## how paying works

every site starts on Sketch, free. you can set it up, share the link and collect up to 5 cards without paying anything. when the group is bigger than that, or you want every game open, you move the site to Party: one payment of $19, for that birthday, and that's it.

upgrading later only ever costs the difference. Party to Milestone is $20, not another $39.

## why one-time

a birthday happens once a year. paying monthly for it would be strange, and forgetting to cancel would be worse. so it's one price per celebration, like a really good card, except this one has an island in it.

## what nobody pays for

- friends never pay, never sign up and never see an ad.
- the birthday person never pays for their own party.
- no subscription, no renewal email, no card kept on file for next month.

## money questions.

### how much is it?

Sketch free, Party $19, Milestone $39, one payment per birthday site. Sketch takes 5 friends' cards and 2 festival games; Party takes 50 and opens every game; Milestone adds the signature themes and room for every friend. friends never pay, and nothing is a subscription.

### is it a subscription?

no. a paid plan is one payment for one birthday site: no monthly bill, no renewal email, no card kept on file. Party is $19 once and Milestone $39 once, and Sketch costs nothing. next year's birthday gets a site of its own, which starts free again.

### do friends pay anything?

never. friends open the link and leave a card for free on every plan, with no account and no ads. only the host pays, once, and only if the site needs more than the free plan's 5 cards or every game. the birthday person never pays for their own party either.

### can i upgrade later?

yes, any time, and you only pay the difference: Party to Milestone is $20, not another $39. every card already on the site stays where it is, and the bigger limits arrive as soon as the payment goes through, usually within seconds.

### how long does it stay up?

on Sketch, it takes cards until 30 days after the birthday. on Party, it takes cards for a year and then stays up as a read-only archive, and Milestone keeps it open for two years before it's archived. you can download every card and video as a zip on either paid plan.

### can i download everything?

yes, on Party and up. one zip holds every card's note, photos, doodles and videos, with a page inside that shows them all offline, no internet needed. friends' cards still belong to the friends who made them, so share the download the way they'd expect. the free Sketch plan has no download.

### can you make a custom look?

yes: a theme made by hand for one birthday site is $149, a few slots at a time. book one from the pricing page and kevin emails within two days to plan it with you: their colours, their jokes, their own nav. questions first? write to k.bowen.liu@gmail.com.

### when can i start one?

now. press "start a site", sign in, and set it up in about ten minutes: their name, their birthday and a few photos. every site starts free on Sketch, and you only pay once if the group outgrows five cards. friends never need an account.
