The WikiDeal Subscription Model is the revenue engine that makes the entire system sustainable — and the source of funds that ultimately pay back early funders through [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards|Cash Rewards]]. At CHF 1/month, it is designed for global accessibility: roughly equal to 1 EUR or 1 USD, making it one of the most affordable community memberships in the digital economy.

CHF 1/month is not a price for a service — it is a membership in a community-governed commons. Every franc goes back to the community.

* '''Annual value increase:''' 5% per year (same as Rewards) — CHF 1.05 in year 1, CHF 1.10 in year 2, etc.
* '''Annual value increase (proposed):''' up to 5% per year (same open question as Rewards) — a maximum-cap hypothesis, not a guaranteed rate; to be decided during Prototype 1.


The 5% annual increase ensures the subscription keeps pace with the value growth of Rewards, maintaining alignment between funders and users over time.
If adopted, an annual increase (''x%'', up to a 5% cap) would help the subscription keep pace with the value growth of Rewards, maintaining alignment between funders and users over time — but this remains a proposal under study, with no guarantee.
