They share the same underlying training system. What changes is how you train: with or without the physical journal, and with or without direct 1:1 facilitation from a Certified Frequency Trainer. This article breaks down what's in each tier, who each one is best for, and how to choose.

Annual billing saves 25–40% versus monthly. Immersion is custom-priced — talk to us.
Annual billing applies to subscriptions. You can choose it during your 90-day program — the change takes effect at day 91 — or at any time as an existing member.
If you're already a member: you keep your current pricing and plan for as long as you wish. We will never change your pricing or force you to change plans. Any pricing shown on this page applies to new members only.
2. Digital — $649/year ($54/mo) or $79/month
Train from anywhere. The complete ENCODED software system, using your own notebook. Available worldwide.
Digital is the right starting point if:
You live outside the 33 shipping countries
You already love a specific notebook and want to keep using it
You want the lowest-cost way into the full system
You travel a lot and prefer a fully digital training stack
Digital doesn't include Anchor Journals. You can add them anytime from the standalone Journal shop (Single $29, 3-Pack $79, 6-Pack $139). And you can upgrade to Core at any point from Membership in the app — upgrades take effect immediately, with the prorated difference charged via Stripe. Moving to Immersion is arranged with us by email (see section 7).
3. Core — $799/year ($67/mo) or $99/month (Most Popular)
The complete system, the way it was designed. Train with the full software stack and the purpose-built Anchor Journal delivered to your door.
Everything in Digital, plus:
12 Anchor Journals per year — one a month on a monthly plan, or 3 at a time every 3 months on an annual plan
Free shipping to 33 countries
Core is the right fit if:
You want the physical journal alongside the software (most members do)
You're committed to daily handwriting as the imprinting mechanism
You live in a country we can ship to
You want the canonical ENCODED experience without 1:1 facilitation
On the annual plan, that's under $2.20 a day of training. Most ENCODED members choose this tier.
4. Immersion — custom pricing
Immersion is built around you rather than sold off a price list. It pairs the full ENCODED system with direct 1:1 facilitation, scoped to what you're working on.
Because the shape of it varies, pricing is set per member. Email [email protected] or reply to any ENCODED email and we'll set up a conversation.
Immersion doesn't auto-renew. It's custom-priced and arranged with our team, so its terms are agreed as part of your arrangement rather than rolling over automatically.
Immersion is the right fit if:
You want hands-on, personalized facilitation through your Activation
You're navigating a major life or business transition and want a guide
You want accelerated stabilization from the start
You learn faster with a live human in the loop
5. How to choose — three questions
1. Do you want the physical Anchor Journal? Yes → Core or Immersion. No → Digital.
2. Do you want direct 1:1 facilitation from a Certified Frequency Trainer? Yes → Immersion. No → Digital or Core.
3. Do you live in one of the 33 shipping countries? Yes → any tier works. No → Digital is your only membership option for now (you can still buy journals from the standalone shop if your country is on the shop's shipping list).
6. How to start
If you're new to ENCODED, you start with the 90-day program — $499, charged once when you enrol. It's the full system — Frequency Mapping, your Blueprint, the complete routine library, and the app on web and iOS — and it's long enough to complete a Frequency Mapping cycle and build the routines properly. If you're in one of the 33 countries we ship to, a 3-pack of Anchor Journals goes out as soon as you enrol — all three at once, enough for the full 90 days.
On day 91 your membership continues automatically on Digital at $79/month, billed monthly from then on. We'll remind you before that first charge. Any time during your 90 days you can open Membership in the app and switch to a different plan — Core, or annual billing — with the change taking effect at day 91, or cancel the renewal and keep full access through the end of your 90 days with nothing further charged. Because Digital doesn't include Anchor Journals, journal shipments stop at day 91 unless you switch to Core before then.
The $499 is non-refundable, so please be sure before you enrol. If something goes wrong, write to [email protected].
Want a physical journal without a membership? Standalone Anchor Journals are a one-time purchase: Single $29, 3-Pack $79, 6-Pack $139. Worth knowing what you're getting, though: the journal is built around the ENCODED training, and on its own it's a well-made notebook without the system it was designed for. If you want the result the journal is for, start with the 90-day program — the digital training is where the work actually happens.
Looking for Frequency Mapping on its own? See encoded.ai/frequency-mapping, or email [email protected].
7. Switching tiers later
Digital ↔ Core, and monthly ↔ annual, are self-serve. Open Membership in the app and choose the plan you want — you don't need to email us.
Upgrades take effect immediately. Stripe charges the prorated difference for the remainder of your current term.
Downgrades take effect at your next renewal. You keep full access to your current tier through the end of the term you've already paid for.
During your 90-day program, a plan change takes effect at day 91 rather than immediately, and nothing extra is charged before then.
Immersion is the exception. It's custom-priced, so switching to or from Immersion is arranged with us directly — email [email protected] and we'll scope it with you.

Summary
Digital ($649/yr or $79/mo): software-only, your notebook, worldwide
Core ($799/yr or $99/mo): software + 12 journals/year delivered to your door — most popular
Immersion (custom pricing, no auto-renew): Core + direct 1:1 facilitation, scoped to what you're working on
All three include 6 Frequency Maps per year, full app access (web and mobile), and the complete ENCODED training methodology. The differences are physical journals and 1:1 facilitation.
If you're unsure, Core is the default. And if you're new, you start with the 90-day program ($499), which continues automatically on Digital at $79/month at day 91 — so you don't have to settle the question on day one. You can switch to Core or annual billing, or cancel that renewal, any time during your 90 days from Membership in the app.
