PoCo vs Aiah
Same five-apps pain. PoCo makes privacy the thesis — not a badge next to a life-OS.
Aiah names the fragmentation pain outright: you have five apps, none of them talk to each other. PoCo is built for that same mental load, with specialized helpers under one companion, a named founder and board, and a price on the site: Free $0, Pro $9.99/mo or $79.99/yr.

Questions people ask
Is PoCo like Aiah?
Both are for people tired of five disconnected apps. PoCo’s wedge is a private companion with coordinated helpers and a named team, not a life-OS badge.
What does PoCo cost?
PoCo Free is $0, no card — 50 messages a day, Mind, Reminders, and memory. PoCo Pro is $9.99/month or $79.99/year (save 33%) for unlimited messages and voice, Finance, Learning, Goals, and more.
Is PoCo end-to-end encrypted?
No. Encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256). We say that on every page because the companion has to read what you send in order to reply.
