Commitment contracts are one of the most studied motivation tools in behavioral science. We made one you can hold in your hand.
12 gym sessions this month. 50 miles of running. 20 yoga classes. Your goal, your pace.
$5 to $200, charged when your challenge starts, plus a small service fee (none on your first challenge). The more it stings, the better it works.
Your workouts verify automatically through Apple Health, from your watch or your phone. No watch? Check in at your gym and GPS confirms you're really there. No photos, no honor system.
Hit your goal → your full stake refunded. Miss it → your stake is kept, and your accountability partner gets a reward from Ante for holding you to it.
Everything is verified server-side. Nobody can cheat, including you.
Synced from Apple Health and checked against anti-cheat rules: duration, heart rate, GPS distance. Gym check-ins need your phone at the gym when you check in and again 20 minutes later. Manual entries don't count.
Commit to the same goal as a group and keep each other accountable. Everyone who finishes gets their full stake back. Each person's stake is their own: your result depends only on your own workouts, never on anyone else, and nobody ever receives another member's money.
Pick a friend before you start. Finish and nothing happens. Miss it and Ante sends them a reward for keeping you honest.
Premium members get personalized analysis of their real training data: what's working, what's sabotaging them, and what to do next.
Daily streaks, XP, levels, and leaderboards with your friends. Money is the stick. This is the carrot.
All payments handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. Refunds are automatic the moment you finish.
No. Ante is a commitment contract: there is no chance involved and no opponent. The outcome is determined 100% by your own workouts. If you finish, you get your own stake back, and no one ever receives another user's stake. You must be 18+ to use Ante.
Your full stake is refunded to your card automatically. The small service fee you paid when the challenge started is not refunded. Refunds typically appear in 5–10 business days.
Your stake is forfeited, and the accountability partner you named gets a reward from Ante: $40 on a $50 stake, paid by us, not passed through from you. Nothing is final for 72 hours, so if a workout didn't sync or you were injured, you can dispute it and get your money back. You pick who benefits from your failure before you start, which is exactly why you won't fail.
You can try. Workouts are verified server-side against Apple Health data with anti-cheat rules for duration, heart rate, distance, and timing. Gym check-ins only count if your phone is at your gym when you check in and when you check out, at least 20 minutes later. Manual entries are rejected. Accounts caught cheating are banned.
$19.99/year or $4.99/month. The yearly plan includes $10 of stake credit up front. Either plan gets you the AI Coach, a free streak freeze every month, a stats dashboard, and unlimited simultaneous challenges.
No, though it works better with one. If nobody you know is on Ante yet you can commit on your own. Your stake is simply forfeited if you miss, and nobody is paid. Naming an accountability partner is the better version: someone knows what you committed to, and they get a reward from us if you fall short.
Set a goal, commit what it's worth to you, and find out how much difference that makes.
