PRICING & TIERS
Start today — hardware optional. Pay for the level you're on — from AI foundations to Master Circle.
The optional IoT lane
Code first. Ship first. IoT when you choose — optional modules at the end of tiers, no extra charge, built for international rebels and anyone who doesn’t want logistics in the way.
- Every tier is built so you can start without a kit: software-first progression, same core outcomes and benefits.
- When you want the full-stack IoT story, optional lessons at the end of tiers let you add real boards and sensors — free of charge.
- Not all rebels need IoT on their résumé — that’s why it’s optional. Complete the IoT track and you earn the IoT badge and recognition on top of everything else.

Tier 1
GUI-First Web Design, Branding & Professional Sites
Then R350/month
- GUI-first — interfaces before deep logic; every serious app starts with the face users see
- Design full professional websites you can sell; portfolio-ready work from day one
- UX, brand voice, and client branding — refine existing brands or build identity when they have none
- Included — Web dev master prompt (Rebel Glitch): build strong pages in minutes with a tested workflow
- Included — Branding master prompt + three sales/branding documents (psychology, voice, archetypes, and more): many clients think brand is only logo and colors — you uncover voice, fine-tune it, and bake it into the GUI; use it as an additional income stream

Tier 2
Web Application Development
Monthly subscription — no first-month promo on this tier
- Wire backend behavior into the Tier 1 sites and layouts you already shipped
- React & modern frontend — components, state, and patterns that scale with real data
- API design: REST/JSON endpoints, routing, validation, auth, and clean contracts between your GUI and the server
- Databases: schemas, migrations, ORMs or queries, relations, and safe access patterns your app can rely on
- Deployment: environments, hosting, secrets, CI/CD basics, and shipping builds to production with confidence

Tier 3
Mobile Application Development
Monthly subscription — no first-month promo on this tier
- Carries your GUI-first work forward — mobile UX builds on the interfaces and polish you already shipped
- React Native: much of your web app maps across with minimal rework; AI-assisted scaffolding and conversion
- AI-assisted workflows plus Expo, Expo Go, Arena (or similar) — fast device previews and iteration
- Same database as your web application — one source of truth; data stays current on web and mobile
- Develop in Cursor with live reload: see changes on your phone in real time as you edit

Tier 4
Full Stack Architect — Personalization, Integrations & Growth
Monthly subscription — no first-month promo on this tier
- Architect-grade polish on what you built in Tiers 1–3 — systems thinking, not just features
- Personalization: different customers see different pages and content; LLMs to generate unique sections where it helps
- A/B testing: rotate headings, copy, and CTAs; measure what converts
- CLI workflows (e.g. cloud platform CLIs) to automate deploys, resources, and ops alongside your stack
- Business API integrations — e.g. Xero: pull financials into dashboards, sync online cart transactions, connect what customers already run

Tier 5
Advanced AI, ML & RAG
Monthly subscription — no first-month promo on this tier
- Vector embeddings & vector DBs — search and retrieve across documents and corpora in milliseconds
- Full RAG section: retrieval-augmented generation from foundations to production-ready patterns
- Build datasets: collection, cleaning, labeling, and splits tailored to real use cases
- Train models with neural networks and other methods (Python) — supervised learning, fine-tuning, and beyond
- Predictive pipelines and shipping trained AI into your apps and APIs

Tier 6
Intelligent IoT & AI Hardware
Monthly subscription — no first-month promo on this tier
- IoT-only tier — the flagship kit is required here; the hard path is not optional
- Special Rebel Glitch kit (includes the basic board you need) — hardware is in production; availability or pre-order timing may apply when you enroll
- Prerequisites: go back and complete the optional IoT modules from earlier tiers that offered them, so you arrive ready before Tier 6
- From plain IoT to intelligent IoT — on-device AI, sensing, and automation on real boards & sensors
- Computer vision, predictive AI, and shipping models on hardware — not just in the cloud

Tier 7
RebelGlitch Master Circle
Monthly subscription — no first-month promo on this tier
- Direct CLI bridge to our service: prompts in Cursor pull the data, tips, rules, and guidelines you need to program edge IoT devices right the first time
- Month 3: membership card + Rebel Glitch merchandise via courier (South Africa only at current rollout)
- Use your card for free entry to Bunker sessions, hackathons, and bigger Rebel Glitch events — we look here first for hosts and leaders
- Private graduate community, monthly masterclasses (live + recorded), employer briefs & job posts, GitHub showcase & optional IoT badge recognition
- Master Circle: open to graduates who completed Tiers 1–6 — not another course; a prestige club with real guard rails
HOW IT WORKS
One course per tier: Complete the final quiz and spend at least three weeks on your current tier to unlock the next. You can't skip — each tier builds on the last.
Tier 1 entry: Start with R150 for your first month, then R350/month while you're on Tier 1. Trials on other tiers (where shown) follow the same pattern when you upgrade.
Hardware & IoT: You never need a kit to start or to move up tiers. Optional IoT lessons at the end of tiers are included — add a board when you want the hands-on track. Kits are sold separately if you choose them. Tier 7 Master Circle is for graduates who completed Tier 6 — invitation and community access.
Existing members: If you're on a legacy rate, we'll migrate you to the new tier pricing when you pass your current tier's final quiz (handled in billing — no forms to chase).
