Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Origin8 pricing

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. When upgrading, you'll get immediate access to new features. When downgrading, changes take effect at your next billing cycle.

What counts as an 'active project'?

An active project is any business idea you're currently validating or planning. You can archive projects when complete to free up slots, and archived projects remain accessible for reference.

Is there a free tier?

No free tier, but there's a $1 / 7-day trial of Explorer — the full team of six, persistent Decisions Log, real provenance, and 30 messages to stress-test your idea. After 7 days your card is charged $49/mo unless you cancel first from your billing settings. Start it from the trial link on the Explorer card above.

What's the $1 trial?

$1 buys you 7 days with the whole team — all six specialists, the full Decisions Log, and 30 messages, which is enough to stress-test an idea properly. We charge $1 up front so we have a card on file (and because tire-kickers don't make it past the $1 gate). On day 8 we bill $49/mo for Explorer, which has no message cap; cancel any time from your billing settings before then to stop the charge. No questions, no email loops.

How much does Origin8 actually cost to run vs. paying per token?

We're more cost-predictable than per-token agent stacks. Paid plans are a flat monthly fee with no message meter — no $200-burned-in-a-weekend surprises. The only cap anywhere is the $1 trial's 30 messages, and we tell you that before you start. Origin8 uses a small set of efficient models with persistent context, so the unit cost stays stable as your project grows.

What kind of support do you offer?

All plans include email support. Builder and Scale plans include priority support with faster response times. Scale plans also include a dedicated success manager.

What about teams?

Scale ships with team seats and a custom weekly briefing. If you need it before it's self-serve, email hello@origin8.app and we'll sort you out.
