Subscription update (coming soon)
This page explains the subscription rollout, the pricing model, and how donation-to-time credit works. For the official announcement archive, see sitewide communications.
Target date
Tentative launch: Mar 2, 2026
Free trial
All registered users will receive a 5 trading-day trial period at launch.
Why the change?
I’m investing in reliability, data quality, performance, and new features. Those improvements come with ongoing infrastructure and data costs, and the subscription model helps keep the platform moving forward.
Important notes
- Pre-launch purchases and donations will be converted into subscription time at 2× credit.
- Time does not start burning until you open the site after your free trial has expired.
Final pricing model (official)
Anchor: 1 Month = $55.00 = 22 trading days → $2.50/day
“Trading day” means market trading days (weekends/holidays don’t burn time).
| Plan | Trading days | Price | Cost / day | % vs monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 1 | $8.00 | $8.00 | 320% |
| 1 Week | 5 | $30.00 | $6.00 | 240% |
| 1 Month | 22 | $55.00 | $2.50 | 100% (anchor) |
| 3 Months | 66 | $150.00 | $2.27 | 91% |
| 12 Months | 264 | $480.00 | $1.82 | 73% |
Donation → time credit (2× before launch)
Donations are always converted using the monthly daily rate (best value): $2.50 per trading day. Donations made before launch receive 2× time credit.
This includes previous donations made before go-live.
Formula
credited_days = donation_amount / 2.50
Before launch (2×): credited_days = (donation_amount / 2.50) × 2
Examples (standard conversion)
- $25 → 10 trading days
- $50 → 20 trading days
- $100 → 40 trading days
- $200 → 80 trading days
Before launch: double those days (2× credit).
Access model: time wallet
Each user has access_days_remaining (integer). Trial, purchase, and donation add days. A daily job burns days on trading days.
Time starts burning on your first visit after the trial expires.
