Pricing
Coredence pricing: free with your own model or key
The mind lives on this machine and reading it is never charged. The one thing that costs money is consolidation — the model call that turns what you wrote into memories. Run it on your own key and you pay us nothing. Paid plans cannot be bought yet: the store is waiting for approval from Lemon Squeezy.
Three ways to use it free
Download the app, then pick Claude Code, your own key or a local model during setup. On this path you pay Coredence nothing, and no feature is held back.
Your Claude Code subscription
Runs on the subscription you already pay for: no per-token charge, it comes out of your own quota.
Your own API key
The key is stored on this machine and goes only to your provider; calls are made from your account. No ceiling, at cost.
A model on your machine
With Ollama the mind is consolidated without touching the network at all. No account, no key, no charge — it holds up to roughly two hundred memories.
Do I need a plan if I pay for ChatGPT?
A ChatGPT subscription cannot be used for consolidation: the engine needs an API key or a model it can run, and a subscription provides neither. The plan is not on sale at the moment either. Today the shortest free route is to choose the model on your own machine during setup; an OpenAI API key also works, but that is a separate, pay-per-use account. The download page has the details.
Plans, not on sale yet
For people who do not want to open a provider account, mint a key and watch a bill. We hold the key; you enter a licence. The mind still lives on your machine — the only thing that changes is whose account the consolidation request goes through.

The prices are settled and the engine's plan path works. What is missing is the purchase: the store is waiting for approval from Lemon Squeezy, so no licence can be bought yet. Today you consolidate with Claude Code, your own key, or a model on your own machine. When it opens, entering the licence in the setup screen is all it takes.
The event counts are measured, not guessed: on a mind of three hundred memories, with real event sizes, from the engine's own cost model. They fall as the mind grows — every consolidation request also carries all of the memories. The app's Waiting to be consolidated line always shows where the allowance is going. The notes under each plan are rough guides, not measurements.
The same on every plan
A plan only changes the consolidation allowance. The product itself is not split: paying gets you more allowance, not more features.
The mind is on this machine
The database is on your disk, under your user. We hold no copy; leave the plan and the mind stays with you.
Unlimited reading
There is no limit on how often your assistants read the mind. Writing is what costs, not reading.
Every source
Claude Code sessions, git history, notes, chat exports — all of them are open on every plan.
Export
Take your mind out as JSON or Markdown whenever you want. Nothing is locked in.
14-day withdrawal
The consolidation allowance you used is deducted and the rest is refunded. Consolidate nothing and all of it comes back. How much you used is counted by the server, not estimated.
What an event is, in everyday terms
An event is one thing that was read: a commit message, a turn in a conversation, a note. The engine groups them into windows, sends them to the model, and memories come back. The docs explain how.
You do not need a plan to start
Download it, set it up, let your first mind form. A plan is only needed when you would rather not bring your own key, and nothing today asks you for one.
