Reading time: 7 minutes

We’re so grateful for the enthusiastic and warm support from across the spectrum of Arti Community members over the past two and a half years. You are parents, collectors, genealogists, organizers, planners, and people who love good stories and reflective moments! We want you to know we appreciate you. We would not exist but for you! And in a time being called the "great extinction" of startups, we are, again, nothing if not grateful.

As such, please know that the changes we're about to announce will not affect our existing Arti Lite and Arti Unlimited community members.  

Effective Jan 1, 2024, we will move on from our introductory membership rates. Our new prices will be as follow: 

• • • Arti Lite, $45/year
    • Arti Unlimited, $119/year
    • Artifcts Membership + Arti Virtual Concierge, starting at $165 

Why the Price Change?

You expect quality products and services, we want to deliver on that and then some.  

Our pricing increase will help us to ensure we can keep up with unlimited Artifcting demands (our most popular membership by far), new product enhancements and integrations with other products you love and need, and stellar support, always.  

Please know that we are simultaneously and continuously taking steps to optimize costs and operate lean, lean, lean, taking advantage of every start-up offer we can find or negotiate with our services providers and using help from services providers’ AI-tools to identify efficiency gains, too.

You Know Us, It Keeps Getting Better!

We must make Artifcting fun and easy and deliver great value to you, too, as a reward for Artifcting! In just the short two years of our existence, we have regularly delivered valuable enhancements: 

• • • Audio and video can be added to enrich your Artifcts. There's nothing like here it in your voice, their voice.
    • Unlimited circles allow you to create mini communities to privately share Artifcts with each other
    • Personal timelines organize your Artifcts by year and decade, showing you gaps in your timeline, helping you with family research, too
    • Personalizable in-app and online notifications ensure you hear about updates and changes from friends, family, and Artifcts only when and how you want to
    • Inter-linking of Artifcts and people with the @ feature makes for easier story telling and connecting those dots across objects, memories, time, and people
    • Easy storage, retrieval, and download options helps you to work with estate planners, insurance companies, and even friends and family who can easily download photos and videos you share directly with them to add to their own projects, framed moments, and more.

What’s Next, You May Wonder

So much. In our current roadmap, in the new year we’ll deliver on a few big promises: 

• • • In-app audio and video recording and trimming,
    • Multi-select of Artifcts for sharing, downloading, and more,
    • Community engagement with our brain health research study.

Our team is also planning to raise our first investment in 2024 so we can provide you in-demand product features to help you know and learn more about your Artifcts, still greater support, and more! You’ll also have more in-person opportunities to join Artifcts events. 

Your Next Steps

If you are already an Arti Lite or Arti Unlimited member, you are all set! You are locked in at our introductory rates for the duration of your current membership and future renewals. Consider sharing the experience (at the same introductory rate) with your loved ones and gifting them an Artifcts membership before yearend.

If you have yet to take the plunge into Artifcts, please join us now. We’d so love for you to experience the joy and the power of Artifcts.
