§ OPERATOR PRICING

Four tiers.
One business model.

All tiers include the full Narrio OS — drafts, publishing, community, reputation, payments. The tier sets the scale: how many communities you can operate, how many editors you can hire, and the platform's share of revenue.

Pricing questions, briefly.

What happens at the end of the free trial?

Day 31 auto-converts to Launch ($49/mo). We email you on day 24 and day 28 — you can cancel from the backoffice in one click, your community stays online with full data export for 30 days afterward.

How is the platform share calculated?

Off subscriber revenue net of payment processing (Stripe ~2.9% + 30¢). Sponsorships and intelligence payments are taken at the same rate as your tier. We never touch tip jars or contributor payouts; those route directly.

Can I downgrade?

Yes, anytime, prorated. The only constraint: you must reduce active communities to your new tier's cap before downgrading. Excess communities can be paused (not deleted) and resumed later.

What about waivers?

Every operator gets emergency waivers — 4/year on Launch and up. During a waiver, Narrio brokers coverage from a contributor pool so your community keeps publishing. You keep your reputation streak; the covering contributor earns a share.

Do contributors pay anything?

Never. Contributors are free users earning a share of the communities they support. See the contributor program.

What's the contract length?

Monthly. Annual plans available with a 2-month discount on request.
