All tiers are month-to-month — cancel anytime from inside the app. Annual billing saves the equivalent of 2 to 6 months' cost, depending on the tier — see the exact annual price on each plan card above. Every paid tier's 14-day trial is a genuine free period; nothing is charged until it ends, and you can cancel before then with no cost.
Marketplace is live — every business can list and sell today. The listing counts and commission rates on this page apply now, not a future date.
Every plan, one clean comparison.

About plans & pricing.
Can I claim my business and pick a plan before The KIN App launches?
Yes — plans open when The KIN App launches, but you can claim your business and pick your plan now so it's ready on day one. Claiming is free and takes about a minute.
Do I have to pick a paid plan, or can I stay free?
You can stay on Community for as long as you want — it's free forever, no card and no trial clock. Every business starts there and can upgrade to a paid tier any time once it's actually on the app.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. Every tier is month-to-month and you can switch or cancel any time from inside the app — there's no lock-in on any plan, including annual billing.
What happens when my 14-day free trial ends?
Nothing charges until the trial actually ends — it's a genuine free period, not a discounted first period. You can cancel any time before it ends at no cost, and if you don't cancel, billing starts at the plan's regular price.
Is annual billing cheaper than paying monthly?
Yes, on every paid tier — the savings work out to the equivalent of 2 to 6 months' cost depending on the tier. See the exact annual price on each plan card above.
How does Marketplace commission work across plans?
It scales down as you move up in tier: 10% on Community, 8% on Founder, 6% on Founding Local, 4% on Premium Local, and 0% — sell for free — on Elite.
Are Community tier Marketplace listings different before I'm verified?
Yes — on Community, Marketplace listings open up once your business is verified: 0 listings before that, 5 once verified. Every paid tier's listing cap (15 on Founder and Founding Local, 25 on Premium Local, unlimited on Elite) applies regardless.
What's the difference between Boost and KINDEX?
They're separate tracks. Boost and map carousel placement are what these paid tiers buy. KINDEX is a public score built entirely from real activity — verified visits, reviews, and engagement — and can't be purchased at any tier. See exactly how it's calculated →
