What pricing objections came up most, and should I launch monthly or annual?

Launch at $29/mo, monthly. Your captures agree the higher price reads as “serious,” not expensive[1] — and monthly avoids the refund risk annual front-loads before you’ve proven the aha[2]. The one place they disagree: annual cuts churn, but your own note says monthly churned faster only before activation[3]. Fix activation first, then push annual.

Founders who raised from $9 to $29 saw conversions go up — price signaled seriousness, not sticker shock.

Annual plans cut churn ~30% but front-load refund risk; monthly is safer pre-PMF.

NoteManual note

My last app: people who paid monthly churned faster than annual once they hit the aha.

How it works

1

Capture from anywhere

One keyboard shortcut sends any text, page, screenshot, or link to your active project. No tagging, no folders, no friction.

2

AI organizes as you go

The moment you save, Brushpile reads it and slots it into a project-specific category — “Competitor pricing tactics,” not “Marketing.”

3

Ask anything. Get cited answers.

Type a question. Brushpile answers from everything you saved, with inline citations back to the exact snippet behind each claim.

Built for builders, not readers.

There's no shortage of tools for people who want to read more. Brushpile is for people who research toward something — a launch, a pricing decision, a product, a pitch.

  • Saved a great Reddit thread and never found it again
  • Juggled Notion, browser tabs, and screenshots to track research
  • Felt like your “second brain” is more of a graveyard
  • Wished someone would read everything you saved and tell you what it says

Three plans. No surprises.

Free · Basic $9.99/mo · Pro $19/mo. Every account starts with a 14-day Pro trial — no card required.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Readwise or Matter?

Those are read-it-later apps for people who want to read more. Brushpile is for people building something — snippets organized by active project, AI that synthesizes across them. The goal isn't to remember what you read; it's to use it.

How is this different from Notion?

Notion is a blank canvas you set up. Brushpile is focused: capture is one keystroke, organization is automatic. Export to Markdown anytime (Notion imports it) — no lock-in.

Do I have to bring my own AI key?

No. AI is included in Basic and Pro. We use Claude — Haiku for categorization, Sonnet for synthesis — and the cost is built into the subscription.

Can I export my data?

Yes, anytime, to Markdown on every plan. Your data is yours.
