the math

Why pricing this low works.

Rythm is structurally lightweight. We are not running AI models or scoring every message. The system makes a fast, deterministic, in-memory check before email reaches your inbox: paid, or on your guest list? That is it. No inference pipelines, no threat-intel feeds, no model training. Less compute, less infrastructure, less cost. We pass the savings to you.

There is no lock-in. We earn your business every month.
