Frequently Asked Questions

Advocate status is EARNED, not bought! Reach 500 reputation through quality participation: upvotes on your arguments (+10), changing minds (+50 per defection), and winning debates (+25). Advocate status is more prestigious than paying - you proved yourself.

Advocate is free and earned through reputation. It unlocks debate creation (3/month). Paid tiers (Strategist/Mastermind) add power features: private debates, AI opponents, multi-side debates, higher limits, and priority support.

Yes! You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. When upgrading, you'll be charged the prorated difference. When downgrading, your new rate takes effect at the next billing cycle.

You'll keep access to your current tier features until the end of your billing period. After that, you'll transition to the new tier. Your debates, arguments, and reputation are never affected by plan changes.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and PayPal. All payments are securely processed through our payment provider.

We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee for first-time subscribers. If you're not satisfied within the first week, contact support for a full refund.
