Founding pricing, in the open
Kriops membership starts at $12/mo — $9/mo billed yearly, or $99 for lifetime — and the rate steps up every 100 paid members. Here is the whole algorithm, published before launch.
Most pricing pages are the output of a process you never get to see. Ours is the process. Kriops launches with founding pricing, and the rule that governs it is short enough to publish in full — so we are publishing it in full, before anyone has paid us anything.
The algorithm
- Founding rates: $12/month, $9/month billed yearly, or $99 once for lifetime access.
- Every 100 paid members, the rate steps up for new signups.
- Your rate locks at signup. Whatever you join at is what you pay for as long as you stay — the step-ups only ever apply to people who arrive after you.
That is the entire mechanism. No hidden tiers, no 'contact sales', no re-pricing of existing members. The price you see when you sign up is a function of exactly one variable — how many people got there before you — and it is a number we can't fake without lying about our own member count.
Why price this way
Early members carry the most risk. They are joining a catalog that is still growing, run by a studio that is still proving itself. It would be strange to charge them the most for that, yet flat pricing does exactly that — it makes the people who showed up early subsidise the certainty enjoyed by everyone who waited. Step-up pricing inverts it: the earlier you commit, the less you pay, permanently.
It also keeps us honest about urgency. Every marketplace wants you to feel that now is the moment to buy, and most manufacture that feeling with countdown timers and 'offer ends soon' banners that quietly reset. We don't run those. The step-up rule creates real, checkable urgency — the price genuinely does rise as membership grows — without a single fake clock. If the price hasn't moved, membership hasn't grown. You can hold us to that.
What a membership is
One membership is access to the Kriops catalog — designs, premium prompts, templates, UI sections, 3D elements, Claude Code skills, agents and MCP servers — plus MCP access, so your agent can search, evaluate and pull assets without leaving your editor. The buying guide covers what's free, what costs credits, and how the denominations work.
Pricing is one of the few pages on a site where a company tells you exactly how it thinks about fairness, whether it means to or not. We would rather say it out loud. The rule is published, the rate locks at signup, and the first hundred members will always have gotten the best deal we ever offered — because they earned it by being first.
