Moimio costs €150 per event. That is the price that covers the infrastructure, makes support possible, and means Moimio is still here next year and the year after.
There is no investor behind it and no growth target. The aim is a dependable tool for your community: affordable enough to sit in the event budget, real enough to last.
For larger events or particular circumstances, get in touch.
Your data is yours, even when you stop.
Try Moimio with a real event. If it is not the right fit, you have 30 days from your first payment to ask Paddle for a full refund, even after you have run the event. A refund closes your account and erases your data straight away, so you keep either the refund or the data, not both.
Leaving later works differently. If you ever close your account without a refund, nothing is deleted at once. For 30 days you can download a complete copy of everything through a private link, with no sign-in needed, and for 44 days you can reopen in one click, with no payment. Only after that is your data erased, backups included.
Common questions
-
Why no free trial?
There is no time-limited trial, and two better things replace it. Moimio is open source, so you can run the full software yourself, free, and evaluate it properly before paying. And your first paid event is refundable: you have 30 days from your first payment to get your money back, even after running the event, if it does not fit. A trial on sample data would tell you little. The real software, or a real first event, tells you everything.
-
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 30 days, and refunds are handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. Your first payment, the one that creates your account, is refundable in full within 30 days even if you have already run your event; because that refund undoes the account itself, it closes your account and erases all its data immediately, with no export and no reopening, so you keep either the refund or the data, not both. Any later event credit you buy is refundable in full within 30 days as long as you have not used it, and once you create an event with a credit that credit is used and is no longer refundable; you always confirm before a credit is used. After 30 days a payment is final. To request a refund, use the link in your Paddle receipt or go to paddle.net. This is our policy; your statutory rights as a consumer, where they apply, and Paddle's own buyer terms always stand alongside it.
-
We run the same retreat every year. Is there a subscription, or do we pay each time?
There is no subscription and no annual plan. Each event you run is a paid event, including a retreat you hold every year. A monthly subscription would mean paying for the months you are not using the software, so with Moimio you pay per event, not continuously in the background. Each €150 payment is an event credit you use when you run an event, so you can pay as each event comes up, or buy a couple in advance if you have several planned. If €150 per event genuinely does not fit your situation, the software is open source and you can self-host it free. That option exists for exactly that reason.
-
Does the price change with the number of participants?
€150 covers an event of up to 300 participants, whether 50 come or 300. For anything larger, get in touch and we will work out a price that fits. Moimio is built for events in roughly that range; below 50 the value is harder to justify.
-
Who pays VAT?
Paddle handles the sale as our Merchant of Record. That means Paddle, not Pistio, is officially your transaction counterparty: they issue the invoice, calculate VAT/GST/sales tax based on your location and business status, and file taxes worldwide. UK customers pay UK VAT (reclaimable for VAT-registered businesses); EU B2B customers with a valid VAT number pay net under reverse-charge. Customers in 100+ other jurisdictions see the applicable rate at checkout.
-
What happens to our data when we delete our account?
Deleting your account pauses it rather than erasing it straight away. For 30 days you can download a complete copy of your data through a private link, with no sign-in needed. For 44 days you can reopen the account in one click, with no payment, and everything is restored as it was. After 44 days the account and all its data are permanently erased, including from backups. Exports are CSV and JSON, so participant data stays usable outside Moimio. The one exception is a refund of your first payment, which closes and erases your account immediately, with no export window and no reopening (see the refund question above).
-
How is Moimio different from full church management platforms?
Platforms that cover broad church operations, like services, donations, ministries, member databases and scheduling, are usually a better fit for ongoing administration. They manage the year. Moimio handles one workflow: registration and preference-based allocation for a retreat, camp, or conference. The two sit side by side.
-
Does Moimio use AI for assignments? Was AI used to build it?
The allocation engine doesn't use AI. It's a deterministic, rule-based algorithm: the same inputs always produce the same outputs, and every assignment can be traced back to the rules and preferences that shaped it. The software itself was built with AI assistance by someone with firsthand experience organising retreats and small to mid-sized conferences. Large language models accelerated the coding work, but architectural decisions, what gets included, and the product direction remained human. The source code is open and available on GitHub.
