# MEMANTO Context Keeper - Pricing Strategy
|
||
|
||
**Version:** 1.0
|
||
**Date:** 2026-06-07
|
||
**Status:** Planning
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Executive Summary
|
||
|
||
MEMANTO is an external memory service (powered by Moorcheh SDK) that provides persistent, semantic memory for the WP Agentic Writer plugin. It is sold as a separate subscription from the plugin itself. Users who purchase MEMANTO get a dedicated instance URL and configure it in the plugin settings alongside their own Moorcheh API key.
|
||
|
||
**Core Value Proposition:** The plugin works perfectly without MEMANTO using the built-in Context Builder. MEMANTO enhances the experience with cross-session memory, semantic recall, and elimination of context loss.

## Product Structure
|
||
|
||
### What the User Purchases
|
||
|
||
| Item | Description |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| **WP Agentic Writer Plugin** | Sold separately. Lifetime or own subscription model. Works standalone. |

## Infrastructure Costs
|
||
|
||
### Hosting Architecture
|
||
|
||
| Component | Specification | Cost | Capacity |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Coolify VPS | 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 200GB storage | $15/month | ~150 MEMANTO instances |
|
||
| Subdomain | *.context.wpagentic.dev (wildcard) | $0 | Unlimited |
|
||
| Moorcheh API | User's own key | $0 | User's responsibility |
|
||
| **Cost per MEMANTO instance** | | **$0.10/month** | |
|
||
|
||
### Scaling Model
|
||
|
||
| Subscribers | VPS Nodes | Infra Cost | Revenue at $7/mo |
|
||
|---:|---:|---:|---:|
|
||
| 1–150 | 1 | $15/mo | $1,050/mo |
|
||
| 151–300 | 2 | $30/mo | $2,100/mo |
|
||
| 301–450 | 3 | $45/mo | $3,150/mo |
|
||
| 1,000+ | 7 | $105/mo | $7,000/mo |
|
||
|
||
Each additional $15 VPS linearly adds capacity for 150 more subscribers.

## Moorcheh Free Tier Analysis
|
||
|
||
Free tier provides 10,000 vectors per month.
|
||
|
||
| Memory Type | Avg per Article | Notes |
|
||
|---|---:|---|
|
||
| Instructions (user messages) | 10 | Key user intents |
|
||
| Decisions (plan approved, etc.) | 3 | Critical checkpoints |
|
||
| Corrections (rejections) | 2 | "Don't do X" memories |
|
||
| Artifacts (plan, section summaries) | 6 | Compact summaries |
|
||
| Preferences (config, tone) | 2 | Per-article settings |
|
||
| Context (session summaries) | 2 | End-of-session wrap |
|
||
| **Total memories per article** | **~25** | |
|
||
|
||
**10K vectors ≈ 400 articles/month** on free Moorcheh tier. Sufficient for most users. Power users exceeding this would upgrade their own Moorcheh plan.

## Pricing Recommendation
|
||
|
||
### Launch Pricing
|
||
|
||
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Effective Monthly | Sites | Moorcheh |
|
||
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|
|
||
| **Context Keeper** | $7/mo | $59/yr | $4.92/mo | Up to 15 | Bring own key |
|
||
|
||
### Pricing Rationale
|
||
|
||
| Factor | Analysis |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Infrastructure cost | $0.10/subscriber — margin is ~98% |
|
||
| Cost savings delivered | ~$0.012/article; self-funding at 25+ articles/month |
|
||
| Psychological threshold | $7 is below $10 impulse-buy barrier |
|
||
| Competitive positioning | No comparable WordPress AI memory product exists |
|
||
| Plugin dependency | MEMANTO is optional; plugin works without it |
|
||
| User acquisition | Low entry price drives adoption and plugin stickiness |
|
||
|
||
### Revenue Projections
|
||
|
||
| Subscribers | Monthly Revenue | Annual Revenue | Infra Cost | Net Profit |
|
||
|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
|
||
| 25 | $175 | $2,100 | $15 | $160/mo |
|
||
| 50 | $350 | $4,200 | $15 | $335/mo |
|
||
| 100 | $700 | $8,400 | $15 | $685/mo |
|
||
| 150 | $1,050 | $12,600 | $15 | $1,035/mo |
|
||
| 300 | $2,100 | $25,200 | $30 | $2,070/mo |
|
||
| 1,000 | $7,000 | $84,000 | $105 | $6,895/mo |
|
||
|
||
### Pricing Evolution Roadmap
|
||
|
||
**Phase 1: Launch (Months 1–6)**
|
||
- Single tier at $7/mo or $59/yr
|
||
- Focus on user acquisition and feedback
|
||
- Monitor Moorcheh free tier usage patterns
|
||
|
||
**Phase 2: Growth (Months 6–12)**
|
||
- Evaluate raising to $9/mo ($79/yr) based on demand
|
||
- Introduce Pro tier at $15/mo for agencies (multi-MEMANTO)
|
||
- Add managed Moorcheh option (include API key, absorb cost)
|
||
|
||
**Phase 3: Scale (12+ Months)**
|
||
- Usage-based add-ons if needed
|
||
- Enterprise licensing for WordPress VIP / managed hosts
|
||
- Reseller program for agencies white-labeling the service
|
||
|
||
### When to Raise Price
|
||
|
||
Raise from $7 to $9 when **any** of these conditions are met:
|
||
- 50+ active subscribers
|
||
- Users volunteer that the price feels too low
|
||
- Feature set has grown (file upload, conflict resolution UI, memory browser)
|
||
- Churn is below 5% monthly
|
||
|
||
### Grandfathering Policy
|
||
|
||
When price increases:
|
||
- Existing subscribers keep their original price for 6 months
|
||
- Annual subscribers locked in until renewal
|
||
- 30-day advance notice before any price change
|
||

|
||
## Billing and Delivery
|
||
|
||
### Subscriber Onboarding Flow
|
||
|
||
1. User purchases MEMANTO subscription via payment platform
|
||
2. System provisions a MEMANTO instance on Coolify
|
||
3. User receives:
|
||
- MEMANTO instance URL (e.g., `https://abc123.context.wpagentic.dev`)
|
||
- Configuration instructions
|
||
4. User inputs in WP Agentic Writer settings:
|
||
- MEMANTO URL
|
||
- Their own Moorcheh API key
|
||
5. Plugin validates connection and activates MEMANTO features
|
||
|
||
### Provisioning Architecture
|
||
|
||
Each MEMANTO instance:
|
||
- Runs as a Docker container on Coolify
|
||
- Uses a unique subdomain under *.context.wpagentic.dev
|
||
- Isolates data per subscriber (separate agent namespaces)
|
||
- User's Moorcheh API key connects to their own vector store
|

## Risks and Mitigations
|
||
|
||
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Users hit Moorcheh free tier limit | Medium | Low | Clear documentation on limits; prompt to upgrade their Moorcheh plan |
|
||
| MEMANTO instance downtime | Low | High | Coolify health checks, auto-restart, user-facing status indicator |
|
||
| User doesn't understand "bring own Moorcheh key" | Medium | Medium | Step-by-step onboarding guide; one-click Moorcheh signup link |
|
||
| Subscriber churn after trial | Medium | Medium | Deliver clear value early (show "memories recalled" indicator in plugin) |
|
||
| Infrastructure cost spike | Low | Low | Cost is fixed $15/node; scales linearly with revenue |
|
||
| Plugin works fine without MEMANTO | Expected | None | That's by design. MEMANTO is enhancement, not requirement |

|
||
| **Upsell path** | $7 → $9 → $15 Pro tier |
|
||
