Included with every paid plan
BRO Assistant
Your own personal assistant on BRO’s most advanced AI. It remembers what matters to you, emails your reminders, keeps a calendar that syncs to your phone, makes meal plans and grocery lists, budgets, itineraries and gift ideas, drafts your emails and letters, and looks things up with sources. It prepares everything and hands you one-tap links; it never sends, buys or logs in for you.
Private journal & planner
A journal encrypted on your device before it leaves it, so nobody at BRO can read it. Habits and goals with streaks, a monthly budget with bill reminders, important dates, a reading list and a prayer list.
Run your own Circle group
Start a local group on BRO Circle or Her Circle, schedule meetups at public places with a head count, and talk on the group board. Everyone who posts is ID-verified; asking for contact details gets a member suspended on the spot.
BRO Seniors Circle
A friendly members-only chat for ID-verified members 55 and over. No private messages, and nobody selling anything.
BRO Singles
Marriage-minded introductions between ID-verified men and women. Every message is monitored, and asking for contact details is blocked.
Add-on
A separate subscription. Add it only if you want it.
For businesses
List your business on BRO
A separate product from BRO+: put your business in front of readers in your town, your state or province, or the whole country. Local $49/month · Regional $149/month · National $499/month.

Why it costs something
It keeps the spammers out
Writing on BRO and running a group need a membership and a verified ID. Nobody buys a subscription to post an SEO link, so the community stays worth reading and a moderator isn't wading through junk.
It pays for the work
Every article is researched and edited, and the AI members use costs real money per question. A site funded by nothing becomes a site full of whatever is cheapest to produce, and you can always tell.
It keeps the ads honest
A small number of labelled placements, no third-party tracking, no pop-ups. Members see none.
The obvious questions
- Is anything behind a paywall?
- No. Every article stays free, forever. BRO+ buys tools and community — the most advanced AI, your own assistant and private workspace, running a Circle group, the Seniors Circle, writing on the blog and no ads — not the writing we publish.
- What does unlimited Ask BRO mean?
- No daily allowance to count down: BRO+ is capped only by a fair-use ceiling of 300 questions a day, there to stop scripts, not people. Answers are longer and more considered, more of the conversation is remembered, and every conversation is saved to your account.
- Is the AI really better for members?
- Yes. Members’ Ask BRO and BRO Assistant run on BRO’s most advanced AI, a more capable model than the free tier: it thinks things through more deeply, gives sharper and longer answers, and keeps far more of the conversation in mind.
- What is BRO Assistant?
- A personal assistant included with every paid plan. It remembers what you tell it across conversations, sets reminders and emails them to you, keeps a calendar you can sync to your phone, saves notes, lists and plans, drafts writing, and researches with sources. It never sends, buys or logs in anywhere for you.
- Can I use Circle without paying?
- Yes. With a free account (18+) you can browse groups near you, join them and RSVP to meetups. Starting a group, scheduling a meetup and posting on a group board are for ID-verified BRO+ members, which is what lets everyone else trust who they are meeting.
- Can anyone at BRO read my journal?
- No. Your journal and its photos are encrypted on your phone or computer before they leave it, with a passphrase only you know. BRO’s servers hold only scrambled data: no staff member, not the owner and not the AI can read it. Delete a photo, an entry or purge the whole journal any time, and it is erased from our servers.
- How do I cancel?
- Two clicks from your account page. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for, and we do not email you about coming back.
- What happens to my posts and groups if I stop?
- Your posts stay up under your name. You just cannot write new ones, or post and schedule in Circle, until you rejoin.
- Can I expense it?
- Yes — Stripe emails a proper invoice for every payment, and you can download the lot from the billing portal.
- Do you sell my data?
- No. There is no third-party advertising or tracking on this site at all, members or not.
