🌍 Why per-region pricing on Protective & Infrastructure?

Protective Intelligence and Critical Infrastructure are inherently regional: VIP travel is to specific countries, infrastructure regulation is jurisdiction-specific (CISA = US, NIS2 = EU). Selling them globally to a single-country customer doesn't make sense. So scope ladders with tier — pick what you actually need.

🏢 Enterprise (Sentinel contract) — what's the moat?

These features make a cheap user account impossible to fake for a 30-analyst SOC:

FeatureWhy it gates enterprise
SSO / SAML / SCIMEnterprise IT requires it. Without SSO, IT won't approve deployment — full stop.
Audit logsSOC2 + internal compliance: "who viewed indicator X on date Y." Shared accounts produce undifferentiated audit logs.
API + TAXII feedsTheir SIEM/SOAR needs programmatic feeds. Web UI scraping at scale gets rate-limited; cheap accounts can't get bulk API.
Multi-seat with per-user audit30 analysts can't share 5 logins. Each needs named access, named audit trail, named permissions.
SLA + dedicated TAMContractual response times + uptime. Self-serve customers wait their turn; enterprise calls a TAM.
White-label / EU residency / on-premAdd-ons for regulated industries.

Credit packs

Every £1 you spend also extends your earned-credit unlock by 1 month. Bigger packs effectively unlock spending for years. Purchased credits are always spendable; earned credits unlock with any paid pack.

🔓 Why the £1 minimum?

To keep your earned credits spendable, you need at least one paid top-up in the past month. Any pack works — even the £1 Activation pack extends unlock by 30 days. Purchased credits are always spendable without restriction.

This filters bot/sockpuppet credit-farming, captures real payment info (so future top-ups are one-click), and qualifies you as a real customer — without locking out anyone serious. Journalists, NGOs, and lifetime / B2B Sentinel accounts are exempt.

Earn credits

Every contributor action that creates value for the platform earns credits. Some are auto-granted (post in Mímir + get reactions, daily login, referrals). Some are operator-reviewed (verified intel tips, bug reports, honest social posts about us).
loading…

Weekly auto-earned cap: 1,700 credits (after 30 days of account age). Manual-review actions are uncapped — but each is human-gated.

Promo codes & comp tiers

Active promo codes grant credits directly to your account. /r/{code} to redeem.
Journalists, NGOs, and verified academic researchers: contact us for the £5/mo press tier (credits-exempt unlock).
Lifetime advisors / friends: by invitation only.

Sentinel (Enterprise)

Sentinel is a separate product: server-side security infrastructure + intel pipeline integration for your org. Pricing is contract-based, not credit-based. Sales-qualified only — contact us.
Your employees' personal HyveHeim accounts continue to earn credits independently. They keep their forum activity, reputation, and credit balance personal — your contract covers the seats, not the credits system. If their org signs a Sentinel contract, the employee who referred you earns a 15,000 credit bounty (1 per organization).

FAQ

Subscriptions and credits — why both?

Two distinct user shapes. Credits fit ad-hoc work — a journalist on a 7-day cyber investigation, a freelancer touching maritime once a quarter. Subscriptions fit power users who need flat monthly cost, saved views, dashboards, alerts. You can switch between them anytime — your earned credits keep working as long as either an active subscription or a recent £1+ pack keeps the unlock fresh.

Practitioner vs Pro — which one is right for me?

Practitioner if you live in one domain (only cyber, only maritime, only one country). Pro if you cross-reference verticals (cyber + maritime + AI for a single investigation) or need custom dashboards. Sentinel Team if you're 3+ analysts in one org. Enterprise if your IT department insists on SSO, audit logs, or API access.

What happens to my earned credits if I don't pay?

They keep accumulating (up to the 30,000 earned-bucket cap) but can't be spent. Buy any pack (even £1) and your earned credits unlock for 1 month per £1 spent. So £1 unlocks 30 days; £25 unlocks 25 months.

What's the £1 minimum for?

Two things: captures a real payment relationship (no anonymous-forever freeloaders), and gates against bot/sockpuppet credit farming. Real users find £1 effortless; bots don't have cards. Journalists, NGOs, and B2B Sentinel accounts are exempt.

Can I buy credits for someone else?

Not yet — coming with gift codes in v1.1.

Refunds?

14-day refund on unused purchased credits. Earned credits are non-refundable for cash (they're a perk, not a transaction). Stripe handles purchase refunds; the credit ledger reverses on refund.

What about VAT / sales tax?

Currently shown without VAT; HMRC registration pending. Once registered, VAT will be added at checkout per your jurisdiction.
