How founding works

Become a founding client in three steps

1

Prepay 50% today

Pick Pro or Team and pay a refundable 50% deposit through Stripe. That reserves your seat and your founding price.

2

Lock 50% off — for life

You keep a permanent 50% discount on every feature we release before 2028 — elections, AI, voting, multi-platform and more.

3

Pay the rest at launch

The remaining balance is only charged when your features go live. If we don’t launch, your deposit is fully refunded.

Billing FAQ

Questions about pricing

Is the deposit really refundable?

Yes. The 50% you pay today is a refundable reservation. If we don’t launch the features you reserved, you get it back in full — no questions asked.

How do the two 50%s relate?

They stack toward the same goal but are separate: subscribing to the bot is free and gives you a 50% lifetime discount on pre-2028 features. Reserving as a founding client is a paid deposit that also secures priority access and your seat at the founding price.

What counts as “a feature released before 2028”?

Everything on our public roadmap shipping before January 2028 — Telegram elections, anonymous mode, AI participation, voting on rules, scheduling, the web app, and Slack/Discord/Mattermost support. Your 50% applies to all of it, permanently.

When am I charged the monthly/annual price?

Never before launch. Your founding deposit is the only charge now. Recurring billing starts when your reserved features go live, at your locked founding rate.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes — you can move between Pro, Team and Enterprise at any time. Your founding discount follows you.

Which currencies do you accept?

Checkout is in USD via Stripe and accepts all major cards worldwide. Your bank handles any conversion automatically.
