Pricing
Free where it is finished. Paid where it needs a backend.
The guides, the working tools, and the introductory labs are free and stay free. Pro covers the Academy, advanced labs, and the features that require accounts — which are not built yet, so Pro is not purchasable yet.

See engagement scopeQuestions
- Why can I not sign up yet?
- Because accounts are not built. Rather than collect payment details for a product that cannot yet deliver saved work or progress tracking, the paid plans are shown as planned pricing and the free material is available with no account at all.
- What does free actually include?
- Every published guide, every working workbench tool, the introductory labs, the full prompt library, and the newsletter. That is not a trial — it stays free.
- Will content move behind the paywall later?
- No. Anything published as free stays free. Pro adds the Academy, advanced labs, and the account features that need a backend — it does not take away what is already here.
- Do you sell one-off downloads?
- No. Small assets are either free acquisition resources or part of Pro. A catalogue of nine-dollar downloads is a distraction from building something worth subscribing to.
