A writing tool that respects your attention.

Pricing
Two prices. No grid.
Permanent. No usage caps. No "free tier" footnote. If you're using Margin alone or with one other person, this is the only price you'll ever see.
Shared workspaces, SSO, audit log, retention policy. Same app, with the operational glue teams need. Email us for a 30-day team trial — no card.
That's the entire pricing page. There is no Enterprise tier. There is no Pro tier. There is no card-required-for-free. If we ever change this, current personal users keep what they have — that's a written commitment, not a footnote.
Why personal is free
Margin is built by three people. Our marginal cost per personal user is small — local-first sync, no cloud heavy-lift, no LLM API spend. Charging individuals would force us to build conversion machinery we don't want to build, optimizing for funnel metrics that don't predict whether the app is good.
Teams pay because team features genuinely cost more to operate (shared infrastructure, support burden, legal posture). The split is honest, and it's also how we keep the personal app calm.
A note
Hi — I'm Hannah Reiter. I built Margin after a decade of trying to write inside other people's productivity apps. They kept inventing new ways to show me prompts. I wanted a place where the cursor was the most important thing on the screen.
If something in the app gets in your way, please email me. I read everything.
