Release Prism 1.0.0: turn your members' taste for their profile into recurring revenue

[Gwendal]

Most forums pay their bills in one of three ways nobody enjoys: a donation button, ads, or a wall around the good threads. Prism is a fourth way. It sells what your members already spend time on, the way they look here, and it never closes a discussion to do it.

What a member sees​

A profile with a nebula drifting behind the cards, stars crossing the banner and a crown on the avatar. Then the same member in a thread: a nameplate, a decoration, a name in its own font and colour, a badge that climbs the longer they stay. The member card carries it too. Everyone reading sees what a plan looks like, and the page that sells it is one click away.

What you get on day one​

• Two native plans, monthly and yearly, on XenForo account upgrades, with names and prices you choose.
• 101 catalogue items: animated banners, full-page backdrops, nameplates, decorations, effects, themes, name styles and profile widgets, plus your own artwork from the Admin CP.
• Personal touches: personal emojis, super reactions, a personal site theme, alert sounds, saved outfits and Surprise me.
• Growth: gifts, gift codes, trial passes, and tenure, Founder and Patron badges.
• A Getting started page that reads the real state of your forum and shows what is left before members can buy.
• 18 feature families you can switch off one by one if you only want part of it.

What I want you to know​

This is version 1.0.0 and Prism has no customers yet, so there is no review to show you. The purchase, refund, expiry, gift, code and trial flows are tested end to end against a simulated payment provider, not yet through a live PayPal or Stripe account: put one small real purchase through yourself before you announce it. It has not been tested next to another add-on that styles profiles, and any family that overlaps can be turned off. You set your own payment method and prices, and your terms of sale and legal obligations remain yours.

Where to find it​

• Prism in the store: 49 EUR for a single site, twelve months of updates and support included.
• Try it on the demo board: log in as demo / demo2026 and dress your own profile. No payment is taken on the demo.
• Studio members will find it in their account.

Questions and first impressions are welcome in the Prism forum.
