What you're paying for. Plainly.
Last updated: 31 August 2026 · Governs the founders offer at mysticportal.ai and the pages under founders.mysticrealm.ai (currently mirrored at mystic-realm.pplx.app during pre-launch)
Bottom line: Founder ($29/month) and Grumps Circle ($1,500 one-time) cover the recurring subscription fee for the Mystic Realm base platform. Items you consume inside the platform — generation credits, premium creator tiers, MET premium services, third-party add-ons — are billed separately at their published rates and are not included in either offer.
Feature status disclosure: Mystic Realm is under active development. Base platform access (Ashley's / Medusa's / Hecate's realms, referral ledger, community auditions) and Mystic Energy Therapy Seeker-tier are live today. The Cinematica creator plans described in Section 2 below (Sage, Sovereign, Studio) and their editing suite are roadmap items — not yet available for purchase. They are listed here so Founder and Grumps buyers know in advance how those items will be billed when they ship. Roadmap timing is a best-effort estimate; only the founders’ subscription-rate protection is a guarantee.
1. What the Founders offers cover
Two founder-window offers are available exclusively at mysticportal.ai through 11 September 2026 or the first 500 combined seats sold, whichever comes first.
Founder — $29/month, grandfathered
- The recurring subscription fee to Mystic Realm base platform for the life of your subscription; the rate never rises for you even after standard pricing changes to $39/month.
- Access to all Mystic Realm base realms currently live (Ashley's Realm, Medusa's Realm, Hecate's Realm) and any new realms subsequently added at the base tier.
- Mystic Energy Therapy — Seeker-tier access.
- The referral / comp program at published founder-tier rates (5–25% single-hop for life; $88 flat finder's fee on prepaid).
- "Hey Ashley" always-on wake word when it ships (distinct from today's open-mic mode).
- Priority audition submission review and community-vote eligibility.
Grumps Circle — $1,500 one-time
- Everything Founder includes, plus you never pay the recurring subscription again. The $1,500 replaces the monthly subscription fee for the life of the account.
- Highest-priority referral share within published rates.
- Founding-creator credit inside the canon.
- Capped at 100 lifetime seats total.
Important: Grumps Circle is not a prepaid all-you-can-eat account. It replaces the recurring subscription fee, and only that fee. Pay-as-you-go items listed in Section 2 below are billed separately whether you hold a Grumps seat or a Founder subscription.
2. What is billed separately (not included)
The following items are consumed usage-based and are not covered by the Founder or Grumps Circle offer. Prices are published on the product pages, can change over time, and Grumps status does not waive them.
| Item | Status | Billing model | Where published |
|---|---|---|---|
| Generation / render credits — credits consumed in the Cinematica Composer when generating video, image, or audio via Veo, Sora, Seedance, MiniMax, in-house generators, or similar | Composer beta | Pay-per-use, sold in credit packs or metered | Cinematica Composer & Composer billing page |
| Cinematica Sage tier — $99/mo — upgraded storage (500 GB), 60-minute film runtime, 4K, color and advanced audio tools, chapters, hotspots, creator-hosted auditions | Roadmap — not yet available | Monthly or annual creator subscription, on top of Founder / Grumps | Cinematica creator plans |
| Cinematica Sovereign (Platinum) tier — $299/mo — unlimited master size, 2-hour+ runtime (extend at $4.99 per 30-min block), 4K HDR + Dolby Vision, 2 TB storage, collaboration, priority queue, guaranteed quarterly Prime Theater slot | Roadmap — not yet available | Monthly or annual creator subscription, on top of Founder / Grumps | Cinematica creator plans |
| Cinematica Studio (Enterprise) tier — 8K, ProRes / DNxHR, unlimited runtime, contract storage | Roadmap — not yet available | Custom contract | Direct sales |
| Runtime extension credits — beyond the base 2-hour runtime included in Sovereign | Roadmap — ships with Sovereign | $4.99 per additional 30-minute block per film | Cinematica creator billing |
| MET premium practitioner services — anything above the included Seeker tier (advanced sessions, licensed practitioner bookings, specialty modalities) | Live | Per-session or per-package, priced by practitioner | Mystic Energy Therapy page |
| Live premiere ticketing — if a creator sells tickets to a Theater premiere of their film | Roadmap — ships with Sovereign | Per ticket, revenue-share 70% creator / 27% platform / 3% Stripe | Individual premiere page |
| Third-party services routed through the platform — external tools, APIs, or vendor services surfaced within Mystic products | As introduced | Per third-party pricing, passed through | At time of use |
Status key: Live — in production today. Beta — usable but under active development. Roadmap — planned; pricing shown so founders and Grumps buyers know how it will be billed when it ships. Not currently available for purchase.
3. Subscription price lock — what the guarantee means
Your subscription rate is locked. Standard subscription pricing will increase to $39/month once the first 500 combined founders + Grumps seats sell or on 11 September 2026, whichever comes first — but your $29/month rate (or $0 for Grumps Circle) does not change. This protection applies to the recurring subscription fee only. Prices for the pay-as-you-go items in Section 2 are not locked and can change; the platform posts current rates on the product page for each item.
4. Beta status & roadmap
Mystic Realm is under active development. Some features are live, some are in public beta, and some are on the roadmap. See the FAQ and the "Honest disclosure" section on the home page for the current status.
Roadmap timing is a best-effort estimate. The founders rate protection is a guarantee; specific feature ship dates are not. If a roadmap feature is discontinued or materially changed, holders of an active Founder subscription or Grumps Circle seat retain their price lock on the base subscription regardless.
5. Referral program
The referral / comp program is single-hop only — no multi-level structure, no pyramid, one referral level per user. Regular referrals earn 5–10% recurring for the life of the referred subscription. Founder-tier referrers earn up to 25% on qualifying referrals. Prepaid Grumps Circle seats trigger a flat $88 finder's fee. Payouts are made in USD to a Stripe Connect account on file, or held as account credit at the referrer's choice. Full referral program terms are published at mysticrealm.ai and govern in the event of any conflict with the summary above.
6. Cancellation & refunds
- Founder ($29/month): cancel at any time from your account; access continues through the end of the current billing period. Cancelling ends the subscription and its price lock; if you later resubscribe after the founder window has closed, you resubscribe at the then-current standard rate.
- Grumps Circle ($1,500 one-time): refundable in full within 14 days of purchase if you have not made material use of the account (defined as generating more than 20 minutes of rendered output or booking a MET practitioner session). After 14 days, the seat is non-refundable but transferable once to another named person via written request.
- Pay-as-you-go items: generation credits, tier upgrades, and premium services are refundable only for platform-side failures (rendering never completed, service not delivered). Unused generation credits do not expire so long as the account remains active.
7. No guarantee of earnings
Nothing on this site — including the language around the referral program, "creators are the moneymakers," creator-hosted auditions, or Theater/broadcast revenue-share — constitutes a guarantee of earnings. Actual earnings depend on referrals sent, audience built, content quality, market conditions, and other factors outside the platform's control. Published rates are the rates at which the platform pays; the payout base is variable.
8. Content, provenance & consent
Every film that reaches public surfaces (Theater, MysticCinematicTV, discoverable creator pages) is signed with C2PA Content Credentials via Mystic Canon. Any real-person appearance in a public film must resolve to a scoped consent record held in Mystic Canon. The consent registry, its scope (which world, which role, which distribution surfaces), and its revocation process are described in the Cinematica Film Upload & Broadcast Pipeline addendum and govern the platform's use of contributor voices, likenesses, and performances.
9. Where these terms apply
These terms govern the Founder and Grumps Circle offer as presented on founders.mysticrealm.ai (during pre-launch this site is also served at mystic-realm.pplx.app as a Perplexity-hosted mirror; the domain of record for the offer is founders.mysticrealm.ai) and the purchase flow at mysticportal.ai. Other Mystic sites carry general pricing and are not part of this offer. In the event of any conflict between this page and the checkout page at mysticportal.ai, the checkout page controls at the time of purchase.
10. Contact & disputes
Mystic Portal LLC — the operating entity for the Mystic Realm platform — is the counterparty to these terms. For pricing questions, refunds, or dispute resolution, contact support through the account portal at mysticportal.ai. Choice of law and any arbitration provisions are governed by the full platform Terms of Service published at mysticportal.ai; this Terms & Pricing page is a plain-language summary of the pricing-and-inclusions terms and does not replace that full agreement.
