Credit-based pricing

Pricing built for solo founders and small teams.

Every plan ships with the full toolset: AI calendar, reels, carousels, scheduling, analytics. Pay only for the credits you use. No seat tax, no per-channel fees.

SocialCTL costs $30 to $99 per month: Starter $30/mo (60 credits), Growth $49/mo (200 credits), Scale $99/mo (500 credits). A credit is the unit of AI work: a reel costs 30 credits, a carousel 20, a static post 10. Buy one-off credit packs any time, cancel any time, and credits are refunded automatically for generations that fail before they ship.

Reprompt

2 credits

A month in practice

Growth grants 200 credits. That covers 2 reels (60 cr) + 3 carousels (60 cr) + 8 static posts (80 cr).

Day re-roll 1 credit · Full calendar regenerate 15 · YouTube video 20

Failed generations automatically refund the credit. Admins can tune per-action costs in their workspace.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is one credit, exactly?
Credits are the universal unit of AI work. A reel costs 30 credits, a YouTube video 20, a carousel 20, a static post 10. Reprompting a video costs 2. The credit cost is shown before every generation so there are no surprises.
Do credits roll over month to month?
Plan credits refresh on your billing date and unused plan credits don't roll over. One-time credit packs you buy on top of your plan never expire as long as your account is active.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime from the billing portal. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle.
Is there a free trial?
You can build a full sample calendar at /try with no signup. Once you sign up, every plan starts with the credits listed; there is no separate trial period.
What if generation fails?
Failed generations are automatically refunded to your credit balance. We never charge for placeholder or broken output.
Do you accept all credit cards?
Yes: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. All payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your card number.
What if I need more than 500 credits?
Stack top-up packs onto any plan, or talk to us about a custom Scale+ tier with bulk-discounted credits and SLA guarantees.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the billing portal and you keep access until the end of your current billing period. No "talk to sales" exit interview. Our full refund policy is at /refund-policy.
Do you offer non-profit or student discounts?
Yes. Registered non-profits and verified students get 30% off any plan. Email [email protected] with your verification.
How does multi-tenant (Scale) work?
Each client gets a fully isolated workspace with its own brand kit, calendar, social accounts, and credit pool. Switch between them in one click.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Prompts and generated content are sent to AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Google) under their API terms, which exclude API data from training. Read our privacy policy for details.
