Level Network vs Colibri Social

Level Network is a $1/month social network with no ads, no recommendation algorithm, no public popularity metrics, and a chronological timeline of the people you follow. Most social apps are free, and the price is hidden in the design: ads, engagement bait, ranked timelines, and a scoreboard over every post. Level uses a cleaner model. You pay $1 a month, and the app works for you. THE CONTRACT - Users are the customer. The dollar keeps Level independent from advertisers and paid reach. - Following means following. Your timeline is chronological posts from people you chose - nothing inserted, nothing reordered. - No public scoreboards. No public like, follower, or view counts attached to people and posts. Posts stand on their own. - Monthly on purpose. No annual lock-in. Level has to keep earning the dollar. A SOCIAL NETWORK, NOT A SLOT MACHINE Level is still for normal social life: photos, stories, links, jokes, plans, art, taste, and keeping up with friends. Post things. Comment like a person. Share finds with people who trust your taste. Small posts have room here, because social media should still feel social. WHAT LEVEL REFUSES TO DO - No ads, ever. - No For You page interrupting your timeline. - No selling your data or your attention. - No streaks, guilt loops, or fake urgency. - No paid reach. Nobody can pay their way into your timeline. QUIET BY DESIGN Notifications correspond to real social activity - a follow, a comment, a reply, a mention - not manufactured reasons to open the app. Level is built to be worth opening, not hard to close. Membership is $1/month through Apple. Cancel anytime in your Apple subscriptions. Your account and your content are yours, and account deletion is built into the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ The incentives are broken. Level uses a cleaner model.

Colibri is a next-generation social chat app, built on the AT Protocol (also called ATproto). You sign in with your existing Atmosphere identity, and your messages, images, and identity stay in your own PDS (Personal Data Server). You own them, and they travel with you across the network instead of being locked inside our servers. Communities work the same way: each one is its own repository on the network, so a community’s data isn’t trapped in any single app either. Chat with friends, get on voice and video calls, and let your community spread its wings.
