To simplify pricing and based on your feedback, we're consolidating our subscriptions down to a single Pro tier. Effective July 1, 2026:

What's changing

Basic tier retires. The Basic plan will no longer be offered as of July 1.
All Basic-tier models move to Pro. Models that used to require Basic are now included in Pro — same access, no gaps.
Current Basic subscribers get free Pro through the end of their existing billing period. No action needed — the upgrade is applied automatically. When your current period ends, you can choose whether to continue with Pro.
Pro price drops $5: monthly goes from $20 to $15/mo, annual goes from $200 to $150/yr (still the same ~17% savings vs monthly).

Why we're doing this

A two-tier setup added decision friction without delivering proportional value: most users on Basic eventually upgraded to Pro for the model access anyway, and the “am I missing something on the next tier?” question kept coming up in support tickets.

One clear plan, lower price, every model included — that's the shape that matches how you actually use the site.

What stays the same

All your existing model histories, predictions, achievements, balance, and leaderboard standing.
Free tier remains: browse, view predictions, see leaderboards, read blog — without an account or a paid plan.
Pari-mutuel prediction pools remain Pro-only (5% commission, winners split losers' pool — same mechanic).

Timeline

Now → June 30: Basic and Pro both available at current prices.
July 1: Basic is removed from signup. Existing Basic subscribers are upgraded to Pro for free until their billing period ends. New Pro signups at $15/mo or $150/yr.
After your Basic period ends: Auto-renew (if enabled) will renew you to Pro at $15/mo. You can change or cancel anytime from your subscription page.
