Pricing

Attribute	GoMarble	Later
Plans	Free Free Seeing whether the analysis is worth paying for.	Starter $25/mo, or $18.75/mo billed yearly A creator or small business posting a few times a week.
	CopilotOur pick $139/mo Brands that want analysis and reports but will make changes themselves.	GrowthOur pick $50/mo, or $37.50/mo billed yearly Businesses posting daily or managing a second brand.
	Operator $399/mo Teams that want agents to make approved changes in live accounts.	Scale $110/mo, or $82.50/mo billed yearly Agencies and teams running several brands.
	Scale $799/mo Agencies and larger brands with many accounts.
	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.	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.
