Artifcts Membership Price Adjustment

December 17, 2023

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.

You can revisit all our past product update announcements here.

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.  

On the fence? There is still time to join now free and create up to 5 Artifcts before you buy a membership and lock in our introductory rates.

If you have questions, we're here for you. Write to us at Hello@Artifcts.com.

What's New at Artifcts
Clutter Cleaner Partners with Artifcts to Revolutionize Downsizing

Clutter Cleaner, the nationwide estate cleanout and downsizing company founded by TV star and legacy expert Matt Paxton, has formed a strategic partnership with Artifcts®, a patented technology platform designed to help individuals preserve the meaning and stories behind their belongings. Together, the two companies are redefining what it means to declutter and downsize—by making it easier, more meaningful, and with less guilt, too.

With Artifcts, Clutter Cleaner clients can now digitally preserve the memories, stories, and significance of the items they’re ready to part with. The platform allows users to document the "why" behind their possessions, turning physical clutter into digital keepsakes that can be shared with family and future generations.

“We’re excited for our clients to use Artifcts to celebrate the memories of the past and move forward with the future,” said Matt Paxton, CEO and Founder of Clutter Cleaner. “Artifcts truly helps our clients downsize and move while not forgetting their most cherished memories and stories.”

This partnership enhances Clutter Cleaner’s mission to make decluttering, downsizing, and estate cleanouts less overwhelming and more empowering. By incorporating Artifcts into its nationwide service offerings, Clutter Cleaner provides an emotional bridge for clients navigating life transitions—whether downsizing a home, moving into senior living, or simply decluttering for peace of mind.

“Decluttering doesn't have to mean saying goodbye to your past,” said Artifcts CEO, Heather Nickerson. “We’re thrilled to work with Clutter Cleaner to give people a way to preserve and share the stories that matter most and document the value and provenance of the items they intend to keep.”

The Clutter Cleaner – Artifcts collaboration begins rolling out nationwide this summer, with all Clutter Cleaner teams trained to integrate Artifcts seamlessly into their estate cleanout and downsizing services.

Artifcts Continues to Shine in Genealogy Technology Space

Artifcts' continues to win the hearts and key strokes of those with a passion for family lore, history, and genealogy, earning recognition for a third consecutive years in Family Tree Magazine's 101 Best Genealogy Websites of 2025.

Family Tree Magazine's 101 Best Genealogy Websites are organized into roughly a dozen categories, including Best "Big" Genealogy Websites, Best Family Tree & Sharing Websites, and Best Genealogy Tech Tools (including Artifcts!). And this year 14 sites newly made the list. The team at Artifcts extends a warm congratulations to all awardees!

Why does Artifcts, with no family history research database or family tree builder, support family history discovery and preservation aims? It's by design, and with tremendous feedback from genealogists, too.

Artifcts offers the ease of social media, but with privacy and control over your data at its foundation. It also prides itself on avoiding the creation of a story burden. The mere fact that someone chooses to Artifct a particular item speaks volumes. And through Artifcts, you will transform objects into memories, relieving loved ones of the guilt and burden that would otherwise come someday when they inherit it all and must decide what to do with it next. 

During a recent series of focus groups facilitated by the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP, and led by the founders of Artifcts, the "no story burden" approach was validated yet again. Participants lamented being given books to fill in the blanks, a new project they didn't ask for. They also expressed frustration with automated questions. They want to handle their stories, their way, in their own time.

"Artifcts is unlocking the secret sauce to capturing stories and memories. We don't ask for the story first. We simply ask, 'What is this? What does it matter to you? And what do you want to do with it next?' and the stories unlock themselves, one after another," shared Artifcts Co-founder Ellen Goodwin.

"Exactly!" said Artifcts Co-founder Heather Nickerson. "We have to help people with all - that - stuff and also meet them where they're at. If you only have time for a bite-sized story, great, you can do that. And even better? With our ever-shrinking attention spans, your odds that friends and family will read or listen to that Artifcted story are vastly improved."

____________

Artifcts is a patented and award-winning web- and mobile-based platform. From saving memories as you declutter to preserving the value of your things, Artifcts offers people of all ages and walks of life a digital way to organize & capture the meaning behind the objects of their lives. What will you Artifct first? Start free -->
