PRICING_AND_TIERS.md — alaivOS Canonical Pricing, Tiers & Feature Gates¶
Last updated: April 13, 2026 (Omega v2.7) Status: AUTHORITATIVE single source of truth. All other pricing/tier documents are historical. Supersedes: every prior pricing/tier file listed at the bottom.
1. PRICING (LOCKED)¶
1.1 Subscription Tiers (USD)¶
| Tier | Monthly | Annual (pay 10, get 12) | Annual/mo display | Tagline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Free | — | — | Your Starting Point |
| Spark | $3.99 | $39.90/yr | $3.33 | The Foundation |
| Core | $7.99 | $79.90/yr | $6.65 | The Sweet Spot |
| Pro | $14.99 | $149.90/yr | $12.49 | Power User |

Annual model: Pay 10, get 12. No other annual discount exists.
Core annual/mo display: $6.65 (truncated, not $6.66). Other tiers rounded per table above — do not change Spark's $3.33.
Read pricing from: lib/config/pricing.dart — never hardcode elsewhere.
1.2 AppTier Enum (code)¶
7 values: starter(0), proTrial(1), spark(2), core(3), pro(4), elite(5), eliteTrial(6).
FeatureGate remaps trials: proTrial → pro, eliteTrial → elite.
1.3 What Each Tier Promises¶
- Starter (Free): Essential OS — manual planner, all 14 modules, no AI, text-only (no voice). Data stays on phone forever. Zero-Data-Harvesting. Interactive map + voice nav + motorcycle time FREE.
- Spark ($3.99): Laiv starts thinking — on-device AI (Qwen 3.5 0.8B + 2B when RAM allows), 15 DDG lookups/day, Laiv Voice Standard, historic traffic patterns, family location sharing, Laiv Checkup every 6 months.
- Core ($7.99): Laiv connects the dots — on-device up to Qwen 3.5 4B, 30 DDG/day, cross-module Morning Pulse, live traffic estimates, smart departure push alerts, Checkup every 3 months.
- Pro ($14.99): Laiv works overnight — full local power + Night Shift, 50 DDG/day, voice commands, traffic coloring, navigate deep link, multi-stop optimization, Checkup every 2 months.
- Elite ($23.99): Laiv never sleeps — everything in Pro + adaptive scheduling, AI health insights, deep cross-module correlations, unlimited DDG, Ghost base included (50D/20I), 1 bank connection included, Checkup every month.
2. LAIV CHECKUP (v1.0, baked into tiers — NOT credit-gated)¶
Overnight 3-domain analysis (Wellbeing / Planning / Financial) via Ghost relay. Dual anonymization: device strip → Gemma 4 E4B → Anthropic Batch API. Cost ~$0.012/checkup.
2.1 Cadence by Tier¶
| Tier | Checkup cadence |
|---|---|
| Starter | None |
| Spark | Every 6 months |
| Core | Every 3 months |
| Pro | Every 2 months |
| Elite | Every 1 month |
2.2 Trial Checkups (FREE regardless of tier)¶
| Day | Checkup | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Day 0 (post-onboarding) | Baseline | Planning-only |
| Day 14 (mid-trial) | Mid-trial | All 3 domains |
| Day 28 (trial end) | Full | All 3 domains |
Between checkups: teaser hints surface pattern signals without full analysis. Capsule generation from aggregate patterns is v1.1+.
3. AI MODEL ARCHITECTURE (post V2.6/V2.7)¶
3.1 On-device = Qwen 3.5 only. Ghost = Gemma 4 E4B only.¶
| Tier label | CDN file | Model | Download | Loaded RAM | Min free RAM |

Gemma 4 E4B Q4_K_M | 8.95 GB | 10 GB | — (server) |
Filenames are tier labels, not model names (swappable via manifest.json). AMI dynamically load/unloads ONE model at a time, never two; app backgrounded = model unloaded. No always-resident model. Cloud Gemini is DEAD — AiProvider enum has 2 values only: local, ghost.

Contradictions resolved¶
- Banking add-on price: $2.99 bundled (historical) vs $1.49 (sprint4 addendum) vs $0.99 (primary canonical) → $0.99/mo per bank wins (primary + Elite includes 1).
- 9B on-device: old matrices list Ultra 9B as Pro/Elite on-device → REMOVED from on-device. 9B is Ghost-only (and even Ghost moved off 9B to Gemma 4 E4B).
- Cloud AI column in old matrix: listed Cloud Gemini standard/Pro → DELETED. AiProvider = {local, ghost}.
- RevenueCat entitlements: old file had
core/pro/premiumandghost_deferred/ghost_realtime→ replaced byspark/core/pro/elite+ credit-model Ghost products. - Core annual/mo display: $6.66 (computed) vs $6.65 (J's decision) → $6.65 (truncated).
- Feature gate count: 107 (v2.3) → 115 (start v2.5) → 119 (end v2.5) → 120+ (end v2.7 after Checkup + AQ gates).
- Trial length: 21 days locked (14 Pro + 7 Elite). Extensions to 28 days only via referral.
- Tier differentiation "Premium" at $24.99: renamed to Elite $23.99 (Feb 25 doc obsolete).
- TTS naming: "Standard/Clear/Natural" (Sprint 4 addendum) → "Standard/HD/Custom" (canonical §4.11). Clear (WaveNet) and Natural (ElevenLabs) add-ons DEAD.
- Checkup gating: proposed credit-gated in earlier drafts → TIER-BAKED in V2.7. Credits remain Ghost-only gate.
