Plans, and what happens when your founding year ends

Published — Your account

The honest version of this is short: the free tier is not a trial. It is the tier most members should be on, and nothing that matters is behind a subscription.

What free covers

An account. A private collection with no limit. Registering work and building its provenance. Issuing certificates. Selling originals and limited editions on the marketplace. Selling open prints on the Prints page. Recording transfers. Twenty five Verity questions a day.

And your resale royalty, which is every artist’s on any plan. It has never been a Pro feature and it will not become one. A platform that made an artist pay a subscription to be paid for their own work would have the argument backwards.

What Pro adds

Your own public gallery page at your own address. Your own print shop. Verity managing that shop for you. And the verification surcharge halved from 20% to 10%, on any Pro plan, collector or artist.

That is a shopfront and some automation. It is worth paying for if you are selling seriously and worth nothing if you are not, which is the right shape for a subscription to have.

The founding year

Founding artists, the first hundred to sign up, get Artist Pro free for twelve months. No application and no jury, whatever you make and whatever stage you are at. There is no lock-in and you can cancel at any time.

What happens when it ends

A month before your founding year is up, we ask whether you would like to subscribe. If you say nothing, you drop to the free tier. Nobody is charged for a subscription they did not agree to, and nothing is taken out of your account.

Dropping to free means the gallery page and the print shop close. Your work, your records, your certificates, your provenance, your royalty and your ability to sell originals and editions all carry on exactly as before, because those were never the Pro part.

Why it is set up that way

The founding year buys us a year to build something worth paying for. If at the end of it you look at what Veriroo has become and decide it is not worth a subscription, that is not you being difficult. That is us having failed to make the case, and you should be able to walk down to the free tier and keep everything that actually belongs to you.

A platform confident in its own value does not need to hold anybody’s work hostage to collect a renewal.

Free is a real tier, not a trial. Pro adds the shopfront.
