Pricing

Free plans are paid for with data.
Ours is not, so ours is not.

Confidential hardware is scarcer than commodity hardware, slower to schedule, and priced accordingly — an attested turn genuinely costs more to serve than an unattested one. And there is no second revenue line here: no advertising, no training corpus, no data partnerships. The subscription is the entire business model, which is exactly why it has to cover the whole cost.

Anti-coercion features exist for the worst day someone has. Putting one behind an upgrade prompt would mean the person being made to unlock their laptop is the person who did not pay enough — so all of them ship at every tier, and always will.


What your money does not buy

The absent features.

Ordinarily this list lives in a competitor’s privacy policy, in six-point type, under a heading nobody reads. Here it is at the same size as everything else.

  • A retention policy with an asterisk in it
  • A “we may share with trusted partners” clause
  • An account tied to your phone number
  • A model that quietly got better at being you
  • Advertising. Obviously — but it is worth saying out loud, given the year
  • A recovery link that also works for anyone holding a warrant

On the price

Yes, it is more than $20.

A twenty-dollar subscription buys inference subsidised by something. Sometimes the something is venture capital; sometimes it is you. This buys inference on hardware that costs more, and nothing else — which is why the number is the number.

On the allowance

Metered honestly.

An attested turn is one request served inside a verified enclave with a signed envelope returned. When capacity is contended you will see a queued note rather than a silent stall — the app tells you it is waiting instead of pretending it is thinking.

On getting in

Two doors.

Buy a plan, or take an invite from someone already inside. Invites are unlimited and registered nowhere — counting them would mean our relay learning who invited whom, and a social graph is precisely the artefact this product exists to not have.

Still deciding

Read what we can't prove first.

It is the shortest route to working out whether this is the product you want. We would rather lose the sale to a clear-eyed no than win it on a sentence we had to shade.
