Plans and Pricing
The key distinction: preview vs. publish
Every plan - including Free - can read, atomize, and preview your pages. Actually publishing to a connected channel starts on the Starter plan. Free is preview-only: it can't connect any social channel.
The plans
| Plan | Annual (per month) | Annual (billed yearly) | Monthly | Workspaces | Connected channels | Page capacity | Distribution credits/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (no card) | - | $0 | 1 | Preview only (0) | 3 pages atomized/mo | - (no publishing) |
| Starter | $59/mo | $708/yr | $69/mo | 1 | 7 accounts | 10 pages | 60 |
| Growth ⭐ most popular | $179/mo | $2,148/yr | $209/mo | 1 | 25 accounts | 30 pages | 180 |
| Scale | $499/mo | $5,988/yr | $584/mo | 3 | 100 accounts | 100 pages | 600 |
Every paid plan can be billed monthly or annually - you choose at checkout. Annual is the better-value option: you pay for the year up front and the effective per-month rate is lower. Monthly is month-to-month with no commitment. Plan limits (channels, page capacity, distribution credits) are identical on both billing intervals - only the price and billing frequency differ.
What's included on every paid plan
Manual posting, cross-posting to multiple platforms, scheduled posting and campaigns, text and image posts, AI post generation, post and page performance analytics, GSC keyword grounding, site-wide SEO crawl insights, a stock image library, and your-own-image uploads.
What is a "distribution credit"?
Generating and distributing a post to a connected channel uses AI, so each paid plan includes a monthly allowance of distribution credits - the number in the table above. This exists purely to keep AI cost bounded.
Lifting the AI-usage caps: BYOK
If you connect your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key (Settings → AI), the Free plan's atomize cap and every paid plan's distribution-credit cap lift entirely, on any plan - your AI cost then goes directly to your own provider instead of being metered by us.
BYOK only lifts the AI-cost caps. Your connected-account limit and page-capacity limit stay in place regardless - those are plan-tier features, not AI cost.
