Conduit is being priced to stay serious but reachable: useful enough to charge for, honest enough to call early access, and structured so indie teams can actually get in.
For individual filmmakers running their own project spine.
Strong enough to write, plan scenes, track production context, and export without leaving the Conduit workflow.
For small crews coordinating around one production operating surface.
The best value tier if the project needs shared context, clearer handoff, and a stronger production board feel than a solo workflow.
For productions that need more oversight, more depth, and more operational control.
The tier for heavier-duty use once the project has outgrown lightweight coordination and needs deeper planning leverage.
Yes. Conduit is being released as a paid early-access desktop product. The core workflow is intended to be dependable enough for real use while broader team and automation depth continues to expand.
Yes. The writing surface, scene board, and core production flow are part of the product spine. Higher tiers are about collaboration and operational depth, not crippling the core writer.
No. Conduit is designed to be useful as a screenplay-first production system on its own. The engine bridge is optional and should only matter when the production actually needs it.
These are early-access rates. The goal is to keep Conduit affordable, especially for indie filmmakers, while leaving room for broader production features over time.
