Pricing v4 had four Hub-bundled tiers and one standalone — too many decisions on the page, not enough difference between Operator and Pro. v5 cuts to Free, Pro €99, Team €199 (3 users + €29/seat), and miniterms standalone €49. The Operator tier €49 is retired; existing Operator subscribers fold into Pro at the same price they're paying. Less to read, less to A/B, less to maintain.
Each catalog entry now declares one of three kinds — infrastructure, satellite, or hub-native. Infrastructure (id, hub) is shared plumbing. Satellites (InvoiceUp, miniterms, Designer, Commander) are full apps that can stand alone. Hub-native (HelpMeNegotiate, politeno, minireplies) renders inside the Hub and never gets its own dashboard. The app switcher reads the kind and filters automatically — the per-app filter list that drifted across three places last month is gone.
Four shared packages went out together. The data layer makes single-store the default for new apps — the two-store pattern is still supported but no longer required. The shared auth library lands the canonical claim schema and drops the Operator tier from its list. The catalog ships the kind enum and a Hub module contract. The shell becomes kind-aware. All four published; consumers bump together or not at all.
Pricing rows and app categories want to multiply. The job of a single founder is to keep cutting them back to the smallest set that still tells the truth.
If you're on Free, nothing changes. If you're on Pro, you keep your price and gain the Operator-only features that used to be locked one tier up. If you were on Operator, your account auto-promotes to Pro at the next billing cycle — a strict upgrade. Standalone miniterms keeps its €49 because the audience profile is genuinely different: legal docs without an InvoiceUp dependency.
Retiring the Operator product on the payments side is a manual step on the founder list. A handful of satellites still on the prior shared-auth version need a dependency bump. Two decision docs — kind-enum and pricing-v5 — are queued so the next person to ask 'why three kinds, why three tiers' has a single page to read.
