+                When we launched Char Pro six months ago, we set the price at
+                $8/month — well below what it actually costs us to run the
+                service. We did this intentionally. We wanted as many people as
+                possible to experience what a privacy-first, no-bot meeting
+                notepad could be, without price being a barrier.

+              <p>
+                But we want to be honest with you about the economics. Cloud
+                speech-to-text is expensive. The providers we rely on to deliver
+                accurate, real-time transcription charge between $0.36 and $1.44
+                per hour of audio:

+                A single one-hour meeting can cost us $0.50 or more in STT alone
+                — before accounting for LLM inference, infrastructure, and
+                bandwidth. At $8/month, a user who records just two hours a week
+                would already put us at a loss. Many of our most active users
+                record far more than that.
+              </p>
+              <p>
+                We absorbed this for the past six months because we believed in
+                getting Char into your hands first. That early-bird pricing
+                helped us learn, iterate, and build something we are genuinely
+                proud of — and it would not have been possible without you.
+              </p>
+              <p>
+                Going forward, we will be adjusting our Pro pricing to reflect
+                the real cost of delivering the service. We are committed to
+                keeping Char affordable — especially compared to alternatives
+                that charge $20–30/month while locking away your data — but we
+                need pricing that lets us keep building sustainably.
+              </p>
+              <p>
+                The free tier is not going anywhere. If you prefer to bring your
+                own API keys, Char remains fully functional at no cost. And if
+                you are on the current early-bird plan, we will honor your rate
+                for as long as your subscription stays active.
+              </p>
+              <p>
+                Thank you for believing in us early. We are just getting
+                started.
