## Free vs Premium

Free gets you a listing. Premium gets you discovered, hired, and badged.

## FAQ

### How does billing work?

$195/month via ThriveCart. Cancel anytime — your listing stays premium until the end of your billing period, then a 7-day grace window, then downgrades to free.

### What is the AI-Native badge?

A purple/cyan gradient badge gated by a 4-question skills quiz that you can take from your dashboard once you're on Premium. Pass it and the badge appears on your profile, the directory grid, and the /directory/ai-native landing page.

### Can I take the AI-Native quiz multiple times?

Yes. Unlimited retakes — but each attempt locks you out for 24 hours so the badge stays meaningful.

### What happens to my badge if I cancel?

Your AI-Native badge is cleared automatically when your Premium subscription ends and the grace window expires. You can earn it again by re-upgrading and re-taking the quiz.
