Questions people actually ask

Is the beta really free?

Yes. Sign in with Google, no card, nothing to cancel. Nothing is charged and no payment details are collected during beta.

What happens when beta ends?

Billing starts at whichever rate you joined at — $10 or $20 — and you are told well before anything is charged. If you joined during beta, that rate does not go up.

What do you do with my conversations?

Nothing. They are not sold and not used as training data. You can export the whole record or delete your account and everything in it, from the account menu.

Can I switch plans later?

Any time. Reach out and we will move you — the locked beta rate follows you to the tier you move to.

Why is a pre-LLC project charging money?

It is not, yet. The beta is free precisely because the structure is still forming. The rates above exist so early users know what they are agreeing to before it does.
