How the pricing works

One flat price per Village

Your whole Village is one monthly price — no per-seat fees, no metering the conversation. Vocabulary and features adapt to your organisation type.

200 members included — one flat price

Every Village includes 200 members at one flat price. There is no per-seat fee and no member block to buy. The cap is deliberate — communities hold together at a size where people can still know each other's names — and past 200, Federation joins Villages together rather than diluting one.

Koha if price is a barrier

We never want cost to keep a community off sovereign ground. If the standard rate is a genuine barrier, talk to us about koha.

Grows into full governance and regulated assurance as your needs deepen.

Governance & Regulated

For boards, professional and sector bodies, financial institutions, insurers, and other regulated organisations. These Villages add the governance and assurance capabilities such organisations require — the attributable record of how the board engaged with AI, signed steering and sovereign records, and regulatory-grade audit — scoped and priced per engagement.

Governance and regulated Villages are arranged directly with My Digital Sovereignty, from New Zealand. Tell us what you need and we will work through it with you.

As your governance deepens, move up →

Begin with a Village subscription. As your stakes and governance deepen — a board, a regulator — move up to Governance or Regulated assurance, arranged directly with My Digital Sovereignty. Your records and your AI come with you.

Every type deploys on sovereign infrastructure in NZ or the EU, and a new Village type can be created for any organisation — see the preconfigured types.

No GST is added.

Common Ground

What's Included in Every Village

Not a feature list — a foundation. Every Village stands on all of this, at every tier, from day one.

Stories & News

Unlimited posts with rich media, plus a branded shopfront page for non-members.

Chat on your own server

Matrix messaging on a homeserver you control, not a third party's

Video Calls

Jitsi video conferencing

Calendar

Events with RSVP tracking

Documents

File library with OCR search, and unified search across all your content.

Privacy

256-bit encryption, hosted in New Zealand or the EU.

Data Export

Leave whenever you like, with your records in open formats. Each member can download their own data with a signed portability certificate (GDPR Article 20), and a Village’s administrators can export its shared records, business plans included, one record type at a time. No lock-in.

Village AI

Guardian Agents and a 3-gate quality system, with tradition-aware framing.

And no Village is an island: Village Federation is part of the ground — sovereignty without isolation, sharing what you choose with the Villages you choose. When you outgrow 200 members, federate rather than dilute.

Decide

Decisions your members can stand behind

Village Assembly

A citizens' assembly built for organisations to run: put a real question to your members and rehearse the argument before anyone decides. Dissent is kept word-for-word, never averaged into a score; the record carries a cryptographic seal and is yours to check. The software rehearses — your people decide.

Community rate for iwi, marae and civic groups.

from —/month

Open Floor

The other half of the staff survey: a survey rates management's questions; Open Floor lets your people raise their own — ideas in their own words, built on and argued out, then drawn together without averaging, so a sharp minority idea survives whole.

Flat price — never per head. Community rate for small clubs, marae and member groups.

from —/month

Deliberation Village

Structured deliberation sessions with shared cause-and-effect maps — for working a topic through before it becomes a decision.

Open the demo →

from — per engagement

Governance API

An interface your own software calls before an AI agent acts: a proposed action goes in and a verdict and a signed receipt come back. It is available on invitation.

Sandbox by invitation. Access is a one-time token tied to a single address; there is no self-service signup.

Consolidated Village Consensus

Many rooms, one question — every room's answer drawn into a single map that keeps each minority position whole and attributed, and never averages dissent into a score. For federations running the same question across many Villages.

Open the demo →

Per engagement — enquire

Civic Assembly

A council or agency runs a consultation round: residents enter by an invitation token, contributions are kept whole, and the outcome is a sealed record that a resident can check with a verifier page.

Available on request. No price has been set.

How it works →

AI Visibility Auditor

What AI assistants say about you when somebody asks — measured, not guessed. Your questions are put to the AI systems your buyers use, the answers are recorded and checked against what your own site publishes. Sealing and time-stamping by an outside authority are built and tested, and a customer's runs can be sealed on request; a qualified timestamp is an opt-in. The work is to improve what they say about you, for the terms your buyers use; the outcome is measured rather than promised, because nobody controls a model’s answer.

Per project. No Village required.

Available on request. Accounts are issued directly to a named subscriber, whether paying or granted. There is no self-service signup.

Request access

Tell us a little about what you need and we'll be in touch — this does not create an account, and every request is reviewed before anything is issued.

—/month per project
— one-off sealed run
— per qualified timestamp, opt-in

MIO° Conduct Record

A sealed record of what your AI agents are allowed to do, and which agents exist. A change is a new dated record, the old one is kept, and an auditor can check it offline.

It records authority; it does not block or enforce anything. Available on request; there is no self-service signup.

Work

Trade on proof, not platforms

Homeground

The property marketplace without a middleman's margin — sealed records carry the trust between buyer and seller.

Attested Accounts

Finance records that show whether they were changed: every write to an invoice, quote, expense or time entry in the Business Village is signed when it happens.

An evidence layer alongside your accounting, not an accounting system or an audit opinion. Available on request; there is no self-service signup.

— /month per Village
— per pack of 100 qualified receipts

Provenance

Signed, time-stamped records of every step a lot of produce takes from grower to buyer. Each organisation in the chain signs its own records with its own key and sends them on with the lot; the exporter's dossier carries the whole chain to the buyer.

Checking a dossier costs nothing and needs no account: buyers, regulators and auditors open it in their own browser, offline, and the page shows what was and was not established.

Chain. Your organisation and up to five signing organisations, 2,000 sealed records a month, dossiers and evidence packs, every day's records time-stamped by two outside authorities, one sector profile, API keys and webhooks.

Chain Plus. Up to 25 signing organisations, 10,000 sealed records a month, two sector profiles, and 250 per-record qualified time stamps a month.

Industry scheme. For an industry body running a provenance scheme: organisations and volumes agreed per scheme, a sector profile built to the scheme's rules.

Certifier or auditor —/month. 1,000 sealed attestations a month, delivered to the lot holder at no charge to the holder.

Available on request. Evaluation access is a one-time link, issued at our discretion. There is no self-service signup.

Prices in New Zealand dollars, invoiced monthly through Airwallex (NZ) Limited. The Village Terms apply, including their limit of liability. Records are held in New Zealand or the European Union, as chosen when the Village is set up.

Your data, your jurisdiction

New Zealand · European Union

You choose where your Village lives — New Zealand or the European Union. No US-owned cloud holds your community's data: not the servers, not the storage, not the AI, which runs on our own hardware.

A US-owned cloud stays reachable by US authorities even when its servers sit in your own country. Ours is hosted by companies that are not US-owned, so that route does not run through them. For privileged and regulated work, that is the difference.

Common Questions

What is a Village Gateway category?

A category is a kind of action Village Gateway governs, such as financial records and transactions. Your Village policy is organised by category, and four starting categories are installed with every evaluation Village. You pay for each category you choose.

How does the Village Gateway evaluation work?

Evaluation access is a one-time link we issue at our discretion, and opening it starts a 30-day trial. The Village owner adds a card during the trial: it is checked then and nothing is charged. The first charge is on the day the trial ends, unless you cancel before then.

What does the Village Gateway price cover?

Each category you choose, for one Village, monthly or annual: requests in that category are checked against your policy, held for approval where your policy says so, given one-use permits when allowed, and recorded with a signed receipt. Each category costs the same, so four categories cost four times as much as one; there is no bundle discount. Prices are in New Zealand dollars and no GST is added.

How do annual billing and refunds work for Village Gateway?

An annual subscription is charged once a year for each category. If you cancel it after the trial, it ends when you cancel and we refund what you paid less each whole month used at the monthly price; if that comes to less than zero, the refund is zero. A month you have started but not finished does not count as used.

Does Village Gateway stop an AI agent that never asks it?

Yes, at every system you connect: that system asks for a permit before it acts, and without one the action does not go ahead. An AI agent asks Village Gateway before an important action. Your rules decide. The decision is a signed record you can check offline, and an approved action gets a single-use permit for exactly that action. The Village owner can stop every Gateway decision and permit for every AI agent at once, set a spending limit for each agent key, and see counts of what was checked over any period. Putting Village Gateway in the path of an action takes four steps. The agent describes what it wants to do, and Village Gateway answers: go ahead, wait for approval, or no. A cleared action receives a permit made for exactly that action. The system that carries out the action checks the permit with Village Gateway before it acts, and each permit works once. The outcome is reported back and joins the record. Because the system that does the work asks for the permit, nothing it does goes ahead without a decision from Village Gateway. A small reference program, built and tested, shows the whole route and is available on request. MIO° Conduct Record is the sealed register of which AI agents an organisation runs and what each is authorised to do, available on request. The register records authority and does not block anything. Village Gateway can check any request it governs against the mandate in force for the agent, where a policy asks for it: the action, the resource, the amount and the time window must fall within the mandate, or the request is denied. The Email Decision Record has a narrower check for sending email, which compares the action's name only. Both checks are built. Each one stays off until the operator turns it on.

About MIO° Conduct Record →

Can I cancel Village Gateway?

Yes, on the card page of your Village. Cancel during the trial and nothing is charged, and you keep Village Gateway until the trial end date. A monthly subscription cancelled after the trial runs to the end of the month you have paid for.

What am I paying for?

Sovereign infrastructure in New Zealand and the EU, our own AI models running on our own hardware, encrypted communications, five fully-localised languages including te reo Māori, and ongoing development. Your subscription is the entire business model — no advertising, no data resale, no algorithmic manipulation.

Is the price per member?

No — one flat price per Village includes 200 members, with no per-seat fees. You are billed in the currency you select.

What if the price is hard for your community?

Between 2 and 10 members can split the subscription equally, so no one person carries the cost. If the standard rate is still a genuine barrier, talk to us about koha — a contribution set to what your community can give.

Can I change plans later?

You can switch between Village types with migration assistance. Capacity add-on prices are published above. Add-ons are arranged on request.

How do we pay?

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.

How do I get started?

Every new Village comes with a Setup Checklist you work through at your own pace, and the Learning Centre walks you through each feature with tutorials and knowledge checks. If you get stuck, contact us and a person will help.

What do we expect of Village owners?

Every Village needs at least one accredited moderator before it goes live — a two-stage accreditation covering privacy, content moderation, and platform operations, taking 2–3 hours at your own pace.

Your members trust you with their data and their conversations; the accreditation makes sure you understand that responsibility.

Read the Accreditation Guide (PDF)

Where is my data stored?

In New Zealand or the EU: Catalyst Cloud in the Wellington region of New Zealand and OVH in France, with AES-256 encryption and designed to meet the GDPR. No US-owned company hosts or stores it.

Can I take my data with me?

Yes. Every Village includes full data export in open formats (JSON, Markdown) at any time — your data is always yours to take.
