Free to read. Metered to generate.

Cached and community reads are free and unlimited. You only pay for fresh on-demand generations (?fresh=1) — each one is a live Claude reading of the song. The ladder: guest → member (free) → key. Climb only when you feel the ceiling.

Let’s talk

Prices are in USD. Subscriptions are billed monthly via Stripe; cancel anytime. A fresh read is a single on-demand generation — cached reads (the default) and community takes don’t count against your quota. Questions? Get in touch.

No subscription? Use credits.pay with reputation or crypto

One credit = one fresh read past your daily quota. Earn them by building signal (write takes readers see too), or buy a pack with BTC, ETH, or TRX. Credits never expire daily and require no subscription.
