Do the cheaper plans open a smaller library?
No. All three open the same library and everything we add to it afterwards, the MCP server included the day it is switched on. What you are choosing is how long you keep it, not how much of it you get. The only difference in what you can do is the fair-use cap on the 3 month plan, and that is a rate rather than a smaller catalogue.
What is the fair-use cap, in practice?
On the 3 month plan you can copy three prompts a day. Browsing the library, filtering it, opening a design, watching the preview and saving one to your shortlist are all free and always have been; only pressing copy on a paid design counts. It resets at midnight UTC, it is not a balance, and nothing carries over to tomorrow. The yearly and lifetime plans have no cap at all.
Why is there a cap on the short plan?
Because the whole library can be taken in a weekend. A three month commitment with no limit is a way to buy the entire catalogue once and leave, and if that worked we would have to stop adding to it. Three a day is more than anyone building a real site gets through and it keeps the shortest rung honest. We would rather say that out loud than quietly rate-limit you and call it a technical issue.
What happens when I hit the cap?
The copy button waits until tomorrow. Nothing else changes: you keep browsing, you keep opening designs, your shortlist stays, and the designs you have already copied are still in your editor where you pasted them. If three a day is genuinely not enough, the yearly plan is both uncapped and cheaper per month.
Can I use the prompts for paying clients?
Yes, on every plan. Build whatever you like with them, for yourself or for a client, ship it and charge your own rate. Nothing is licensed back to us and there is no mark on anything you make. The one thing you may not do is resell the prompts themselves, as a library or a pack or a course handout. Sell the work, not the source. Both halves of that are written out properly in the licence at /terms, so you have something to show a client who asks.
What happens when a subscription ends?
The paid designs close. You go back to what a free account has, which is the whole library to browse and the designs marked free to copy. Your shortlist stays yours and your account stays open with nothing to pay. Nothing is deleted and you can start again later at whatever the price is then.
Do the prompts I have already copied stay usable?
Yes, permanently. A prompt you copied is text you now have, in your editor or your assistant or your notes, and the sites you built with it are yours. Ending a plan closes the library, it does not reach into your work. What you lose is access to copy more, including the new designs that land after you leave.
What does lifetime actually commit to?
One payment, no renewal, and the library stays open to you for as long as Thanor runs, including every design we add after you buy. The card also lists early access, and that one is a commitment rather than a thing you can use today: nothing is released in stages at the moment, so right now every plan sees a new design the hour it goes in, and the lifetime plan is the one that will see it first once staggering starts. What lifetime cannot honestly promise is that a company runs forever. If Thanor ever stopped, a lifetime licence would stop with it, which is the same risk every one-time purchase carries and is worth knowing before you pick the cheapest column per year rather than the one you can cancel.
Is the MCP server working today?
No, and the card marks it Soon for that reason. The library connected straight into the assistant you work in, so a prompt arrives in context instead of through the clipboard, is built after launch. It is included in every paying plan the day it is switched on, at no extra cost and with no upgrade to buy. Everything else ticked on the cards works now.
How do I cancel?
The 3 month and yearly plans renew until you stop them. Stopping one keeps it working to the end of the term you have already paid for, then the account falls back to free with nothing to pay. The lifetime plan has no renewal, so there is nothing to cancel. Today there is nothing running to stop either way, because checkout is not open yet; the day it opens, stopping a renewal is a control on your plan page and an email to support works as well.
