Questions
Will I lose access when pricing launches?+
No. Founding members keep their accounts and get locked-in benefits. We reward early believers — expect a permanent discount or extended free access at minimum.
Why give everything away for free?+
Feedback from real founders sharpens the blade. We need to know where Sensei cuts clean and where it doesn't. You help us build something worth paying for.
Is there a catch?+
No hidden terms, no credit card, no upsells. Full access. The only expectation: use it, and tell us when something doesn't land.
How long is founding access?+
Free through May 31, 2026. Founding members then lock in $29/month forever — that price never goes up, even as we add features and raise prices for new users. The founding rate is the lowest Sensei will ever be.
Are there usage limits during founding access?+
Founding access includes: unlimited re-analyses, up to 5 products, 10 competitor watchlist slots per product, full PDF exports, and all monitoring features. After the founding period, these limits become tier-based, but founding members keep expanded access.
What happens to my data?+
Your analysis history, roadmap progress, and competitor watchlist persist indefinitely. We'll give 30 days notice before any pricing transition, and founding members get priority access to early-access rates. This isn't a throwaway prototype — your data stays with you.
How does Sensei pricing compare to alternatives?+
A strategy consultant charges $15,000-50,000 for a single engagement. Fractional CMOs cost $5,000-15,000/month. Sensei delivers weekly diagnosis for $29-99/month — 100x more accessible, with continuous updates instead of one-time reports.
What's the ROI math?+
If Sensei helps you find one pricing mistake or one missed conversion opportunity, it pays for itself 10x over. At $79/month, you need to generate $948/year in additional value — that's often one sale, one subscription, or one avoided mistake.
Why these specific price points?+
We analyzed 50+ founder tools and positioned Sensei at the sweet spot: accessible for bootstrapped founders ($29), comprehensive for growth-stage ($79), and full-featured for funded teams ($99). These prices are 80% below comparable strategy tools while delivering more frequent, actionable insights.
