Why 5 years?
The 5-year plan is our take on a sustainable, long term plan. It provides you with all of Extended’s benefits for a long time to come, and also helps support Standard Notes in developing a secure application, both technically and financially. Our revenue source comes exclusively from our customers, and not from advertisers or venture capitalists. This ensures our priorities are always aligned with yours. We’ve marked the 5-year plan at a steep initial discount as a sort of short-term “capital raise”.
The Standard Guarantee
We want to make purchasing Extended the easiest decision you'll make all year. We’re happy to offer a 100% refund within 30 days of your purchase date if you try Extended and decide it's not for you.
