Run the business. Find the people. Reach the customers.
Software is part of the membership, not the whole of it. The app runs the shop; the community is where you find the person, the supplier or the customer when the shop needs one.
What it costs
You pay for the apps you actually install, and nothing else. There is no bundle to buy your way into and no tier that decides which apps you are allowed.
Free
$0
A real entry point, not a trial: a business profile, networking, browsing the ecosystem and testing the tools.
What it is capped at: one user, one demo or limited trade app, limited records and reporting, and one posting a month.
Per app
$4 to $40 a month, each
Every trade app carries its own price. Your bill is the sum of the ones you install — run one $4 app and you pay $4. Add a second and you pay for two.
See what each app costsSetup is one month, paid once, to the certified agent who does the work — they keep all of it, the same day. A free business still pays it, because it buys a person's time rather than software.

Before you can post work, a business needs fourteen days on Knomart and $50 of recorded sales. That applies to free and paying businesses alike — it is what makes the board worth answering.
The rules that make it worth joining
Free is a real membership
Not a countdown. A one-person shop gets a profile, a place in the network and enough tools to see whether this is for them. It is capped, and the caps are listed above rather than discovered later.
No tier decides what you may buy
Any business can install any app at that app's price. There is nothing to unlock and no upgrade you have to pass through first.
Stopping does not lock your books
If you stop paying you drop to Free and keep the starter software, the community, the marketplace and the right to post. Nothing is destroyed and nothing is held hostage.
The work you post is somebody's start
Tasks, jobs and supply requests go to members building a work history. The money goes into escrow at the moment you post, so nobody works on a promise.
Getting started
Pick the app for your trade and a certified agent takes it from there — installed, your real data loaded, your staff shown how, ending with you recording one real transaction yourself.
This membership is separate from Knozii membership — paying for one grants nothing on the other. Access to finance, customers and talent is access and eligibility, never a guaranteed outcome.
