Pricing
Finding out where you stand
costs nothing.
Free
Any project, at any point.
Point Folean at what you have and it tells you where you stand, what that means for you now, and shows the evidence behind every claim.
- Where you stand, out of ten positions
- The evidence behind every line, in full
- Anything that could not be checked, named, with the reason
- No account, and nothing is stored afterwards
Build
Where to startBefore real people are using it.
Your position names a short list of things that must be true before anyone else arrives. This is the work of closing that list, and proving each one afterwards.
- Everything in Free, kept in one place
- The gates for your position, closed and then proven
- Documents and code, written into your own project
- Re-read on demand, as often as you like
Operate
From the moment real data exists.
Position is not a photograph. Things proven last month stop being true quietly. This watches, re-checks, and tells you the moment something slips.
- Everything in Build
- Continuous re-checking as the project changes
- Anything that stops being true, reported when it happens
- If your data is ever exposed, you are told within 72 hours, built in rather than promised
Amounts are in US dollars. Free needs no account and no card.
What else this money buys
The honest comparison, including where each one stops.
Every option here is a real option, and for some people the right one. What separates them is not quality. It is how much of the result you still have to judge yourself.
| Approach | What it costs | What you get | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|---|
| Code generation tools | $20 to $50 per month | Something that runs, and looks finished | At a prototype. Nothing tells you which parts are unproven, so the ones that are not stay invisible until they matter. |
| A one-off audit | $2,000 to $20,000, once | A written opinion, by people who know what they are looking at | On the day it is delivered. It is a photograph of one moment, and your project keeps moving after the shutter closes. |
| A junior engineer | $5,000 to $12,500 per month | Somebody who can actually do the work | Where your own judgement stops. Their output still has to be evaluated by a person who can tell good work from work that merely sounds right. |
| Folean | $0 to $299 per month | Where you stand, the evidence for it, and the work that follows from it | Nowhere quietly. Anything not checked is reported as not checked, so the edge of what is known is always visible. |
About these numbers
Indicative during early access.
Folean is in early access, and the prices above are indicative. They are a considered starting point, not a final answer, and they may move in either direction.
When they settle, they will settle on the measured cost to serve one project, plus a margin that is stated openly. Not on what the market is thought to bear, and not on a guess dressed up as a plan.
If you are paying while that happens, you will be told before anything changes, and the free reading will still be free.
