Free vs Premium
Every campaign can stay free, become premium forever with a campaign purchase, or be premium while its owner has a Premium user subscription.
Free campaigns
Free campaigns support small tables, core organization, and limited storage. They keep all campaign data if premium access pauses.
Free is meant to be useful on its own. You can keep campaign notes, sessions, NPCs, maps, items, characters, party records, and player-safe visibility without starting a subscription.
Campaign lifetime premium
Campaign lifetime premium is $20 once for one campaign. It unlocks larger
tables, more storage, custom currencies, campaign export, scheduling,
notifications, and full 5e engine actions when the engine is enabled.
Campaign lifetime premium stays with the campaign when ownership transfers.
Premium user
A Premium user subscription is $5/mo. Every unarchived campaign owned by a
Premium user is premium while the subscription is active.
If the subscription stops granting access, subscription-sourced premium campaigns get a 7-day grace period to renew, buy campaign lifetime premium, or transfer to a Premium owner. Campaign data is preserved if premium actions pause.
Who upgrades
The campaign owner chooses the premium path. Campaign lifetime premium belongs to the campaign. Premium user benefits belong to the owner account and apply to campaigns they own.
Compare the paths
| Need | Best fit |
|---|---|
| One small campaign with core notes, maps, sessions, and visibility | Free |
| One long-running table that should stay premium forever | Campaign lifetime premium |
| One GM who owns multiple active campaigns | Premium user |
| A premium campaign changing owners | Campaign lifetime premium, or transfer to a Premium user |
What premium changes
Premium is for campaign scale and polish: larger tables, multi-GM play, more storage, custom currencies, export, advanced app notifications, and full optional 5e engine actions when a campaign has the 5e engine enabled.
Premium does not make non-5e campaigns second-class. Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Blades in the Dark, homebrew, and freeform campaigns keep the same campaign binder model.
