Pricing & early access

Currently in early access

Phantom is in early access. Every feature — including the AI ticket helper (Auto-Assist) and Custom Branding — is completely free to use during this period. No premium subscription to buy, no per-server fee, no per-member fee, nothing to top up.

Launch pricing for the premium features is still being decided. We'll announce it clearly on this docs site, the dashboard, and our Discord before anything changes — early-access users will have plenty of notice.

What's free during early access

Everything. There is no module, feature, or capability that costs money today.

That covers:

If you can find it on the dashboard, you can use it without paying.

What will be paid post-early-access

Two features are expected to become paid (or pay-as-you-go) when launch pricing is announced:

  1. Auto-Assist — the AI co-worker that auto-replies to ticket messages. This will likely move to a usage-based billing model.
  2. Custom Branding — running Phantom under your own bot token. White-label features tend to land in a paid tier across the industry; we'll likely follow the same pattern.

Both will remain available; the change will be that you'll be billed for them. Everything else stays free.

We may also introduce optional premium tiers in future for things like higher limits, advanced analytics, or enterprise features. The core moderation / security / engagement modules will always have a generous free tier.

How you'll find out about pricing

When launch pricing is finalised:

  • The dashboard surfaces a banner above every page until you acknowledge it.
  • This page (/getting-started/premium) is updated with the full pricing details.
  • An announcement is posted in the official Phantom Discord.
  • Servers using Auto-Assist or Custom Branding get a per-server DM-style email-equivalent in the dashboard.

You won't suddenly get billed without notice. The pricing model is being designed around fair, transparent, and predictable costs.

Refunds & fair use

When pricing lands, the refund and fair-use policy will be published here. Until then, there's nothing to refund — everything is free.

Feedback

We're shaping early-access feedback into the launch pricing decision. If you have strong opinions on what should be free vs paid, what's worth paying for vs what isn't, or how the pricing should be structured — drop it in #feedback in our Discord. Early adopters get a direct say.

Phantom is a product of Hydra Labs. The bot is run as a managed service; you do not need to host it yourself.
