Why personal use is free and unlimited

Ontonym is free for personal use. Not a trial, not a quota that runs out the week you start relying on it. Free, unlimited, for as long as it’s just you.

People assume there’s a catch, so here’s the actual reasoning.

A half-full memory is worthless

A memory earns trust by being complete. The first time you look something up and it isn’t there, you stop looking things up, and the whole thing dies. Anything that discourages you from putting facts in — a monthly cap, a per-object price, a meter ticking — attacks the product at its root. So personal memories have no meter. Fill them with everything. Three agent subscriptions are included too, so the maintenance help is there from day one.

The thing worth paying for is sharing

Ontonym becomes something else when a second person joins. One version of the truth for a team, permissions on every fact, access you can actually manage, unlimited agents proposing updates for review. That’s where the value concentrates, so that’s where the price is: $99 per user per month, starting at two users. If your company needs it inside its own network, there’s an enterprise setup — talk to us.

The quiet benefit

There’s a second-order effect we like. Because personal use is free, the people on your team can each build the habit alone first — their own memory, their own AI connected to it. When the team decides to share, nobody starts from zero. The upgrade is a decision, not a migration.

Free means free: connect your AI, load your whole world in, keep it forever. When it stops being just you, we’ll be happy to charge you.
