⚠️ Closed Beta

Joining now? You're a closed-beta tester. The platform is still being built — expect bugs and rough edges, and please report them when you find them. You're backing the build, not buying a finished product.

The full public release is targeted for 2027, with quarterly founding gatherings from the Spring Equinox that year.

🌱
From £4/month
The base includes everything needed to take part in community life — UP wallet, messaging, one listing, take courses, vote.
🧩
Pay only for what you use
Add modules as your community grows. Remove them when you no longer need them. No long-term lock-in on any module.
Trust gates features, not money
Monetised courses need Trusted level; selling needs Vouched. Paying more never skips the trust system — trust is earned, never bought.
💰
Community currencies save 10%
Pay your fees in Unity Pounds or LETS credits and get a 10% discount — an incentive to keep value circulating locally.

Every module, every level

The complete matrix — 21 modules across four per-module access levels: Browse (included in base) → ParticipateCreateBuild. Prices are per module, per month, and load live from our pricing system. Base infrastructure is always included free, on top of these.

Module Browseincluded Participate Create Build Trust needed

Trust is a separate axis — earned, never bought. Paying for a level gives you the tools and capacity; your trust level (earned through vouches and positive karma) decides when you may use them. Two governance features are trust-gated and free at any paid level.

Two ways to join

Monthly membership

From £4/month

Recurring membership, cancel any time. The base covers core community life; add only the modules you need using the builder above. This is the everyday way to be a member.

Found ETC — one-off founding membership

A numbered place, held for life

During the founding phase you can take a one-off Founding membership instead: a numbered place, roughly half your contribution back in Unity Pounds, and a permanent Founder badge. We're aiming to close the founding phase in late 2026.

Founding memberships are never an investment — they carry no shares, no equity, and no financial return. They are a way to help build the community and hold a founding place within it. A 14-day cooling-off period applies to all membership payments.

The platform keeps growing

Membership includes every future feature at your chosen levels — you're backing a platform that keeps adding capability for the community, for generations to come.

🔐 Available now

Team Vault

Shared, end-to-end encrypted vault for groups and organisations — passwords, documents and secrets, with per-member access. Built and available at the Build level.

🎙️ Available now

Content & live media

Posts, podcasting, video and live streaming for creators — with a sovereign, self-hosted media pipeline rather than a third-party platform taking a cut.

📊 Coming soon

Richer analytics

Deeper community insights and reporting — group dashboards, cohort trends and exports — expanding the analytics module beyond the current levels.

📦 Coming soon

Data export & backup tiers

Your GDPR personal export is always free. Paid scheduled, org-wide and API/SQL export tiers are on the way for communities that need full portability.

Coming 2027

White-Label communities

Run ETC under your own domain, colours and logo — a fully-branded community with per-active-member pricing on top of the module fee. Pre-configure your plan now, ready for launch.

Growing

API & integrations

Connect external tools, webhooks and OAuth. The API module grows with more endpoints, higher limits and richer integration options for builders.

Pricing questions

Do I have to pay for modules I don't use?
+
No. The base membership covers core community participation. Every module is optional — you only add and pay for what you actually need, and you can remove any module at any time.
What's the difference between trust level and what I pay for?
+
They are completely independent. Paying for a module gives you the tools and capacity. Your trust level determines whether you have permission to use those tools. For example, paying for the Education Create level gives you course-creation tools — but you still need Trusted trust level (vouches + positive karma) to publish paid courses. Trust is earned through community participation, never purchased.
Can I change my modules later?
+
Yes. You can add or remove modules at any time. Changes take effect from your next billing cycle. There is no lock-in on individual modules.
How do community currency discounts work?
+
Paying your fees in Unity Pounds or LETS credits gives you a 10% discount on that portion of your bill. Alternative economies (time-banking, barter) give a 5% discount. You can even split payments — for example, 70% in UP and 30% by bank transfer, with discounts applied proportionally.
What is the Creator Sandbox?
+
If you buy a Create-level module before reaching the required trust level, your setup goes into a private sandbox. You can build and draft everything — your course, marketplace listings, event page — all ready to go. The moment your trust level reaches the required threshold, your content publishes automatically. You are never waiting with nothing to do.
Is there a refund policy?
+
A 14-day cooling-off period applies to all purchases — membership and modules. After that period, module fees are non-refundable in cash, but unused prepaid value can be credited as Unity Pounds.
