Need More Capacity? Add It. Delivered
Available to all subscribers. Add-on prices reflect real infrastructure costs and may be adjusted annually (capped at 10% or CPI).
Why We Cap Community Sizes
Village starts at 25 members and can grow to 200 with add-ons. Here's why we cap it there:
It's not a limitation - it's the science of belonging.
- • Anthropologist Robin Dunbar found humans maintain approximately 150 stable relationships.
- • Companies like Gore (Gore-Tex) cap factory teams at 150 people to maintain cohesion.
- • Research shows teams under 10 maintain the most effective collaboration.
At Village, we chose the sweet spot: small enough to know everyone's name, large enough for genuine diversity of perspective.
Need more than 200? That's what Federation is for.

Common Questions
How do I get started?
Founding communities receive 50% of standard pricing — your rate never increases. Contact us and we will set up your Village personally.
Can I change plans?
Yes. Add or remove capacity add-ons anytime. Switch between Village types with migration assistance.
Where is my data stored?
EU infrastructure (OVHCloud, Strasbourg) or NZ infrastructure (Catalyst Cloud, Wellington) with AES-256-CBC encryption. Full GDPR compliance. No US data residency.
Can I export my data?
Yes. All plans include full data export in open formats (JSON, Markdown) at any time.
What payment methods?
All major credit and debit cards via Airwallex (NZ) Limited — a New Zealand-licensed payment provider (FSP1001602; PCI DSS Level 1). No US-owned processor handles your transactions.
Can we split the cost?
Yes! 2-10 members can share the subscription cost equally. Contact us to set this up for your community.
What am I paying for?
Sovereign infrastructure (servers in NZ and EU), sovereign AI inference (your own trained model), encrypted communications, 100+ language translations, and ongoing development. No advertising, no data resale, no algorithmic manipulation. Your subscription is the entire business model.
What We Expect of Village Owners
Every Village must have at least one accredited moderator. Before your Village goes live, you or a nominated member completes a two-stage accreditation covering privacy, content moderation, and platform operations. This takes 2–3 hours over your own schedule.
We take this seriously because your members trust you with their data, their content, and their conversations. The accreditation ensures you understand that responsibility.

When you subscribe to Village, you fund more than your own community. You sustain the infrastructure that makes digital sovereignty possible for everyone.
Sovereign Infrastructure
Servers in France and New Zealand. No US cloud. Encrypted at rest. Maintained and monitored around the clock.
Community-Trained AI
Each product type gets its own trained model. Your feedback improves accuracy. No external AI services — inference runs on our own hardware.
Ongoing Development
New features, security updates, federation protocols, and translation into 100+ languages. Every Village benefits from every improvement.
