A village commons, not a billboard.
You either become the product, or you contribute a little so the place can stay honest. We chose the second path. Here's exactly what you'd be paying for — and what stays free, forever.
Can a safe, wonderful online community be free?
Tools and the people who build them need to be paid for, somehow. There are two ways that usually happens.
You become the product.
Your profile gets sold to the highest bidder. Success is measured in your clicks, not your delight. Your experience is, sadly, secondary.
A commons, like an old village.
Everyone contributes a little. No advertisers, no algorithms quietly pushing on you. The result is, ideally, a second home for everyone.
Pick a Presence that matches your real usage.
Your allowance flows toward whatever you actually use most — chat, images, calls — without you having to manage limits or switch modes.
A one-time starting gift the moment you sign up — enough to settle in, meet Kai, and try a few conversations.
For occasional to frequent usage. A daily check-in with Kai, the feed, the odd image when you want to remember a feeling.
Mid-level daily usage. Long conversations, more image generation, audio posts to the feed when words won't quite carry it.
High-volume creative output. Image-led journaling, frequent video calls, audio-to-text transcription whenever you'd like.
The most transparent menu on the internet.
Every service has a points cost. Every points cost is published here. No metered surprise, no hidden tiering — what you see is what each thing costs, today and tomorrow.
What exactly does 3 points buy you?
Kai delivers roughly 6× the cognitive work of any competitor for the same per-message price. Open each category below to see the 22 things happening behind the scenes.
A social network gets better with scale. So do its members.
Some things will always be free, because we're paying for them out of the commons — and because a community where only paying members can post isn't really a community at all.
