Choosing the Right Campaign Operating System
Aether is not divided into good, better, and best. Each tier is designed for a different level of campaign maturity, staffing, operational complexity, and coordination pressure.
Every campaign runs on the same core operating system. You begin with the structure your organization needs today, then unlock deeper coordination and command capabilities as the campaign grows.

Build

Ground Campaign OS
For lean, underfunded, volunteer-heavy campaigns that need structure without unnecessary complexity.
What it solves
Small campaigns often run on spreadsheets, text threads, notebooks, and institutional memory. T1 gives the campaign one operational home for organizing people, lists, outreach, field work, print activity, and daily execution.
Why campaigns choose it
The challenge is not managing a complex organization. It is making sure volunteers know what to do, campaign information stays organized, and important work does not disappear between disconnected tools.
Best for
Core capabilities
The structure to run the ground game.
T1 brings the campaign's essential execution workflows into one connected system.
This campaign needs structure, not complexity.
See how Ground Campaign OS can organize your daily operation.
Operational Campaign OS
For growing campaigns with real staff, consultants, finance activity, digital work, integrations, and several operational lanes moving at once.
What it solves
As campaigns grow, the problem shifts from simple organization to connected operations. Finance, field, outreach, digital, print, and leadership need a shared view of what is happening without forcing the campaign into enterprise overhead.
Why campaigns choose it
T2 connects active departments, adds campaign intelligence, supports integrations, and helps leadership understand where execution is moving, slowing, or creating operational pressure.
Best for
Core capabilities
Full campaign operations, connected.
T2 expands the ground operating system into a shared operational layer for the entire campaign.
This campaign has multiple lanes moving at once.
See how Operational Campaign OS connects the work across departments.
Command Campaign OS
For high-scale campaigns where coordination complexity becomes the real operational risk and leadership needs visibility across the organization.
What it solves
Large campaigns do not fail because one person forgot a task. They struggle when departments, leadership layers, information, approvals, and execution pressure stop moving in the same direction.
Why campaigns choose it
T3 adds the command infrastructure required to coordinate the people, departments, signals, decisions, governance, and executive visibility behind a complex political organization.
Best for
Core capabilities
Strategic command behind the operation.
T3 extends connected campaign operations into leadership, governance, and high-scale coordination.
This campaign has coordination complexity.

Every tier runs on the same foundation.
Upgrading Aether never means rebuilding your campaign on a new platform. Your contacts, lists, workflows, dashboards, reporting, and campaign history stay with you.
As the organization grows, Aether simply unlocks the next layer of operational capability—moving the campaign from structure, to coordination, to command.
Included with every tier
One subscription. Your whole campaign team.
Aether pricing is based on the operating system your campaign needs—not the number of people helping you use it. Every Aether organization includes the support and core access needed to get the campaign operational.
Unlimited Users
Add the campaign staff, volunteers, and authorized team members you need. Aether does not charge per seat.
No Setup Fees
Organization setup is included with your subscription. We do not charge an additional fee just to get your campaign started.
No Implementation Fees
Initial onboarding, data-import assistance, integration assistance, and implementation support are included.
Dedicated Account Manager
Every organization receives a dedicated Team Aether account manager who remains available throughout the campaign for technical needs, onboarding, integrations, data imports, account configuration, and Aether-related support.
Aether Mobile Included
Authorized members of your Aether organization can sign into Aether Mobile without a separate mobile subscription or per-user mobile charge.
Google Routes Included
Supported Google Routes usage is included with Aether. Team Aether handles the underlying Routes infrastructure so campaigns do not need to establish and manage separate Google Maps Platform billing just to use Aether routing.
Third-party campaign costs
Campaign expenses incurred through external services remain the campaign's responsibility. Aether can connect with supported third-party platforms and organize their data, but your subscription does not include advertising spend or other paid products purchased directly from those providers.
Between Campaigns
Keep the campaign history you already built.
When your Aether subscription ends, you can keep your campaign's data safely stored with Team Aether for $5 per month. Your contacts, lists, workflows, reporting, and campaign history can remain in place until you're ready for the next campaign.
Full means full. Aether's Full Data Export provides the organization's saved Aether data in portable CSV form—not merely a simplified contacts export. Campaigns can take their complete campaign-owned operational data with them before the post-subscription retention period expires.
Still not sure which tier fits?
Every campaign operates differently. We will walk through your staffing, departments, goals, timeline, and operational pressure, then recommend the tier that honestly fits your organization.
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Simple. Fair. No Surprises.
Campaigns should have enough time to determine whether Aether is the right fit for their operation. Our refund policy is designed to provide that flexibility while keeping billing simple and predictable.
Days 1–7 — Full Refund
During your first 7 days of Aether service, you may request a full refund of your first monthly payment.
Days 8–14 — 50% Refund
Between days 8 and 14 of your first month of Aether service, you may request a refund equal to 50% of your first monthly payment.
After Day 14 — No Refund
Beginning on day 15, monthly subscription payments are non-refundable.
After your first month, monthly payments are non-refundable once charged. You may cancel at any time, and your Aether service will remain available through the end of your current paid billing period. Your subscription will not renew for another month.
First 30 Days — Full Refund
During your first 30 days of Aether service, you may request a full refund of your annual subscription.
We want campaigns choosing an annual subscription to have enough time to actually use Aether before committing to the year.
After 30 Days — Prorated Refund
After the initial 30-day period, you may request cancellation and a prorated refund for the remaining full, unused months of your annual subscription.
When cancellation is requested, Team Aether will provide the effective end date of your service. Your campaign will retain access to Aether through that date, and any complete unused months remaining afterward will be refunded.
Example
If a campaign with a 12-month subscription requests cancellation during Month 6 and its service ends during Month 7, Months 1–7 remain paid and Months 8–12 are refunded. The campaign would receive a refund equal to 5 months of its annual subscription.
Partial months are not refundable. Annual prorated refunds are calculated using the complete unused months remaining after the effective cancellation date.
Monthly
During your first 7 days, you may request a full refund. During days 8–14, you may request a 50% refund. After that, a paid month is a paid month.
Annual
Try Aether for your first 30 days. If it is not right for your campaign, you may request a full refund. After 30 days, you may request a refund for the remaining full unused months after your service ends.
