What a ready-made programme costs

The fifteen programmes on the shelf are prepared before they are listed and are available to download after a supported purchase completes. Preview listings are not offers for sale. Prices follow two things: how long the programme runs and whether its audiovisual edition is included. The same programme costs the same for everyone, and no price here depends on who is asking. Membership in the application is a separate thing and is set out at the end.

Prepared before it is listed

The ready-made programmes are rendered in advance. An enabled purchase delivers prepared files rather than placing a new render in a queue. Each programme has an audio edition and an audiovisual edition prepared the same way.

The downloadable shelf is deliberately separate from the Fluctara application. The application is the main product and generates interactive sessions; the ready-made shelf is the simpler route when you want a fixed reviewed programme without creating an account or entering the application.

The preview on the programmes page is there to show what the choices are and what they sound and look like. It is not the product and it is not a sample of one particular file.

Ready-made: Rendered in advance. A preview listing is not purchase availability; use the programme page to check whether checkout is enabled.
Application sessions: Generated and played inside Fluctara. Application access is separate from a ready-made programme purchase.

Two things set the price

Length is the first, because a longer session is more audio to render, measure and store. Whether video is included is the second, because a rendered visual is a separate piece of work with its own file.

Nothing else is priced. The carrier, the beat, the phase plan and the starting programme you build from cost the same whichever you choose, because none of them changes how much work the render is.

Length: Priced in bands rather than per minute, so a session of 31 minutes and one of 44 cost the same. The band you land in is shown before you pay.
Audio, or audio and video: Audio is delivered in three formats at no difference in price. Video is an addition with its own price, not a different edition of the same thing.

The length bands

These are the audio prices in euro. Value-added tax is settled at checkout against the country you are buying from, so the amount you pay may differ from the amount here.

10 to 24 minutes: 4 EUR
25 to 45 minutes: 7 EUR
46 to 60 minutes: 9 EUR

With video

A session with video costs double the audio-only price. The video is a second render rather than a different edition of the first, and it arrives alongside the three audio files rather than instead of them.

A video you download plays on a display nobody has measured, so it carries no calibrated visual dose and no full-field flashing. What it carries is one of the screened Faraday, membrane, single-spiral or double-spiral fields, with its movement driven phase by phase by the audio beat. Chladni plates, concentric rings, tunnels and flashing entrainment profiles are not placed in downloaded videos.

10 to 24 minutes: 8 EUR
25 to 45 minutes: 14 EUR
46 to 60 minutes: 18 EUR

One video quality, chosen on measurement

Video is delivered at 1920 by 1080, thirty frames a second, H.264 in an MP4 alongside the audio. One quality rather than a choice of several, because a choice you cannot judge before buying is not a useful one.

The figures below come from the complete fifteen-programme release rather than a general video-size table. A field of thin bright lines on black compresses differently from ordinary camera footage, and the membrane programmes carry more encoded detail than the spiral programmes. That is why one honest size cannot be quoted for every hour of this material.

Delivered resolution and frame rate: 1920 by 1080 at 30 fps for every programme, with H.264 High-profile video and stereo 48 kHz AAC audio.
Measured size range: The fifteen prepared files range from 0.51 to 1.79 GB per hour when normalised by running time. The exact byte length belongs to each programme and is verified before it can be offered.
Complete audiovisual shelf: Fifteen MP4 files cover 477 minutes and occupy about 6.97 GB in total. No alternative resolution is advertised or silently substituted.

What arrives

Every audio purchase includes all three formats. They are the same render, encoded three ways, not three different masters. Each file carries what it was built from inside it — the parameters, the licence, and the digest of the build that produced it — so it can still be identified years later by whoever is holding it.

WAV, 48 kHz, 24-bit: The master itself, uncompressed. About 1,037 MB for a 60-minute session. Its sample values round-trip to within one part in 8,388,607.
FLAC, 48 kHz, 24-bit: The same samples, losslessly compressed. Smaller than the WAV by an amount that depends on the content.
MP3, 320 kbit/s constant: About 144 MB for a 60-minute session. Measured at 78.71 dB against the master, where the same file at 128 kbit/s reaches 26.03 dB, and the difference between the two channels is preserved to four decimal places, which is the part a binaural session depends on.

Ninety days to download it

A file you buy stays available for ninety days, and you can download it as many times as you like within that window. Keep your own copy before it closes: after ninety days your purchase access ends and buying the programme again is the way back to the download vault.

The protected catalogue master is retained so the same reviewed bytes remain available to every buyer. The ninety-day limit applies to your purchase access, not to the integrity of that shared master, and the files are never exposed as public URLs.

Membership is a different thing entirely

Everything above buys one file. Membership buys use of the application, where sessions are generated and played rather than downloaded, and the two do not substitute for one another: a membership does not include downloads, and a download does not include the application.

These are the tiers the application carries today. Free is genuinely free and is not a trial that expires.

Free: No charge. Three sessions a week, up to 20 minutes each, seven days of history, no device integrations.
Premium — 9.99 CHF a month, or 99.99 CHF a year: Unlimited sessions up to 60 minutes, three device integrations, ninety days of history, expert mode.
Pro — 19.99 CHF a month, or 199.99 CHF a year: Unlimited sessions up to 120 minutes, unlimited device integrations, unlimited history, expert mode.
Enterprise: Contact us for pricing. What it covers is agreed case by case, so there is no listed figure to quote.

Check availability on the programme page

This page explains pricing; it does not take payment. A programme is available to buy only when its page offers an enabled purchase action with an exact edition and price. A preview alone does not mean it is on sale.

Before it opens, each price needs an approved payment object behind it, a tested guest checkout, verified delivery of the exact file, a reviewed licence for what you may do with it, a settled tax treatment, and a recovery path for a purchase you lose access to. Publishing a price before those exist would be advertising something that cannot be bought.
