Pricing
A build fee and a retainer.
You pay once to have the skill built and monthly to have it kept current. There is no revenue share, no marketplace cut, and no per-seat fee flowing back to us from your audience. What they pay, they pay you.
Build
Flagship Skill
$6,500
$4,500 for the Founding Ten
One skill, built from your existing work. Instruction file, reference set, worked examples, guardrails, three test prompts, versioning, and a release page your audience can install from.
Skill Library
$18,000
$12,500 for the Founding Ten
Three to five skills that share a reference layer and a voice, built together so they behave like one system rather than five files that happen to have the same author.
Docs to skills, for companies
From $15,000
Internal documentation, SOPs, and playbooks turned into skills your team installs. Scope drives the number, typically landing between fifteen and forty thousand for the build, with ongoing maintenance from six to fifteen thousand a year.
Scoped after a paid discovery week for anything at the upper end.
Maintain
Single skill
$600 a month
Scheduled re-validation, a new version whenever something underneath moves or your method does, written release notes, and distribution to your subscribers through the Bindery.
Prepay for the year and you pay for ten months.
Library
$1,250 a month
The same coverage across the whole library, kept in step so a change in one skill does not quietly contradict another.
Prepay for the year and you pay for ten months.
Maintenance is not optional theatre. It is the reason the thing keeps working. If you stop, the last release you received keeps working exactly as it did, and updates and portal access stop. Nothing is clawed back.
The other side of the rail
What your audience pays you.
Your readers, clients, or students subscribe to the Maintained plan for your skill, and that money is yours. We help you set the number and we run the billing on your Stripe account, not ours.
For a consumer or prosumer audience, the plans that work sit between seventy-nine and one hundred ninety-nine dollars a year, and the first move is usually to bundle the skill into something the audience already buys from you rather than selling it cold. For skills a professional uses to do billable work, the range runs from two hundred forty-nine to four hundred ninety-nine per seat per year, which is where maintained professional references have been priced for a long time.
