Common questions

Is Eilik worth it at the current price?

At $139.99 it is $0 above its 90-day low of $139.99. The product is fine; today's price is not the best one available this quarter.

What happens if the company shuts down?

Core play does not depend on a server, so the device keeps working. App-based extras would stop.

Does it need an account?

No account is required for normal use, which is unusual and worth knowing.
