Premium clients are free during the beta period. Checkout buttons call the mock API and return a fake redirect while the site phase is invite beta.
Join the beta — freeBuy Premium once. Universal purchase with Family Sharing across all your platforms.
During the beta, nothing is charged — this is the ratified price schedule Beamfall intends to charge once paid general availability begins.
A qualifying licence is a cumulative paid lifetime purchase across every channel, net of refunds and chargebacks; once a stage's count is reached it never reverses.
Every lifetime purchase permanently keeps the rights and price stage it was bought at — a later price step applies only to new buyers.
Lifetime never includes hosted relay, Beamfall-operated backup/storage, paid third-party APIs, AI inference, bespoke support, or any other service with recurring Beamfall-side cost — those stay optional and separately priced.
The lifetime & continuity pledge. A lifetime purchase is a perpetual, user-held License Key you can import offline on any client — no phone-home, no revocation. And if Beamfall can no longer continue, every proprietary client is open-sourced. Your purchase outlives our prices, our servers, and us.

Family Sharing shares the entitlement only. Each member’s libraries, profiles, and viewing stay entirely on their own servers.
No. Beamfall is in an open beta, and everything Beamfall builds — the native clients, the Manager power tools, the Beamfall Account — is free during the beta. The prices above are the intended prices at general availability, and they apply only to the optional proprietary clients, never to the server.
Never. Beamfall Core and the self-hosted Web UI are free and open source under AGPL v3. You can run the whole thing without a Beamfall Account. The native client price never licenses the server.
One perpetual Premium entitlement as a user-held License Key. It’s a universal purchase with Family Sharing, it imports offline on any client, and it can’t be revoked. If the project ever can’t continue, the clients are open-sourced — your purchase outlives us.
Beamfall's privacy-review rule scopes account systems to purchases and signed-in devices. Library, playback, and viewing data are designed to stay out of the account ledger.
Yes, on a precommitted schedule, not at our discretion: Founding at $99.99, then Growth at $129.99, then Established at $149.99, each stage ending at the earlier of a fixed time after paid GA or a fixed number of qualifying licences sold. Every purchase is grandfathered at its price and rights forever — only later buyers see the next stage.
