Paid controls should make public idea boards more useful, not less public.

IdeasDiamond keeps basic public boards, ideas, voting, roadmap views, and changelog receipts free. Paid organization features should be bought only when an owner has a real operational need: more reach, official trust, better moderation, analytics, branding, embeds, or private controls.

When to pay

Use free public proof before buying anything.

  1. 1 Start with a narrow public board and 3–7 source-backed starter ideas.
  2. 2 Share the board, widget, or embed where the relevant people already are.
  3. 3 Watch whether votes, duplicate requests, comments, or claim interest appear.
  4. 4 Move at least one idea through a roadmap status and publish a changelog receipt.
  5. 5 Only then request paid controls for the exact bottleneck: reach, trust, moderation, analytics, branding, or private access.

The paid layer, explained plainly.

This is the buyer-facing shape before payments are enabled. It clarifies what people are asking for when they use `/early-access`, and it keeps IdeasDiamond away from vague “premium” upsells.

Reach and promotion

Use when the board already has a clear topic and needs more relevant people to see it.

  • ✓ Featured discovery placement
  • ✓ Category boosts
  • ✓ Campaign cards for launches or civic calls
  • ✓ Simple performance summaries

Promotion should amplify useful public boards, not hide weak boards behind ads.

Verification and trust

Use when a public board is being claimed by an owner, team, maintainer, venue, or institution.

  • ✓ Manual owner verification
  • ✓ Official organization badge
  • ✓ Owner response controls
  • ✓ Clear public claim history

Visitors should know when a board is community-started versus officially operated.

Moderation and quality

Use when idea volume, spam risk, sensitive topics, or duplicate requests start to create noise.

  • ✓ Review queues
  • ✓ Duplicate merge workflow
  • ✓ Keyword / topic controls
  • ✓ Contributor guidance and limits

The public network stays useful only if owners can reduce noise without burying real demand.

Analytics and exports

Use when the organization needs to defend decisions internally or report what the public wants.

  • ✓ Vote and idea trend summaries
  • ✓ Top request exports
  • ✓ Roadmap status movement
  • ✓ Source / embed / widget attribution

Analytics should turn public demand into a decision aid, not a vanity dashboard.

Branding, widgets, and embeds

Use when the board is part of a website, shop, community page, product docs, or campaign hub.

  • ✓ Widget styling
  • ✓ Embed sizing
  • ✓ Custom call-to-action copy
  • ✓ Board-level brand treatment

Owners should be able to invite ideas without making their own website feel patched together.

Private or internal boards

Use only when public visibility is not appropriate: staff ideas, partner feedback, beta groups, or sensitive pilots.

  • ✓ Unlisted boards
  • ✓ Invite-only access
  • ✓ Internal roadmap receipts
  • ✓ Exportable evidence packs

Private controls should complement the public network, not replace the free public idea layer.

Next move

If a control would help, send a specific request.

The early-access builder opens a prefilled email. It does not store lead data in the demo database, and it does not pretend checkout exists. The useful signal is which control group you would actually pay for.
