Because we run real servers.
Maia 2 is a neural network service. Stockfish at depth 22 is a real GPU job. Pattern detection runs over your last 50 games. Cloud sync stores your training history. All of that costs money to run, every month, and we'd rather charge a small recurring fee than litter the product with ads or sell your data.
We deliberately priced Pro lower than the chess-equivalent gym membership. If €4.99 a month is the difference between using Pawnther and not, email us — we'll figure something out.
