| Which plan to pick | Data-Driven is where the scores start to use your own results, which is the reason to pay for Anyword over a cheaper writer. If you only want an AI copywriter with brand voice, Starter is enough, or use a chat assistant. | Start on Free and build your welcome and abandoned cart flows before you pay anything. Move to Email when you cross 250 contacts, and only add SMS once email is working, because text messages cost extra per send. | Boost is the sweet spot for a business channel posting weekly. Stay on Free until you are publishing regularly, and only take MAX if you would otherwise pay for a separate clipping tool. |
