Built from real founder frustration

SmithLocker exists because I got sick of buying β€œsolutions” that talked big, cost plenty, and still left me building the part that actually mattered.

So I built the licensing system I wish I’d had from the start. This pricing is shaped around that truth: simple ladder, clear fit, no fluff parade.

It is the strongest all-round fit for most founders and the cleanest hero offer to build the whole launch around.

you are supporting clients, teams, multiple products, or a setup where recurring scale makes more sense than a one-off lane.

Why this pricing mix works

Not everything needs to be monthly to feel valuable

Starter gives cautious buyers a one-time on-ramp. Pro feels like the serious founder choice. Agency gives teams and client-heavy users a scale lane. Different buyers, different rhythm, one clear product ladder.
