Core
$249
legacy self-service contest entry point
Boundary: Best for founders who know they only need a public contest workflow. It remains a lean option, not a managed package.

Revised package ladder
Start free, then buy the right amount of human help
NamingForce now separates the free AI workspace from paid human service. Free Studio captures your brief, project history, and shortlist. If you upgrade, eligible paid Studio purchases can be credited toward the selected naming contest or package so teams do not restart from a blank brief.
FREE STUDIO
Free Studio
AI-assisted naming workspace for founders who need a structured shortlist before deciding whether to buy more help.
$0
free workspace
Includes:
- AI naming directions, project history, and saved shortlist

- Shortlist can bridge into a paid contest or package later
Recommended
HUMAN SPRINT
Human Sprint
A focused crowdsourced naming sprint when the free workspace shows promise but you need fresh human creative volume.
$299
target package
Includes:
- Human creative contest built from your brief and AI shortlist
- Winner selection workflow, domain signals, and usage caveats
- Eligible paid Studio purchases credited toward the sprint at checkout
VALIDATED
Validated Naming
Decision evidence for teams choosing among finalists and needing audience, risk, and launch-readiness signals.
$799
$599–$899 depending on panel scope
Includes:
- Audience testing on recall, trust, pronunciation, and category fit
- Competitor-confusion and preliminary trademark-risk screening
- Decision report with caveats and recommended next gates
MANAGED
Managed Naming
Facilitated naming support when the decision has stakeholders, deadlines, launch assets, or multiple workstreams.
$1,499+
$1,499–$2,499 scoped engagement
Includes:
- Brief refinement, guided review cadence, and shortlist facilitation
- Human sprint and validation plan coordinated into one path
- Handoff to domain, trademark, logo, website, and launch partners
Portfolio and agency
Custom plans for repeat naming volume
Agencies, studios, venture teams, and multi-brand operators can scope recurring workspaces, reusable briefs, package credits, and review workflows instead of buying one project at a time.
Reusable intake
Standardize briefs, decision criteria, and shortlist handoffs across clients, ventures, or product lines.
Credit governance
Track which AI Studio purchases, sprint fees, and validation packages should apply to each project path.
Review controls
Add stakeholder review stages before names move into trademark, domain, and launch workflows.
Launch coordination
Coordinate domains, logo kits, websites, and legal handoffs across multiple brands without burying caveats.
Contest package economics
Prime is being repositioned so the promise matches the service
Legacy Core, Select, and Prime checkout tiers are self-service contest products. The new package ladder makes hands-on support explicit: Human Sprint for creative volume, Validated Naming for evidence, Managed Naming for facilitated work, and custom portfolio plans for repeat volume.
Select
$399
higher-incentive self-service contest
Boundary: Adds stronger contest incentives and preliminary screening, but does not include facilitated strategy or audience validation.
Prime
$899 target
private contest tier to be migrated into Human Sprint economics
Boundary: Prime should fund privacy, operations, and human service capacity. Until checkout migration is complete, buyers should be routed to Human Sprint, Validated, or Managed when they expect hands-on help.
Launch integrations
Move from selected name to launch assets without hiding the tradeoffs
NamingForce can connect the final shortlist to practical launch steps: domains, trademark clearance, formation, logo, website, and social-handle planning. These options are kept separate from name ranking so the decision stays driven by fit and evidence.
Referral or partner compensation may apply to some downstream services. When it does, it is disclosed before purchase and is not used to rank, validate, or recommend candidate names.
Domain acquisition options
Standard registrar paths and premium-domain marketplace guidance can be reviewed side by side so teams see registration and purchase routes together.
Trademark attorney handoff
Optional attorney-led clearance is positioned as a qualified legal handoff, not a NamingForce guarantee of registrability or conflict-free use.
Formation and web launch support
Business-formation providers, website builders, logo designers, and social-handle reservation guidance can be surfaced after the naming decision.
Referral disclosure discipline
Partner or referral compensation is disclosed separately and does not influence candidate ranking, shortlist order, or validation results.
