Early access pricing

Free to think.
Plus to see how your thinking moved.

Every part of the reasoning workflow is free. Plus is for reasoning that lasts: a record of every verdict and why it changed, a comparison against the map you had before, and a view of what each conclusion is standing on. Unlimited maps come with it.

What you are paying for

Free lays out your reasoning.
Plus shows you how it moved.

Three tools you won't find in a whiteboard or a notes app. Real screens from Arguma, not mockups.

Belief history

Remember why you changed your mind.

Every time a hypothesis moves from in research to confirmed or falsified, Arguma keeps the reason you gave at that moment. Months later the hypothesis still tells you how you got there.

  • A timeline of verdicts on every hypothesis
  • Readers of a shared chain see it too
  • Free accounts keep recording; Plus shows the record
Hypothesis · The price rise scared people off
Verdict history on a hypothesis: in research to confirmed after an exit survey, then confirmed to falsified because signups fell just as hard where the price never changed
Fragility report

Find the assumption everything is standing on.

One click follows every link down the map. It ranks hypotheses by how many conclusions rest on them, and lists conclusions weakest first: standing on a falsified hypothesis, an untested one, or nothing at all.

  • Catches conclusions three links away from a broken assumption
  • Click any row to jump to it on the map
  • The count measures influence, not doubt
Fragility report
Fragility report: one broken conclusion, because the referral hypothesis it rests on was falsified
Snapshots

Compare today with before the pilot.

Freeze a map before a decision, an interview or an experiment. Later, ask what changed since: which verdicts moved, what you added, renamed or removed, and which links you drew.

  • Up to thirty snapshots per map
  • Conclusions whose confidence changed are listed too
  • Snapshots never touch the live map
Snapshots · Since “Before the pilot”
Snapshot comparison since Before the pilot: two verdicts moved to falsified and one thought renamed

And everything else in Plus

Cross-map references

Pin a thought from another map. Its verdict stays live, so when it falls over there, conclusions here are flagged.

Templates

Start from a post-mortem, a decision or a literature review, or save your own map as a structure.

Share pages

A readable address, a description, a password, an expiry date and no sign-up prompt. Sharing itself stays free.

Public profile

arguma.io/@you lists the reasoning you choose to publish, and nothing else.

Unlimited maps

Free gives you five. Plus removes the count, so a new question never waits for an old one to go.

A price that stays put

What you subscribe at is what you pay while you keep it. Full refund within 14 days if Plus isn’t for you.

Three promises, whichever plan you pick.

A reasoning tool has to be trustworthy about your reasoning. These are not negotiable.

Your work is never touched

Cancelling changes what tools you can use, never what you made. Every map, thought, link, snapshot, template, reference and published page stays exactly as it is, editable and exportable. The paid tools pause; your work doesn't.

Export is always free

JSON, Markdown and PNG export stay on the free plan for good. Arguma is a workspace for your thinking, not a cage for it.

No dark patterns

No trial that quietly converts, no weekly billing, no cancellation maze. Cancel in your account settings and it's done.

Questions people ask before paying.

What counts as a map?

A map is one canvas: one question, one decision, one investigation, with all of its thoughts and links. The two maps you get at signup (the example and your first map) count toward the five, and deleting the example frees a slot.

What happens if I stop paying?

Your account returns to Free. Nothing is deleted or changed; the paid tools pause. Precisely:

  • Maps, thoughts, links: all stay, editable and exportable. Above five maps you can't create another until you're under the limit.
  • Belief history: still recorded for every verdict change; the timeline is hidden until you resubscribe.
  • Snapshots and templates: kept, hidden until you resubscribe; you can still delete them.
  • Cross-map references you already made keep mirroring their sources; you can't add new ones.
  • Published share pages keep their address, description, password, expiry and no-sign-up setting exactly as you set them. You can still rename or revoke a link; you can't change those settings.
  • Your public profile stays online as it is. Editing it needs Plus; removing it never does.
  • The fragility report is Plus-only.
Does "early supporter" pricing really stay?

Yes. Whatever price you subscribe at is the price you keep, for as long as the subscription stays active. When Plus costs more later, it costs more for new subscribers, not for you.

Can I get a refund?

If Plus isn't what you expected, write within 14 days of paying and you'll get a full refund. No form, no reasons required.

Is there a team or education plan?

Not yet. Arguma is a personal reasoning workspace today. If you're a lab, a class, or a team that wants shared maps, write to us: those conversations shape what gets built next.

Start with one map.

Put the reasoning where you can see it. Upgrade when it matters what changed, and why.
