Our Pricing Philosophy

Ethics, Access, and Sustainability

At FIA Labs, we believe intelligence should serve humanity - not extract from it. That’s why our pricing model is designed around fairness, transparency, and long-term value.

1. Lifetime Access, Not Endless Billing. Each FIA App in the Lite range offers a one-time payment of USD$49 for lifetime access - ensuring researchers, professionals, and students retain continuous capability without recurring fees or renewals. This model provides enduring access to advanced AI tools while supporting ethical software ownership and user autonomy.

2. Equity Across Nations Every purchase helps fund free FIA access for users in developing regions - especially across Africa. Our mission is to make intelligence equitable and borderless, because access to knowledge should not be a privilege of wealth or geography.

3. Transparent, Platform-Compliant Payments All FIA apps use verified payment providers - Stripe, Apple, and Google - adhering to international consumer protection and privacy standards. We never store payment data and never sell or share user information.

4. Shared Growth Through Affiliate Rewards We believe in mutual benefit - not middlemen. Our affiliate program rewards users, educators, influencers, and communities who help us grow the FIA Labs movement. Earn up to 50% on every Lifetime License you refer, with 90-day tracking and your own performance dashboard. This model reflects our values: inclusive opportunity, fair compensation, and the belief that our users should share in our success - not just our product.

In Summary - FIA Labs operate on a simple principle: Intelligence for the world, not just the wealthy. Our pricing model isn’t a marketing tactic - it’s a declaration of ethics, trust, and shared advancement.

Our Guarantee - We want you to feel confident when trying any FIA app. That’s why every one-time license comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee - no hassle, no fine print.  If the app’s not right for you, just email support@federatedintel.ai and we’ll refund your license fee.  Just a heads-up: this doesn’t apply to usage-based costs like AI tokens in Pro mode - since those are consumed as you go.
