Pricing FAQ

Straight answers, no fine print

What counts as a "question"?
One submission to Arbiter. If you ask "Can a Phyrexian Obliterator block a token with shroud?" that's one question. Follow-ups in the same conversation each count. We don't charge per-token or per-character, just per ask.
What happens when I hit the free limit?
Arbiter shows you an inline message in the chat with the option to upgrade. You can keep the page open, come back tomorrow, or upgrade right then. No popups, no redirects, no email-walls.
Does paying affect Arbiter on Discord?
The free Discord experience stays free. The web chat is where the freemium gate lives, since that's where most visitors land. Discord servers running Arbiter aren't impacted.
Can I switch which game my Single Game Pro covers?
Yes, switch your covered game once per billing cycle. If you bounce between systems often, the All Games Bundle is probably a better fit.
How do I cancel?
Through your Ko-fi account in two clicks. No "are you sure" gauntlet, no retention email loop.
Why Ko-fi instead of Stripe / PayPal directly?
Ko-fi handles subscriptions cleanly, takes a tiny cut, and lets supporters who *just* want to drop a tip do that without subscribing. It also keeps the operation honest, Arbiter is built by one person and a small studio, not a VC-funded SaaS.
Will prices change?
If they do, current subscribers keep their existing rate. That's a promise, not a marketing line.

Try it before you pay for it.

The web chat on the homepage is fully working, free, and unrestricted up to your daily limit. No card. No signup.
