Midan Shady Sphere

One club, one bill

Pricing

Add-on

Exchange Pass · $6 / month

  • Unlimited open Exchange posts (club already includes one)
  • Skill tags on posts and listing threads
  • “Open to collab” badge — feedback and collabs, not paid gigs

Add it from Billing after you join. No escrow. Off-platform payment pressure stays off this desk. Midan Micro-gigs is a separate noticeboard for short paid favors — no escrow in v1.

Pin a WIP post · $5 / 7 days

One active pin per member. Exchange Pass is not required — pin is a separate boost.

Family / sibling

+$9 / month · one extra seat

One extra 16+ seat for a sibling or household member. Separate login. You pay; they learn. v1 includes 1 family seat per household, added from Billing after you are an active club member (monthly or annual).

One-time

Money Path Pass · $25

Unlocks Shady Desk Money lessons 7–15 for life on your account. Not a subscription. Lessons 1–6 stay in the club bill. Still literacy — not advice, not a bank product.

Unlock from Billing after you sign in

Support Local boost · $25 / 30 days. Verified listing stays free — boost is featured placement on the desk, not a paid slot to get listed, and it does not publish a suggestion.
