# Pricing Strategy v3

## Tiers
- **Free** — unlimited docs, 3 bundles, basic hub
- **Pro $9/mo** — 20 bundles, AI bundle generation 10/mo, hub URL custom
- **Build $19/mo** — unlimited bundles + AI, MCP write, Bundle versioning
- **Team $19/seat** — shared hubs, audit log, SSO
- **Scale $499+** — bundle marketplace, dedicated MCP

## Why Pro at $9
Strong hook: AI bundle generation. Cheap enough to not deliberate,
expensive enough that we capture the "I use this every week" segment
without freemium guilt.

## Why Build at $19
Power users who want to plug mdfy into agents (MCP write). Margin
holds even with unlimited AI generation thanks to embedding caching.

## Avoid
- Per-seat for individuals (Notion's mistake)
- Usage caps that kick in mid-flow
- Surprise overage bills

## Concepts in this document
- **mdfy** _(entity)_
  Alternative approach emphasizing author-owned memory and cross-platform sharing via URLs.
- **Mem0** _(entity)_
  AI memory platform using flat vector-based storage with top-K retrieval for memory recall per turn.
- **Letta** _(entity)_
  AI memory system inheriting MemGPT's hierarchical context-window architecture with core and archival memory tiers.
- **Knowledge management** _(tag)_
  Domain focus for organizing and accessing personal information in the context of AI workflows.
- **Claude** _(entity)_
  Mentioned as alternative AI platform that cannot access ChatGPT memories.
- **ChatGPT** _(entity)_
  Example AI system that can consume mdfy hubs via URL paste.
- **URL Architecture** _(concept)_
  Unified primitive design across document, bundle, and hub scopes that enables direct AI integration.
- **User-authored memory** _(concept)_
  The proposed alternative model where users control memory content rather than relying on extraction models.
- **AI bundle generation** _(concept)_
  Core Pro tier differentiator that justifies the $9 price point as primary monetization hook.
- **Build in Public** _(concept)_
  Core transparency-driven strategy for sharing development progress and decisions with an audience to build trust and community.
- **AI Tools** _(concept)_
  Built-in AI capabilities including Polish, Summary, TL;DR, Translate, and Chat for content enhancement and processing.
- **AI pair programming** _(concept)_
  The core practice of working alongside AI for code generation and decision-making, with specific patterns of what works and what doesn't.
