Allora makes an unusually explicit bargain: members pay from $1.99 a month so their attention and data are not the product. The landing page pairs that anti-feed philosophy with concrete promises—readable data exports, two-tap deletion, private accounts, stories, messages, and a founding membership limited to 1,000 people.
