Sources
Every quote and every number on the home page, with where it came from. Every quote was read at its own source on 2026-08-27, and the outside prices below on 2026-08-23; the rest is arithmetic on those figures, or our own prices, which you can check against the pricing page in a click. Quotes link to the individual comment, not the thread, so verifying one is a click rather than a scroll.

Numbers
| ID | Figure | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| S3 | $65 / $249 / $12 | GitBook list pricing — Premium $65 per site per month, Ultimate $249 per site per month, members +$12 per user per month. gitbook.com/pricing , checked 2026-08-23. |
| D1 | $125 a month | Derived from S3: $65 site + (5 × $12) = $125. Arithmetic, not a quoted figure. |
| D2 | $1,500 a year | Derived: $125 × 12 = $1,500. |
| D3 | another $144 | Derived: $12 × 12 = $144 — the fifth person’s cost over a year. |
| D4 | $309 a month | Derived from S3: $249 Ultimate site + (5 × $12) = $309. |
| D5 | about 3× | Derived from the ladder printed beside it: $19 → $49 is 2.6×, $49 → $149 is 3.04×. “About 3×” is that larger step to one decimal place, and the flat “3×” it replaced was false by that hundredth. Solo is not a fifth step in the comparison — it is annual-only and single-person, and $39/yr against $19/mo compares a year with a month; annualized it is $39 → $139. |
| — | 31 December 2026 | First-party. The price-lock date: accounts created before it keep the list price they signed up at, on every paid tier, while the subscription stays active. Owner ruling of 2026-09-06. |
| — | Muniment’s own prices | First-party. Free, $39/year, $19, $49 and $149 a month must match the live pricing page on every tier at all times — the one claim here a visitor can check in a single click. |
| — | $3.25 a month | Derived. $39 ÷ 12 = $3.25 exactly. Solo is sold annually only (FR-085), so the monthly equivalent is stated only where the same sentence says “billed yearly” — as the hero’s trust line and the pricing card both do. |
| — | 500 pages, 2 GB, 25 MB | First-party. 500 pages per site, 2 GB of files per site and 25 MB per uploaded file are the entitlements table’s values (NFR-FUNC-001, NFR-COST-005), and they are the same on every tier, including free. |
