That means three things. It's free right now. It's open to a small number of curators, not everyone. And you'd be among the first to run a live room through it — which is worth something to me, and costs you something, so the rest of this page is about that trade.
The suite itself is finished. What it hasn't had is enough real events run through it, and there's no way to get that except by running real events. So this page says what free covers, what it will cost when the pilot ends, and what I'm asking for in the meantime — before you rely on it, not after.
No card. No trial clock counting down.
Per event, set by how long you screen. Not a subscription.
Set your event date and choose how long you want to screen for. The window closes the day before your event — so the night before the door, your applicants are a finished guest list — and opens that many days earlier.
One price, however many people apply. Thirty applicants or three hundred, the window costs the same. There is no per-applicant fee, no overage, and no moment where WSPR asks you for more money with a guest standing in front of you.
If the night has to move, you can buy up to two more weeks at the same $10 a week the ladder above charges — because that is what you are buying: more screening. Screening opens on the date it was always going to, so postponing stretches the run rather than sliding it, and your applicants come with you. Nobody answers twice.
Two weeks is the ceiling, and it is not a billing decision. Everyone who screened agreed to a specific night. Past two weeks that is a different night, so the applicant data is deleted on the schedule they were shown and people screen again for the new one.
Pilot curators keep these prices. Whatever the ladder becomes later, the curators who ran the first rooms stay on the launch numbers for as long as they keep hosting.
A screening tool that has never met fifty real applicants is a guess. The curators who run the first rooms are the ones who turn it into something shaped by how the work actually goes.
No. It is the same product, feature for feature. There is no paid tier sitting behind a wall — there is no paid tier yet at all.
No, and it couldn't be. The deletion schedule isn't a setting on your account, it's how the system is built: the key that can read an event's data is destroyed on a timer. Paying wouldn't change it and not paying doesn't weaken it.
Because right now I need events more than I need the money. A screening tool that has never met fifty real applicants is a guess. Charging you to help me find that out would be backwards.
Two things. The events you ran during the pilot stay free permanently — nothing is ever billed backwards. And you keep the launch prices above for as long as you keep hosting, whatever they become for everyone else. You will hear it from me directly, not from a billing screen.
Move it up to two weeks later and nothing is lost — your screenings follow the event and cost you nothing. Beyond two weeks, the applicant records are deleted and those people would need to screen again. That is deliberate: someone answered because they could make a particular night, and they never agreed to have their answers held for a different one.
Support is one person. If something breaks at eleven on a Saturday night, I may be asleep. The product is built and tested, but you would be among the first to run a live room through it, and being first is a real cost. That is what the free part is paying for.
