Why a founder presale

One payment now. No renewals, ever.

It funds the self-hosted build

Gotchi has no outside investors. Founder licenses pay for the next phase - a self-hosted Gotchi you can run for yourself or your team on your own hardware.

Lifetime license

Buy once and the app stays unlocked. Every future release - models, agent templates, connectors and app updates - is included at no extra cost.

Founders keep founder pricing

Yearly plans launch after the self-hosted release. Nobody who buys during the presale is moved onto them, and the price never goes up for you.

Unlimited everything

Run every model, build every agent, hook up every connector. We don't meter inference, tools or workflows - it's all included.

Local-first by design

Your data stays on your machine. The license unlocks the app; nothing is gated behind a remote API or quota.

Stripe-managed payment

The one-time payment, taxes and receipts are handled directly by Stripe. We never touch your card details.

FAQ

Common questions

What exactly does lifetime mean?

A permanent license for the Gotchi app on your machines, including every future update. It covers the software you run locally - not cloud compute, which Gotchi doesn't need.

Why is this sale happening?

To fund further development of our self-hosted AI product without raising outside money. Presale revenue goes straight into engineering the self-hosted release.

What happens when yearly plans launch?

Nothing changes for you. Founder licenses are honoured for life - there is no migration, no grandfathering deadline and no renewal invoice.

Is there still a free version?

Yes - the Gotchi core is free and open source forever. The €99.99 founder license unlocks the full app: every model, agent template, connector, and MCP server.

Is my payment information secure?

Yes. All card details, tax IDs and receipts are handled exclusively by Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1 certified). Gotchi never sees or stores your card number.

Can I get a refund?

No. Founder licenses are final once purchased - you keep Gotchi for life, including future updates. There are no renewals and no refunds.
