What it costs

The whole price, in one place.

One instrument, one service, and an honest account of what has not been decided. Every figure below is read from the same records checkout charges from.

01 · The instrument

Bought once. The price rises as the runs go.

The instrument is a single purchase. There is no lease and no financing. Three tiers exist, and which one you pay depends on how many instruments have already been claimed — not on when you arrive.

Does not end.
The ladder is driven by units, not dates.Each tier ends when its run is claimed. Nothing expires at midnight, and no countdown is running. If the founding run is still open, the founding price is still real.
02 · The service

€25 a month — and the founding year is free.

The instrument is useless without the service behind it: the reasoning, the connectivity, the memory, the briefs and the confirmed actions. It is charged monthly and it never starts on its own — buying an instrument does not open a subscription.

The first 1,000 instruments include twelve months of service at no charge.If you buy a founding edition, the service is included for a full year from the day it starts for you. Nothing is billed in that year and no card is charged for it. After twelve months it becomes €25 a month, and you choose then whether to continue — it does not begin automatically.

Included

Reasoning and conversation, cellular connectivity, transcription, memory and recall, daily briefs, and actions Saint takes once you confirm them.

Separate

Anything Saint buys on your behalf is your money, shown to you at the price the merchant charges. We add nothing to it.

Cancel

Monthly, through Stripe's own billing page. You keep the period you have paid for; nothing is pro-rated away from you.

The instrument keeps working

If the service lapses, the object is still yours. What stops is the service behind it, not the hardware you bought.

03 · Not decided yet

The parts we will not pretend are settled.

These are open. Publishing them as open is the point: each one is a number someone would otherwise discover at their own expense.

An annual priceThere isn't one. Only the monthly €25 exists today. If an annual plan appears it will be priced deliberately, not as twelve months stapled together.
Usage limitsThe service is flat today, with no metering and no cap. Heavy and light use cost us very differently, so a fairer structure may follow — but not before we have measured real usage rather than guessed at it.
Delivery costNot yet set — shipping is quoted when the instrument is real. VAT is calculated at checkout from your address; the prices above are net of it.
A delivery dateThere is none. The instrument is at design-intent stage and has not been built. We will write before anything about that changes.
Bundling beyond the founding runThe founding 1,000 include a year. Whether the member and release tiers do is not decided, and it would change their price if they did.
04 · What happens, and when

The service starts long before the object does.

These are engineering estimates from the current programme plan, not promises. Hardware schedules move; when this one moves we will write to you rather than let you discover it.

Now — you buyPayment is taken in full. You receive a receipt, and your place in the founding run is held against your name.
1 January onwards — the serviceSaint herself starts working for you by text and voice. This part is not waiting on hardware; it is the service you can use from a phone today, and founding buyers get it as part of the purchase.
August–September 2027 — EVTEngineering validation. The first instruments exist as real hardware and are tested against the specification.
September 2027 – March 2028 — DVTDesign validation, tooling, reliability and certification work. The design freezes here.
September 2028 – January 2029 — deliveryThe estimated window for the first 1,000 instruments to reach the people who bought them.
That is a long way out, and we would rather say so.You are buying at the founding price now for an instrument estimated to arrive in late 2028. If that is not a trade you want to make, the refund position below is unconditional.
05 · If you change your mind

Refund on request.

You are paying in full, now, for something not yet built. That deserves an unusually plain refund position rather than a clause: ask, and you get your money back. Your statutory right of withdrawal applies on top of this and is not reduced by it.
