Benefits
What Pioneer Pass unlocks.
- 7×7 check-in grid instead of the standard 5×5 range.
- 12 hours of 20× passive earnings after one ad, usable twice per day. This is added to the regular free and ad boosts.
- One free custom referral code, such as TM-GOLDRUSH, with one free change per month. Your regular referral code continues to work.
- Premium TerraMine Calculator access on the official website.
- Merchandise discounts and future Pioneer perks when released.
The subscription does not change the mine probabilities or guarantee a profit. Property purchases and mini-games remain available to free players.

Price and billing
Choose monthly or yearly billing on the official website.
The official price is $9.99 per month or $100 per year, which TerraMine presents as roughly 17% cheaper than paying monthly. The website currently processes Pioneer Pass through PayPal.
You can cancel through PayPal at any time. Your benefits remain active until the end of the period already paid for. If you cancel, you keep your custom referral code, but changing it later costs the normal 5,000 TB.

iPhone update · October 8, 2026
Why Pioneer perks are not yet visible on iPhone.
According to Scott’s October 8 update, Apple rejected the latest iOS build because features unlocked inside an iPhone app must be sold through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Pioneer Pass is currently sold through PayPal on TerraMine’s website.
TerraMine is resubmitting the general update with Pioneer perks disabled on iPhone so other fixes can be released. An Apple in-app subscription is being built next. TerraMine then plans to make the in-app perks available to existing Pioneers who paid through PayPal, but no release date has been announced.
What still works
Android, the website and Calculator are not affected.
- Android: all Pioneer perks continue to work normally.
- iPhone: the 7×7 check-in range, 12-hour Pioneer Boost and free vanity code are temporarily absent from the app.
- Outside the app: website benefits and official Calculator access remain available on both platforms.
If Android perks do not appear after subscribing, update the app, fully close it and reopen it before contacting TerraMine support.
Decision guide
Who benefits most from Pioneer Pass?
The pass is most useful for active players who maintain their boost daily, make frequent check-ins or want a memorable referral code. The 12-hour sessions reduce the number of ads needed to keep a long boost window.
Before subscribing, compare the recurring price with the value you personally receive. Pioneer Pass improves convenience and coverage; it does not guarantee that your mine earnings will exceed the subscription cost.
