- Annual billing saves up to 24% depending on the band.
- X is a separately charged add-on on eligible paid plans. Free excludes X and LinkedIn; LinkedIn begins on Starter.
- Listed prices exclude VAT, which is added before checkout.
- Current public pricing exposes USD and EUR tariffs for monthly and annual brand bands. Confirm the selected configuration and billing term.
- The Free plan is genuine: 1 brand, 20 actual publications a month, 5 competitor profiles, and 30 days of analytics, but no LinkedIn or X.
