The whole economics of this project, on one page, updated whenever a number changes.

What Drazil costs to run

Thing	Cost, per month
Hosting — Cloudflare Pages (static site, unlimited bandwidth)	$0
Package mirror — Cloudflare Worker streaming TeX Live 2025 (free tier)	$0
Analytics — Cloudflare's cookieless beacon (Pages injects it)	$0
Domain	~$1
Your AI, if you use one	Yours to choose — local Ollama is free
Your hardware, for local models and exports	Already yours

Total today: about $1 a month, paid by the builder. Not a rounding error — an actual dollar.

Why there is no tip jar (yet)

A jar that collects for nothing is marketing, not support. Drazil's costs are $0–1 a month, so asking for money today would be asking for a feeling, not a fund. This page will change the moment that is no longer true — for example if optional, end-to-end encrypted sync ships and needs paid infrastructure, or if a dedicated domain replaces the free one and costs real money. When it changes, the changelog will say so in public.

What actually helps right now

• Use it, and tell someone. The honest kind of growth: a student who got a typeset PDF at 2 a.m. without making an account.
• Report what breaks. [email protected] — a one-line reproduction beats a paragraph of praise.
• Send the awkward files. The formatting torture tests shaped half the engines here. If a document defeats Drazil, that document is a gift.
• Read the changelog and hold the project to it.

What will never be sold

Your files, your notes, your keys, your attention. There is no plan for ads, no plan for selling data, no plan for a "premium" that ransom-notes the free tools. If a paid tier ever exists it will be for infrastructure you choose, clearly labelled, like the optional encrypted sync sketched in the roadmap — never for holding what already works hostage.
