About Steam & the Traveler tier
AI Dungeon launched on Steam in July 2022 as a one-time purchase of $30, our Traveler tier. It was the first time players could use a model unlimited, without energy or ads limiting play.
Later, we optimized AI costs to the point where we could let ALL free players play unlimited for free without limits, and we made the Steam experience free-to-play to mirror the web and mobile apps. At that time, we gave our Traveler players extra benefits like faster AI speeds, more context, advanced settings, and credits, along with two free months of our Hero/Champion/Journey plan (a $30 value).
Then, we offered the Traveler tier as a $10 in-app purchase. This let Steam players get access to the faster speeds, larger context, advanced settings, and image credits. We stopped offering this tier to players in September 2023 and retired our Steam app in early 2024.
We recently optimized our AI costs once again, so we now let all free players use more context and advanced settings.
Long story short, over 4+ years and counting, everything that used to come with the Traveler tier is now given to our free tier by default.
It’s only thanks to the rapid evolution of LLMs and AI models that we were able to make this previously-paid experience free. We’re dedicated to giving away as much as we can for free, which is why we went down this path, rather than artificially limiting the free tier.
Even though the Traveler tier doesn’t have special benefits anymore, we’re exploring giving Travelers an exclusive, permanent badge on their profile to showcase their early support for AI Dungeon.
