Pay once. Own it. Update if you want to.
No subscription. No seats. No "we'll raise the price next year." A 12-month update window is included; after that, the app keeps working forever, and you can renew updates for $34/yr if you want them.
What that update window actually buys you
2 releases so far. The latest, 1.1.0, shipped August 2026 with 33 changes — the pre-meeting dossier, an Executive Overview dashboard, calendar intelligence, and a rebuilt recorder. Every release is listed publicly, dated, so you can judge the pace for yourself rather than taking our word for it.
