How Pepper compares
Human EA: $4,000–15,000/mo. Pepper EA: $199/mo $99/mo (founding rate)
Frequently asked questions
What is Founding 100 pricing?+
Pepper uses significant AI processing to deliver EA-quality work at every tier. Our first 100 paid users get early adopter pricing — locked in for your first year. After we reach 100 users, prices will increase to standard rates for new signups.
What happens after my first year?+
After your first year at founding rates, your plan renews at standard pricing. By then, Pepper will have a full year of compounding intelligence on your patterns, relationships, and preferences — making it more valuable than the day you started.
Can I downgrade Pepper?+
Yes, demotion is always one click. Pepper never takes action above its current trust level.
What happens when I hit the free tier limit?+
Pepper stops processing new content but preserves everything. Upgrade anytime to resume.
Is there a contract?+
No. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. Founding pricing is locked in for your first 12 months regardless.
What about annual pricing?+
20% discount on annual plans. Stacks with Founding 100 pricing during your first year.
Can Pepper access my email?+
Pepper uses Gmail API with read-only access by default. Send permissions are only enabled at Assistant tier and above, always with your explicit approval.
What if Pepper makes a mistake?+
Every action has a safety window. Auto-sent emails include a countdown timer. You can always cancel, and Pepper learns from corrections.
How does voice mode work?+
Voice mode (Senior EA+) lets you interact with Pepper hands-free. Say ‘Hey Pepper’ to start capturing tasks, requesting information, or giving instructions naturally.
What’s included in Relationship Intelligence?+
Chief of Staff tier includes background profiles, AI-generated relationship context, network search, health monitoring, and introduction tracking to keep you informed about your key relationships.
