|---|---|---|---|
| Plans | Free Free Seeing whether the analysis is worth paying for. | Free Free Anyone who needs a CRM and basic marketing tools without a budget. | Starter $25/mo, or $18.75/mo billed yearly A creator or small business posting a few times a week. |

Enterprise Custom Brands spending over $1.5M a month. | |||
| Which plan to pick | Start on Free and let the read-only agent audit one account for a fortnight. Copilot is the sweet spot for most small brands, because the analysis is the valuable part and you can make the edits yourself. Go to Operator once you trust its suggestions enough to approve them from your phone. | Run the free CRM for as long as you can; it covers most small businesses. Starter is the sensible first paid step when you want the branding gone and more sends. Only move to Professional when you have a specific automation in mind that will pay for the jump. | Start the 14-day trial on Growth. If you post less than once a day to each account, Starter is enough, but its 30-post cap runs out fast if you post daily. Scale is for agencies juggling several brands. |
