# A model people can trust.

Donations support the purpose. Payment for services should cover development and operations. Funding should be visible to the people who use the tools.

## Two ways to carry the work

### You pay for capacity. Your data stays yours.

One account, shared capacity. Your Ideallya Data plan covers stored entries, document files and Automagi – automatic processing and organization of data across the services.

### Voluntary donations

Make room for purpose-driven work, explanations and development that are not covered by a single service purchase.

## No advertising. No sale of user data. No paid ranking.

Privacy should not be a price level. Payment should also not give access to other people's data or influence over which suppliers and results are highlighted.

## What do the services cost?

The services share the capacity in Ideallya Data. The free tier gives you a small allowance to start with. You pay for more capacity when you need it, not a separate subscription for each service.

## No funding model solves everything.

Payment can create barriers. Donations can be unpredictable. Transaction fees can create incentives that must be explained. That is why we need clear boundaries and openness about the trade-offs, including as our model develops.
