Membership & access

Access works differently depending on who you are. Fans get in immediately — free, no approval, straight to the Feed. Artists go through approval, then start a 14-day Verified Artist trial with the full cabinet unlocked. Here's how each path works.

Fans — instant, free access

If you sign up as a Fan, you're in the moment you register. There's no trial, no approval queue, and no paywall — you go straight to the Feed and can watch, like, comment, and follow artists right away.

  • Immediate access to the Feed (For You + Trending) after signup
  • Like, comment, share, and follow the artists you love
  • Build a fan avatar and set a display name in Feed settings
  • Completely free — no plan to choose, nothing to upgrade
The trial, approval, and tiers below apply to artists only. As a fan, you can skip the rest of this page.

Artists — approval, then the trial

Signing up as an Artist starts an application. Our team reviews it, and once you're approved your 14-day Verified Artist trial begins — with the entire cabinet unlocked. While your application is pending you'll wait on the pending screen; once approved you land in the dashboard.

Only the free trial is finalised so far. The Pro Member tier is the paid plan that keeps your access going after the trial — its pricing and perks are still being decided (coming soon). The lists below are the intended shape of each tier.

How the artist trial & access work

There's nothing to unlock during the trial — for 14 days everything is open. The sidebar simply shows your trial status and how many days are left, with a gentle nudge to upgrade before it lapses.

On the trial, the sidebar shows your 'Verified Artist · Trial' badge and an Upgrade to Pro card — no features are locked.

When the 14 days are up, your cabinet pauses behind an upgrade screen until you move to the paid plan. Your data is safe — you just need to upgrade to keep working.

After the trial ends you'll see this instead of the cabinet. The Pro tier is still being finalised — until then, reach out and we'll sort you out.

Managing your plan

Artists can open Plans from the avatar menu (top right) or the sidebar. Your current trial is marked active; Pro shows as Coming soon until pricing is live.

The Plans page — your trial is shown as active, with Pro coming soon.

When the paid plan launches, this is where you'll be able to:

  • Upgrade to Pro — new perks unlock immediately
  • Manage your payment method
  • Download past invoices
Demo note: this is a UI/UX prototype. Billing isn't wired to a real payment processor yet — the trial is free and the Pro tier is coming soon.
