VIP Founding Member Deposit

Pophie is a finished product entering mass production. Over 40 families have been beta testing her in their homes for months — you can see their real experiences in our Facebook community.

We're targeting mid-May 2026 for our Kickstarter launch. Before launch day, we'll email you a Secret Link. Click it on launch day to place your order at the $269 VIP price — your $20 deposit is applied automatically, and you'll only pay the remaining $249 per unit at that point.

The first batch of orders is expected to ship by end of June 2026, right after the Kickstarter campaign closes. VIP customers receive priority shipping, so you're at the front of the line.

Yes, in every scenario. If you change your mind — email support@pophie.com for a 100% refund, no questions asked. If the Kickstarter doesn't reach its goal — we refund everyone automatically, no action needed on your end.

Every VIP customer gets one full year of Pro subscription included at no extra cost — a $240 value ($20/month × 12). Pro is Pophie's most complete tier, adding persistent ambient awareness (Pophie observes her surroundings beyond conversation mode and initiates interactions on her own) and access to the full Skills ecosystem. At retail, $399 (Pophie) + $240 (1 year of Pro) = $639. As a VIP, you get both for $269 — a $370 saving.

No subscription is required. After your included first year of Pro, you choose from three tiers:

• Free (Essential Companion) — $0/month. Pophie still feels alive — reacts to touch, petting, shaking, surprise, and being picked up, with expressive movements and basic visual behaviors. Includes a limited amount of voice + vision interaction time.
• Standard (Full Conversation + Growing Memory) — $10/month. Full voice and vision multimodal conversation, visual understanding during conversation, and ongoing memory that learns your preferences over time.
• Pro (Persistent Awareness + Skills Ecosystem) — $20/month. Everything in Standard, plus persistent ambient awareness beyond conversation mode and access to the full Skills ecosystem.

You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. Your memory data stays with Pophie regardless of subscription status.

No. One $20 deposit locks in the VIP price for as many units as you want. When you receive your Secret Link on Kickstarter launch day, you'll choose the quantity, and the final payment scales accordingly ($249 per unit). If you've already placed more than one deposit by mistake, just email support@pophie.com — we'll refund the extras right away.

Pophie currently ships to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Greater China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. The shipping list continues to expand — if your country isn't supported today, we'll notify you as soon as it is.

Payment is processed through Shopify's secure checkout — trusted by millions of businesses. We never see or store your card details.
