Free to use — membership when you want more.

Everything core in LifeLayers stays free, forever. Membership adds a verified badge, profile stats, multiple avatars, and a highlights gallery — it never buys reach or changes how the feed treats anyone.

Just want to support us?

If you don't need a badge or extra features but believe in an ad-free, privacy-first place to share, you can chip in directly — one-time or monthly. Donations are a supplement, not the backbone, and they buy nothing in return: no badge, no boost, no special treatment. Purely support for the mission.

Common questions

What people ask before signing up.

How do you make money?

Membership — the Verified and Business tiers above — funds the servers, storage, and bandwidth. It's intentionally separate from the core experience, which stays free. We don't sell data, run ads, or build advertising profiles.

The promises about what we'll never do: about page.

Will the Free tier ever change?

The features listed under Free above are committed to staying free. If we ever change that — paywalling something that's free today — we'll announce it on this page first and well in advance.

Adding new things to Free is fair game. Taking things away isn't.

What exactly does membership get me, other than the badge?

A verified badge by your name everywhere, profile stats on your card, multiple avatars (with rotation or a different one per surface), and a highlights gallery. Business adds a reviewed gold badge and higher limits.

What it intentionally does not get you: more reach, algorithmic boost, or feed favoritism. The badge confirms identity and unlocks presentation features — nothing more.

What's a business Page, and how many map locations do I get?

Business members get a Presence — a dedicated Page that pins your logo on the map and gathers your posts, catalog or menu, hours and info, live happenings, and member Spaces in one place. Each map pin is reviewed before it goes live.

Your plan includes 1 location. Running more branches? You can add location packs from your Page at any time, and remove them when you don't — changes are prorated on your next invoice.

How does billing work? Can I cancel?

Payments are processed securely by Stripe; we never store your card details. Membership renews automatically each period until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from Settings → Membership & billing — your badge and features stay active until the end of the period you've already paid for, then quietly switch off. Your avatars, highlights, and settings are preserved in case you come back.

What's your refund policy?

Because you keep access through the end of each paid period after cancelling, recurring charges generally aren't refundable. If something went wrong — a duplicate charge, a billing error — contact us and we'll make it right. The Business registration & review fee is the one exception below.

Why is the Business registration fee non-refundable?

The one-time Business fee pays for the manual review of your submitted ownership documents, which happens whether or not we can approve the request. For that reason it's non-refundable. It's separate from the subscription: if you're approved, your subscription begins and is charged then; if not, you're charged nothing beyond the review fee. We tell you this clearly before you pay.

Can I support LifeLayers without buying a membership?

Yes — head to the support page and chip in a one-time amount or become a monthly supporter. It's completely optional.

A donation doesn't unlock anything: no badge, no extra features, no special treatment. The verification badge only ever means a confirmed identity, never that someone paid more. Donations just help keep the service ad-free and independent.

Are there any hidden limits on Free?

No daily caps on layers, no rate-limited messaging, no "5 friends and then you have to pay" tricks. The only limits we apply are anti-abuse — preventing spam, automated scraping, and people uploading files outside the size ceilings (5 MB per photo, 100 MB per video).

Can I switch from Verified back to Free?

Yes, at any time. The check disappears, your data stays. You can re-verify later if you want.

Start free. Stay free.
