page. You keep access to the end of the period and can still export.
If you add more features, will my price go up?
No. Your price is set on the day you join and stays there. People who join later may pay more; you keep what you signed up at.
How do I log in?
Passwordless. Enter your email and we send a one-tap sign-in link — no password to remember, ever.
New to options?
Boring Pays is a tool, not a course — it assumes you already know what selling a put is. If that’s new, start with the Stay Home Trading guide and come back once the basics click. The trial will still be here.
What markets does it cover?
US stocks and their options — built for the calm, income-focused “wheel”: cash-secured puts and covered calls.
Is my journal private?
Yes — it is tied to your account and no one else can see it. If your plan lapses you lose the live market data, but you can still sign in, read your journal and export it to CSV. No lock-in.
Found a bug, or want something added?
Use “Send feedback” in your account menu — pick Bug or Enhancement and it reaches us with your account email. We read every one. Boring Pays is a one-person team, though, so a reply — and a fix — can take a while.
