Questions

Honest answers.

If the plugin is open-source, what does the $6 buy?

Not access — the code is free and yours to keep. The Founding License is a signed credential that funds the project, opens Registry submission, unlocks the Assurance audit, and grandfathers you into every future feature. You're backing the method early and getting the founder's price.

Will $6 stay the price?

No — it's a limited founding cohort. The price rises afterward; founders keep their deal for life.

Is the Collective real, or a promise?

The 8-agent engine (4 DeepSCR + 4 FDE specialists, self-prompting) is built and tested — you can run it today via python3 -m modex.engage. The team features (shared memory across members, multi-tenant) are in beta.

Can I use it without paying?

Yes — fully. The Skill, the 7-tool local MCP, the Academy, and verifying the Registry are all free under Apache-2.0.

Refunds?

30-day money-back on the subscription tiers. The $6 license is generated on purchase, so it's non-refundable — but you can try everything free first.

Try before you trust

Free first. Found us when it's worth it.
