Choose What You Are Lifting Up
A shared place works better when the upgrade helps everyone.
Start a community free, then choose the support that matches how your people gather: improve one server, carry premium with a crew, or split the cost together. The price follows the benefit, not the other way around.
Hosted Server Pricing
Boost the whole server
Servers come in two flavors, hosted by us, or run by you. Either way, the basics are always free; a Mach boost lifts quality and unlocks extras for every member, not just the person who pays. Audio quality is the channel admin-set standard (server-gated, uplifting all members including free); video quality is the better of your personal cap or the server floor.

* Requires devices and networks that support the necessary encoding and bitrates; otherwise expect degraded quality.
† Screen-share and camera limits are separate, not a shared pool. Concurrency is the same across the Mach ladder: Mach 1, 2, and 3 all unlock 16 screen shares and 25 cameras per channel, for every member. Server plans activate in a later release; until then every channel uses the free caps (8 screen shares and 8 cameras).

Afterburner
Crowd-fund a server boost
A fair pledge-to-unlock pool, nobody is charged until pledges reach the Mach tier price. Pick Mach 2 or Mach 3; contributors pledge ~$5 or more each; when the pool hits the target the boost activates and everyone is billed their share.Example: about $5.45/month each with 3 friends toward a Mach 2 boost. Split-billing fee included.
Mach 2 · 2 contributors
$8.03/mo each
Pool total $16.05/mo
Mach 2 · 3 contributors
$5.45/mo each
Pool total $16.36/mo
Mach 3 · 5 contributors
$7.52/mo each
Pool total $37.58/mo
Mach 3 · 7 contributors
$5.46/mo each
Pool total $38.20/mo
How is Afterburner priced?
Afterburner is a pledge-to-unlock pool, nobody is charged a cent until enough contributors have pledged to cover the chosen Mach tier (Mach 2 or Mach 3). Once the pool reaches the tier price, everyone's card is charged their share and the boost activates. The minimum meaningful pledge is about $5/month. The honest catch: splitting one boost into several smaller payments means our payment processor charges a separate transaction fee on each contributor's share, so the pool total runs slightly above the solo price, roughly $16/mo for a 3-way Mach 2 pool, up to ~$38/mo for a 7-way Mach 3 pool. It's not a discount; it's a transparent way to share the cost without anyone being left holding an unfunded bill.
