Yes — fully free during open beta, no card required. Pricing kicks in later this year (we'll give you plenty of warning).

A lot of platforms in this space summarize books that other people wrote. We don't.

Tell BrainList when you listen — your commute, your gym block, your dog walk, your wind-down. Every Monday a fresh playlist lands, sized to that window and tuned to what you've been into. No more scrolling for what to play. The time is already on your calendar — we just fill it well.
