Pricing

Most of Temperament is free to open, explore, and install as an app, right now, at this address. Buying unlocks the rest.

Studio
$150
per year

For one teacher's studio. Delivered as a single classroom access link — nothing to install, nothing for your school's IT to review. The right to assign it on a syllabus and distribute the link to your enrolled students. A syllabus map pairing each section of the app to the weeks of a standard theory sequence.

Institution
from $1,200
per year

For multiple departments or a whole school of music. Scaled to enrollment, with a session for each program.

Get in touch — from $1,200/yr
Founding programs, year one. The first five departments to sign for the 2026–27 year pay half, in exchange for a conversation at the end of each semester about what students actually used and what they ignored.
