Starter

Starter is the plan for people who need real statistics more than once — a dissertation chapter, a recurring client question, a monthly report you actually want to keep. You get 3,500 credits a month, permanent report archive from day one, and a real discount over buying credits one pack at a time.

What you can do with 3,500 credits

Credits are fungible — spend them however you want, as creations or runs or any mix. A new custom analysis is priced by depth — from 200 credits for a fast Snapshot to 2,500 for a full Deck study, and you only pay if the build succeeds. Re-running a module you own costs half its build price (Snapshot 100, Brief 250, Deck 1,250 credits). Some concrete budgets:

• 17 Snapshots — a quick verified read on your data, most weeks of the month.
• 7 Briefs — one presented, shareable answer nearly every week.
• A Deck + 4 re-runs — one deep, consultant-grade study, refreshed a few times on new data.
• 14 Brief re-runs — you already own your library and you're keeping it current.
• Any combination — the ledger doesn't care. Credits are credits.

Everything in Pay As You Go, plus

• ✓
  Permanent report archive Nothing expires. Ever. PAYG keeps uncited reports for 1 year. Matters the moment you need to cite a result later.
• ✓
  17% off PAYG base rate Real savings the moment you're running more than one or two analyses a month.
• ✓
  Monthly credit refill, rolls over 3,500 credits land every billing cycle. Unused credits stay on your balance, not reset.
• ✓
  All modules, API / MCP access, R code export The full statistical library, reproducible and citable, from day one.

Who Starter is for

If you're a graduate student running the statistics for a dissertation chapter, Starter costs less than a single hour of a statistical consultant ($100–150/hr is typical) and gives you a permanent, citable archive — exactly what a committee or a journal wants to see behind a result.

If you're a researcher, analyst, or consultant who needs a real answer more than once a month, Starter beats paying per report the moment you cross a couple of analyses — and you never have to think about whether a report will still be there when you need to cite it.

What's not in Starter

Starter uses Haiku AI, the same fast model as PAYG. If you want deeper, research-grade Sonnet insights, more volume (17,000 credits/mo), and priority support, that's Pro. If you need live connectors, the AI agent, or team seats, that's Business.
