Because I'm a student, and debaters are students. The margins are fine, I use the same APIs ChatGPT Pro uses, but I'm not paying a marketing team. Price goes up if I ever take funding; current prices lock in for anyone who signs up now.
Individual covers 10 seats. Team covers 50. Invite via email from your Team tab; everyone on your team shares your request pool.
They don't roll over, it resets monthly. At $5/year, Individual is priced to be a no-brainer even for occasional users. If you'd rather pay once and forget, Lifetime at $14.99 covers the same caps.
It's a debate engine, not a general-purpose chat. The AI is tuned per format (APDA / WSDC / PF / LD / Policy / Congress / BP), depth levels match round structure, Judge Analyzer reads real round logs, and every round you run feeds back into the AI's next round. The output is a case your opponent has to actually work to beat.
Your cases are stored in your account and used (anonymized) to make the AI sharper for everyone over time. They are not sent to third-party training. You can delete your data anytime from the Team tab.
