# Everything here is free. This is for anyone who wants to help anyway.

_Support us_

17 projects, 15 public repositories, and several APIs anyone can call without an account or a key. None of that changes based on what follows.

## This is not a price list

Nothing below buys anything. Not access, not higher rate limits, not priority support, not a service level, not a say in what gets built. Sponsors and non-sponsors get exactly the same API, the same code, the same licence, and the same reply to an email.

What sponsorship does is fund the hosting and the hours. The rewards are recognition — your name in a repository and a mention in the announcements channel — because that is honestly all a one-person company can promise and reliably deliver.

If you are here to solve a problem, use the projects and pay nothing. That is what they are for.

## Tiers

**Four ways to help.**

### Supporter Circle

**$5** per month. A simple way to support the work behind RoneAI.

* Your name in the Supporter Circle section of the GitHub README
* An announcement in the WhatsApp channel

### Core Member

**$10** per month. Closer to the projects, with priority recognition.

* Your name in the Core section of the GitHub README
* An announcement in the WhatsApp channel

### Elite Patron

**$50** per month. For supporters who want to help shape what comes next.

* Your name in the Elite section of the GitHub README, with a highlight
* An announcement in the WhatsApp channel

### Lifetime Patron

**$1500** once. For anyone who wants to leave a lasting mark on the project’s history.

* Your name permanently in the Lifetime section of the GitHub README
* An announcement in the WhatsApp channel

[RoneAI Updates](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBQnBf5a241SygI5Y3o) — Release notes, API status, and the occasional post when something ships. One-way: replies are not possible, and nobody is asked for a phone number.

## Before you do

**Things worth knowing.**

### Does sponsoring get me better API access?

No. Rate limits, availability and support are identical either way. If an endpoint is running in limited mode, it is limited for sponsors too.

### Can I sponsor without the recognition?

Yes. GitHub Sponsors lets you sponsor privately, and nothing will be published if you choose that.

### Who is being paid?

Sponsorship goes through the maintainer’s GitHub Sponsors account rather than a company invoice. If you need a proper invoice from PT RoneAI Teknologi Internasional — for a business expense, say — email us instead and we will arrange it.

### Where do the announcements go?

The RoneAI WhatsApp channel, linked above. It is a broadcast channel, so following it does not start a chat and does not show us your number — and it carries release notes and API status whether you sponsor or not.

### Can I stop?

Any time, from GitHub, without asking anyone. Recognition for a monthly tier ends with the sponsorship; the Lifetime entry stays.
