Founders pricing: locked for the life of your plan.
The founders tier is how early operators lock today's price permanently: your rate never increases for the lifetime of the plan you hold, the lock survives any change of control of SEO Sink, and locked plans are never feature-frozen — new core features land on every plan, founders included, forever. Genuinely new add-ons are offered to existing users at adoption-level discounts. Upgrading plans moves you to then-current pricing on the new plan; the lock rides the plan, not the account.
When the tier fills, it closes — announced on this page and the pricing page as an event. There is no live seat counter and never will be: “Founders tier: closed” is a fact we publish, “3/25 remaining” is a sales trick we don't run. After founders, the ladder steps on announced dates: early adopters, ahead of the curve, front runner.
Who gets a seat
Seats are granted by application, on fit — not first-come. What we weigh:
- Attack exposure — you're in a vertical or situation where negative SEO is a live risk, and your results will actually test the product.
- Reference value — you're willing to give feedback, a testimonial we can publish (non-specific: no domain names unless you agree), and reasonable social amplification.
- Operators over tourists — a real site or estate you'll onboard, not a tyre-kick.
Decisions come back within 48–72 hours. If you're approved, you onboard in a wave — we onboard roughly five founders at a time, deliberately, framed honestly: we never sink a customer to a bad first week.

The founders terms, in plain terms
- Locked for the life of your plan — plan-specific, non-transferable; upgrading reprices at then-current rates.
- Survives acquisition — any sale of SEO Sink is conditioned on the successor honouring founders locks.
- Never feature-frozen — new core features land on founders plans forever; new add-ons at adoption-level discounts, always optional.
- Life of product, with a sunset — if a plan is ever retired: 12 months' notice plus migration at your locked rate, or a pro-rata refund of any prepaid unused period.
- Recurring, never a prepaid lifetime deal — we don't sell one-time-payment “lifetime” access, at any price, to anyone. That structure is how lifetime deals die; we won't make the promise.
- Eject stays free — self-serve detach any time, keep your disavow file and triage history. Leaving ends the lock.
One public schedule, identical for every founder — no side letters. The full founders terms are part of the terms of service. Questions: vip@seosink.com · See current founders rates · Not ready to apply? The free check is the 10-second version.
