Only for a year or so. Then you'll need premium+ to skip ads. The free tier is also downgraded to 1 flush per day.

Worse: the company decides to cancel the service and no longer support these toilets. You have to purchase a new toilet to continue service.

But the existing mounting hardware is proprietary, so in addition to a new toilet, you also need to replace half your plumbing.

At first I thought that this would be a great opportunity to pit the water companies who own water meters against the smart-toilet companies who accidentally reduce water usage, eating into water company profits, but then I realised that that battle would inevitably result in them working together to make smart toilets that full flush every 30 minutes unless expressly told not to.
