Plans are chosen by how many 'brands' you connect rather than multiplied per brand: you land in a brand-count band and pay that band's price. A brand is a group of profiles, roughly one account per network.
Starter covers up to 10 brands ($25 a month for 5, $45 for 10; $20 / $36 on annual). Advanced covers up to 50 ($67 / $107 / $210 a month for 15 / 25 / 50 brands; $53 / $85 / $159 on annual). Past 50 brands it's the quote-only Custom plan.
Annual billing saves up to 24% depending on the band.
X (Twitter) is a paid add-on at $5 per connected account on every plan. LinkedIn is included from Starter up but not on the Free plan.
Listed prices exclude VAT, which is added before checkout.
The Free plan is genuine: 1 brand, 20 scheduled posts a month, 5 competitor profiles, and 30 days of analytics, but no LinkedIn or X.
Prices are USD read off the live pricing page, which has a EUR/USD switch and a brand slider and renders client-side. Figures were read with the USD toggle selected, across both billing periods and the brand bands, and cross-checked against current third-party 2026 listings.
