Pricing Update: $3/hour

announcementpricing

Hi friends,

I'm bad at math. When we first launched, I was charging around $3/hour of conversation. Since then, pricing actually dropped, but as a result became unsustainable in the long run. So, I'm setting it back.

The easy way to think about this price change is: "I'm paying around $1 more per hour of conversation."

Even at these prices, I'm not really making money yet. But breaking even would be nice.

What's changing

Our credit packs are moving from $2/hour to $3/hour:

  • $15 for 5,000 credits (~5 hours)
  • $30 for 10,000 credits (~10 hours)
  • $75 for 25,000 credits (~25 hours)

Credits work exactly the same way — 1,000 credits is still roughly 1 hour of conversation. The only change is the price per credit.

What stays the same

  • Free credits on signup — new users still get 500 free credits (~30 minutes) to try R1N, no credit card required.
  • Pay-per-use — no subscriptions, no recurring charges. Buy credits when you want them.
  • Your existing credits — any credits you already own are unaffected. Use them as you always have.

Looking ahead

Sorry it's so expensive. I'm hoping that the underlying technology becomes cheaper over time.

Thanks for being here.
