Pricing goes live once we know what it should be.

Filmmakers onboarding in 2026 get the Pro tier free while we are still small. When we set the number, we will announce it publicly and never surprise you with a bill. If you are running a festival campaign right now, request an invite and we will set you up at no cost.

Pricing questions

Honest answers.

Will the free tier stay free?

Yes. The free tier is not a trial and it does not expire. It is what you get forever if you only need a page and the basics.

What does Pro cost?

We have not set the price yet. It will be low enough that one missed festival fee is more expensive than a year of Pro. When we announce it, we will announce it publicly.

Do you take a cut of ticket sales or donations?

Not now, because we do not yet offer ticketing. When we do, the fee will be transparent and small.

Can I move from Pro back to Free?

Yes. Downgrading removes custom domain and the festival tools, but keeps your page and your email list intact.

Do I pay for the AI?

No. AI usage is included in your tier. It is capped at a reasonable number of generations per month to prevent abuse, but no legitimate filmmaker will hit the cap.

What if I only need the platform during a festival run?

You can downgrade to Free when your run ends. Your page and subscriber list stay intact. When the next film is ready, upgrade again.
