Founder Pricing
Lock in founder pricing on your first year — $49 on Plus, $99 on Studio Pro annual — as one of the first paying educators on Berdee.
While Berdee is in its early days, we offer a founder discount on your first year to the first wave of paying educators: Plus is $49 for your first year (normally $59), and Studio Pro is $99 (normally $129), on annual plans. The discount applies to your first annual invoice; renewals are at the regular price.
Who's eligible
The first 100 people to pick an annual Plus or Studio Pro plan while founder pricing is active. The pricing page tells you how many seats are left. After the cohort fills, the founder discount turns off automatically and the regular price applies.
How long it lasts
The discount applies once, to your first annual invoice. When you renew next year, you'll renew at the standard annual price. You'll see this clearly when you check out — Stripe shows the discounted total with the regular renewal amount underneath.
How to claim it
- Visit /pricing.
- Keep the toggle on Yearly, where the page opens. While seats remain, the Plus and Studio Pro cards show the founder price for your first year, with the regular yearly price crossed out. If you switched to Monthly, switch back, or press Switch to yearly on the Founder offer banner: each plan card tells you whether the founder offer applies to the billing you have selected.
- If you see the Founder offer banner with seats remaining, click Choose Plus or Choose Studio Pro.
- The Stripe checkout session applies the founder coupon automatically.
If you are not signed in yet, choosing a plan takes you to sign up first. When you click the link in your email, you come back to the pricing page with your plan and billing choice still selected. Press Continue to checkout when you are ready. Nothing is charged until you finish checkout.
Frequently asked
Can I switch from monthly to yearly later and still claim founder pricing? No. Founder pricing is for your first subscription, chosen as yearly. If you're already subscribed monthly, switching to yearly is at the standard price.
I have founder pricing on Plus. What happens if I upgrade to Studio Pro? You keep a founder discount: when you move up to Studio Pro on a yearly plan, the Studio Pro founder discount is applied to your next renewal. This happens once. Switching back to Plus doesn't add another discount.
What if I cancel partway through the founder year? Cancelling stops your plan from renewing. You keep your plan until the end of the year you paid for. The founder discount was a one-time discount on that first invoice, and nothing is refunded.
Is founder pricing the same as the founding publisher cohort? No — see Founding Publisher for the publisher-only revenue share program.
