Choose a plan
- Original Minds: USD 1 per month + VAT. Tokens available in packs.
- Pro: USD 29 per month + VAT. 1,500 Studio tokens every month.
- Ultra: USD 99 per month + VAT. 5,000 Studio tokens every month.
Paid tiers are activated by the team until checkout opens. Requests do not start a subscription or charge you. Pro and Ultra receive their Studio tokens each calendar month from the day the tier is activated; an upgrade during the month adds the difference right away. Original Minds has no automatic monthly tokens: it uses token packs, and until payments open tokens are granted to founding members. Read current pricing before requesting a plan.

A price-list entry does not mean every expanded experience has launched.
Balance and terms
Pro members receive 1,500 Studio tokens and Ultra members 5,000 each calendar month, from the day the team activates the tier. An upgrade during the month adds the difference right away; a downgrade takes no tokens back and the lower allowance applies from the next month. Original Minds has no automatic monthly tokens: it uses packs, and until payments open tokens are granted to founding members. Paid checkout is not open yet. The current offer says tokens keep while membership is active; cancellation and retention terms remain under review. Open membership and tokens or the ledger for account details. Price never depends on your Moat Index and buying tokens cannot buy a stronger reading.
