What is Builders Pro?
Builders Pro is the first paid tier in our Founders Edition membership. Pro members get a verified badge, tiered project caps, higher post limits, and `$BUILDERS` subscription grants. The builder Discord community is free for every account, and weekly sprint check-ins via Discord are unlocked on paid plans.
Beyond Pro, the Founder's Circle adds a 15-minute GTM strategy call with the CEO, a 15-minute QA review call with the team, bonus distribution help — we submit your project to 25 directories and launch platforms — plus weekly progress meetings over Zoom, a private founder channel, and featured spotlights. See the full comparison at Membership Tiers & Benefits.
Pro Membership Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch between tiers?
Pro is a one-time purchase — once you own it, it's yours forever. To add Founder's Circle perks on top, you can subscribe to FC monthly or yearly from settings (Stripe will handle the recurring billing). Pro perks never go away.
How do I enable "Open to Meeting"?
Once you're a Pro member, go to your profile settings and toggle on the "Open to Meeting" option. You can also add your calendar URL (like Calendly or Cal.com) so others can book time with you directly.
What AI features are included?
Pro members get access to AI-powered content suggestions, post variations, and agentic workflows that help you create engaging content for the community. These features help you save time while creating quality posts.
Is there a refund policy?
Every paid plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Email us within 30 days of your purchase and we'll refund your most recent payment, no questions asked. After that, subscription payments are generally non-refundable.
What's the CEO verification interview?
Every Pro member books a short recorded video call with the CEO within 7 days of signing up. It keeps the community high-trust and gives you direct face time with the team. You'll see a one-click booking link in your settings after you upgrade.
