A straightforward model
Writing modes are not gated behind the paywall. All seven modes — including Prayer and Discernment — are available to every user. Gating reflective contexts behind payment would undermine the purpose of the tool.
The paid plan exists because encrypted sync, multi-device backup, and search infrastructure cost money to operate. The subscription covers that cost.
There is one paid plan, and it includes everything. No additional tiers, no feature bundles, no upgrade ladders.
