Project Upgrades
Every upgrade is one time, per project, and all-inclusive within hard caps. Every project includes one expert perspective. Members save 20% on their first project and 5% after. Membership is never required to build or to file. Prices in US dollars.
Members save 20% on their first project and 5% on every project after. Any project purchase unlocks everything for that project - including the Studio - with no membership required.
Everything an upgrade exposes is included in its price. Caps are sized so a typical project never meets them, and you are warned early before any cap.

Inventor Membership (US$24 / year) adds the Studio, sidebars and 3 expert perspectives across unlimited ideas, plus 20% off your first project. It is never required: every upgrade above is complete on its own.
A future Platinum upgrade (multi-jurisdiction filing) is on the roadmap.
