Before you join

The questions everyone asks.

Straight answers on machines, pricing and what happens after you join.

Do I have to buy a machine to join?
No. You can start with Monthly access to learn and use the tools first. Buying any Smart Cooler through Smart Cooler Supply includes your first year free.
What’s the difference between Monthly and Annual?
Both plans include the same thing: the full training library, the operator apps and the tools. Monthly is $49 for one month. Annual is $349 for one year, about $29 a month, billed once.
What does “Year 1 free” mean?
When you buy any Smart Cooler through Smart Cooler Supply, your first year of the program is included — a $349 value, delivered as a one-time access code. Nothing renews automatically.
Do memberships renew automatically?
No. Both plans are one-time payments. Monthly covers one month and Annual covers one year, and neither rebills, so there is nothing to cancel.
What machines do you carry?
The Vendera line (Core, Atlas and the Arctic freezer; Apex is pre-order, project only) and the HAHA line (Mini, Plus, Pro, Frozen, Max, Ultra and the O-series). HAHA coolers can be bought online; see current models and prices at Smart Cooler Supply.
Do you offer support?
Yes. All members can contact the team for help.
