A: Thank you, and good catch! You're right: the plan card is wrong. It shows our Free-edition limits under the $49 plan, and we've asked AppSumo to correct it. The deal is Atlas Red Pro, the same license we sell for $99 on atlas-red.com:

- Unlimited maps, 5,000 topics per map, 5 GB storage
- Every export format (Markdown, OPML, XMindMark, JSON, PNG/SVG/PDF, an interactive web page, slides), never gated
- ChatGPT and Claude via MCP, included and never metered
- AI import: $1 trial credit, then your own AI key with no markup, or prepaid credit packs

Compared with Whimsical: Whimsical is a tidy general workspace. Mind maps are one document type alongside flowcharts, wireframes and docs, and it's priced per editor per month. Atlas Red only does mind maps, and goes deeper in three places:

1. Getting material in. A PDF, Word doc, whiteboard photo, recording or YouTube link becomes a structured map where every topic is editable, not a flat image.
2. Getting it out. Every map exports in every format, on every plan.
3. Paying once. It's a single purchase, not a subscription.

On MCP, your assistant works on your actual maps: it can create, restructure, import, export and undo. That doesn't use our AI credits, because your own assistant does the thinking. If you mainly need flowcharts and wireframes next to your maps, Whimsical is a good choice. If your maps start from documents and meetings and need to end up somewhere else, that's what we built Atlas Red for.
