Pricing

v1 — Free

Everything that ships in v1 is free to use during the pre-release window. That includes the on-device evidence ledger, scoped-proof composition, advisor-pack export, the verifier read screen, and the minimal Cloudflare Workers relay that holds encrypted scoped-proof bytes for a verifier to fetch.

v1.1+ — Pro tier

A paid pro tier opens in v1.1+. Pricing and exact entitlements are not yet fixed; the shape of the pro surface is in docs/ARCHITECTURE.md on GitHub. Expected pro-tier features — none of them required to use Olocus:

• encrypted backup blobs (so a record survives a device reset);
• multi-device sync (the second device decrypts with a key derived from your seed);
• seed recovery via Shamir share-out to trusted contacts;
• witness-flow features that benefit from server-side scheduling.

The pro tier is the only part of the architecture that requires an Olocus-side binding between an identity and any key material — and the binding is minimised, named explicitly in the user's transparency view, and never sees the underlying record's plaintext.

What pricing will not look like

• No advertising. The product is paid-or-free, never ad-supported.
• No data sale. Olocus does not have the plaintext to sell.
• No charge for the verifier. Verifiers receive proofs at no cost — the pricing surface is for the proof composer, not the recipient.
• No metered proof issuance in v1.1+ — issuance stays free at whatever cadence the user needs. The pro tier is about durable services (backup, sync, recovery), not throttling the core loop.

Honest about what's coming. This page exists so the pricing surface is reachable from the front page nav. The numbers behind it are not yet fixed because v1.1+ has not shipped. When pricing is set, this page becomes a service-level commitment — until then it's a description of the shape, not a tier you can subscribe to.
