Free tier

Set the limits, features and networks that apply to users without a plan while SaaS Business is on, under Finance, Free tier.

The free tier is what a user gets when no plan applies to them. That covers new sign-ups, people whose subscription expired or was cancelled, and people who only bought a prepaid credit pack. You set it under Finance → Free tier. The page subtitle describes it as the limits and features that apply to users without a plan while billing is on.

The free tier only matters while SaaS Business is switched on. With billing off, nobody is limited. Admin accounts are never limited either.

Edit the free tier

1. Open the page

   Go to Finance → Free tier. You can also reach it from the General tab of General Settings, which links to it when billing is on.

2. Set the AI features

   Switch AI writing and AI media on or off for users without a plan.

3. Set the publishing limits

   Fill in Connected channels, Posts per month, Posts scheduled ahead and Media storage. Each has an Unlimited switch, and media storage takes MB or GB. A value of 0 shows as Not included.

4. Set team options

   Team seats is how many members a user without a plan can add to their team, not counting themselves. Approval workflow makes posts by those team members wait for the owner’s approval before they are scheduled.

5. Choose the networks

   Under Networks, tick the networks users without a plan can use. Leave all unticked to allow every network enabled on the Platforms page. See Channel credentials.

6. Set feature access

   Switch Analytics, API and webhooks, RSS feeds, Bulk CSV import, Recurring and evergreen posts and Watermark-free as you need.

7. Save

   Click Save free tier. The message Free tier updated successfully confirms it.

The limits, switches and network picker work exactly as they do on the plan form. Their meanings, maximum values and what each limit counts are listed in Subscription plans. The Watermark-free switch only takes effect once a watermark is set in Publishing settings.

​

Credits for users without a plan

The free tier has no credit setting. New accounts created through the registration form receive the number you set as Default Registration Credits in General Settings. A user who signs up with a social login starts with 0 credits. See Credits and allowances.

Users without a plan can use AI writing and AI media only when the matching free tier switch is on. Each run also needs enough credits whenever the model’s cost per run is above 0.
