Quick community note: we simplified supporting SparkBox to one option (Legend, $49)

Posted by tomspark

🙏 Quick community note. We've simplified supporting SparkBox to one option going forward — the $49 Legend supporter tier. The app is and always will be free. Nothing changes for anyone who's already chipped in. Your access stays exactly as it is. Our founding Legends (all 9 of you who came in early) keep your unlimited AI as a thank-you for being in first — that promise stays. And our founding Backers (in purple) keep everything you've got, including your purple supporter ring as a thank-you for being early. The $49 Legend tier remains the going-forward way to support the project. The page at tomsparkbox.com/backer.html has been updated to reflect the single option. Thanks for sticking with this — you're the reason it keeps going.

Hey! Sure, here's the full story. I retired the $29 "Backer" tier and merged everything into the single $49 Legend. The two old tiers really only differed in how much you could lean on Tom AI and the badge colour — and Legend was always the fuller one — so your Legend is completely unchanged: same Tom AI access, same priority forum support, same gold badge. Honest reason I dropped the $29: Tom AI costs real money to run, and the lower tier just didn't add up — the $49 is what keeps it sustainable. There's no practical limit on your chat for normal troubleshooting, so you're all set. And SparkBox itself stays 100% free forever — backing's purely optional support. Cheers, and thanks for having my back!

Hey Tom, For clarity what has changed with the Legend tier? I was reading about it 2 hours ago and it's just changed and I can't remember what the old version was! Cheers!
