Pricing

Nine dollars a month, and nobody in recovery pays to be sponsored

The fine print, in plain words

What we will and won’t do with your money

  • The Sponsor plan starts with 7 days free. A card is taken at sign-up so it carries on without you having to remember; cancel before day 7 and nothing is charged.
  • Cancel any time from the billing portal inside the app. No phone call, no retention script.
  • One price, in US dollars, per month. It covers everything in the app today and everything we build next — there is no higher tier to be moved onto. Discount codes are honoured at checkout.
  • A portion of proceeds is donated to twelve-step programs and the recovery communities they serve.
  • We do not sell your data. There is no advertising business here and there never will be.
  • We do not charge sponsees, ever — not for storage, not for history, not for a "pro" journal.
  • We do not train AI models on recovery content.

Questions

Before you subscribe

Is 12Gradus a replacement for a sponsor?
No — and it never will be. 12Gradus is a tool a sponsor uses. The relationship, the phone calls, the meetings and the honesty all happen between two people. We are the notebook, not the person holding it.
Do sponsees have to pay?
Never. Sponsees use 12Gradus free, forever, with no feature held back and no trial clock. Sponsors subscribe; that's the whole business model.
What about anonymity?
The app shows first name and last initial throughout, the way the rooms do. Your sponsor sees the work you turn in and the check-ins you make — they do not see journal entries you mark private, or the reflections you flag as private inside an assignment. That's enforced by the database, not by hiding a button.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — your first seven days on either paid tier are free. A card is taken at sign-up so access carries on without you having to remember; cancel before day seven from the billing portal in the app and you are not charged. One trial per person, not per subscription.
