Common questions
Can I try before I buy?
Yes. Your account starts with 5 days of full access to every workspace. After the trial, you keep Free Forever access — browse Signals and cached insights, and buy tokens anytime to use Atelier tools on demand. Live research and ongoing Sensei chat are included in paid plans.
What are Atelier tokens?
Atelier tokens are credits used by tools like The Forge, Viral Blueprint, and Pre-Publish reviews. Creator includes 100/month, Master includes 500/month, and you can buy extra packs anytime.
Does Creator Lens make Sensei smarter?
Yes — in your account. Creator Lens makes Sensei sharper because it starts with your saved creative context: your niche, tone, audience, projects, rules, references, and things to avoid. It is account-level personalization, not a shared knowledge layer for other creators.
What's the difference between Creator and Master?
Creator is built for the daily solo workflow: Sensei chat, live research, outlier discovery, Blueprint, Forge, and 100 monthly Atelier tokens. Master adds more Sensei capacity, 500 monthly Atelier tokens, Creator Lens for account-only Sensei personalization, and direct roadmap feedback. Master is where Sensei stops feeling generic and starts carrying the creative context that matters to your work.
How does launch pricing work?
Launch pricing applies to your first billing period — one month if you go monthly, twelve months if you go yearly. After that, the plan renews at the standard rate (shown struck-through above the launch price).
What happens when the beta ends?
Your launch price applies to your first billing period. After that, your plan renews at the standard rate shown on this page. We'll always show renewal pricing clearly before checkout.
Can I switch plans or billing later?
Absolutely. Upgrade, downgrade, or switch between monthly and yearly anytime. Changes apply at the start of your next billing cycle.
Why does the free book for Master come after August 10, 2026?
The Algorithm Is a Mirror is enrolled in Amazon KDP Select, which means the Kindle edition must remain exclusive to Amazon for the first 90 days after publication. That window closes on August 10, 2026. After that date, every active Master member receives a free digital copy as part of their subscription. Until then, the book is available now to read free on Kindle Unlimited or buy on Amazon for everyone.
