Subscription plans

Create and edit plans under Finance, Pricing Plans: plan types, pricing, AI credits, limits, features, networks and how plans sync with payment gateways.

A plan is what a customer buys. It sets the price, the AI credits, the limits, the features and the networks that customer can use. You manage plans under Finance → Pricing Plans. This page covers plans of type Monthly, Yearly and Lifetime. Prepaid plans use the same form and are covered in Prepaid plans.

Plans exist only while SaaS Business is switched on. Decide what users get without a plan on the Free tier page.

​

The plans list

Open Finance → Pricing Plans. The page title is Plans and shows the total number of pricing plans.

Column	Meaning
Plan Name	The name customers see.
Active Subscribers	How many active subscriptions the plan has.
Status	Active, Hidden or Closed.
Price	The price with the currency symbol.
Plan Type	Monthly, Yearly, Lifetime or Prepaid.
Featured	A check mark when the plan is featured.
Created	The creation date.

You can search, sort, filter by Status, and show or hide columns. Each row has Edit and Delete actions. Use the table’s reorder control to drag plans into the order you want. Users see plans on their Billing page in that order, then by price. The home page pricing section orders active plans by price.

​

​

General

Field	What it does
Plan name	Required. The name subscribers see on the pricing page, at checkout and on their billing page. Between 1 and 255 characters.
Description	A short tagline shown with the plan on the pricing, billing and checkout pages. The plan card on the Billing page cuts it at 80 characters.
Status	Required. Active plans can be bought. Hidden plans can only be assigned by an admin. Closed plans are no longer offered.
Featured	Highlights the plan above the others on the pricing page. Featured plans carry a Most popular tag.

Closing a plan stops new sales. It does not take the plan away from people who already have it.

​

Pricing

Field	What it does
Plan type	Required. Monthly and Yearly plans renew automatically each billing cycle. Lifetime and Prepaid plans are one-time payments with no automatic renewal.
Price	Required. What a subscriber pays each billing cycle, or once for Lifetime and Prepaid plans. Zero or more, with two decimals.
Currency	Required. The currency subscribers are charged in. Each plan has its own currency.
Free plan	Subscribers can sign up to this plan without paying.
Free trial days	Subscribers are not charged until the trial days run out. Leave it blank for no trial. Accepts 0 to 65,535.

A plan marked Free plan is activated from the Billing page without a payment even if its price is above zero. Set Price to 0 on free plans.

Free trial days are passed to Stripe as the trial period of the subscription. The other gateways do not read this field, so a trial is only honored when the customer pays with Stripe.

​

How long access lasts

Plan type	Access period after a payment
Monthly	One month. The gateway’s renewal charge extends it.
Yearly	One year. The gateway’s renewal charge extends it.
Lifetime	50 years from the purchase date.
Prepaid	Not applicable. Prepaid plans do not create a subscription.

Only gateway renewal charges extend a Monthly or Yearly period. A free plan, a plan assigned from Subscriptions, and a bank transfer order get a single period. When it ends, the user falls back to the free tier. Choose Lifetime for free or assigned plans that should not lapse.

​

AI credits

Field	What it does
AI credits	Required. The credits a subscriber on this plan receives to spend on AI. Accepts -1 to 1,000,000. Use -1 for unlimited credits.

Credits on Monthly, Yearly and Lifetime plans are renewed on a monthly basis. Unused monthly allowance does not carry over. Credits are spent on AI writing and AI media runs, at the cost per run set on the Writing Models and Media Models pages. See AI models and Credits and allowances.

​

AI features

Switch	What it does
AI writing	Lets subscribers write, rewrite and translate captions with AI and use hashtag and alt-text suggestions and brand voices.
AI media	Lets subscribers generate images and videos with AI in the Media Studio.

​

Publishing limits

Each limit has a number box and an Unlimited switch. The text next to the box previews the result, for example Unlimited or Not included. A value of 0 means the plan does not include that capability.

Limit	What it counts	Highest value
Connected channels	How many social accounts a subscriber can have connected at once.	1,000
Posts per month	Posts created in the current calendar month. A post that went out still counts after it is deleted. Recurring series count by their occurrences, not by the series itself.	1,000,000
Posts scheduled ahead	Posts that are scheduled, waiting for approval or paused at the same time.	100,000
Media storage	How much space the files in the subscriber’s media library can take up. Pick MB or GB next to the box.	10,485,760 MB, which is 10,240 GB

​

Workspace and team

Field	What it does
Team seats	How many members a subscriber can add to their team, not counting themselves. Highest value 1,000. At 0 the Teams feature is not available on the plan.
Approval workflow	Posts by a subscriber’s team members wait for the owner’s approval before they are scheduled.

See Teams for how owners and members use this.

​

Networks

Allowed networks controls which social networks subscribers can use. Subscribers can use only the ticked networks, or every network enabled on the Platforms page when none is ticked. A network that you later disable on that page stays listed with the note Disabled on the Platforms page. See Channel credentials.

​

Feature access

Switch	What it does
Analytics	Opens the Analytics page, the analytics panels on the dashboard and the analytics API endpoint.
API and webhooks	Lets subscribers create API keys and webhook endpoints and use the REST API.
RSS feeds	Lets subscribers add RSS feeds whose new items become posts.
Bulk CSV import	Lets subscribers create many posts at once by importing a CSV file.
Recurring and evergreen posts	Lets subscribers repeat posts on a schedule and recycle evergreen posts.
Watermark-free	Images from subscribers on this plan go out without the watermark set in Publishing Settings. Takes effect once a watermark is set in Publishing settings.

​

Custom features

Custom features are extra perks listed with the plan on the pricing page. They grant nothing on their own.

1. Type the perk

   Enter text in Custom feature, for example a support promise.

2. Add it

   Click Add or press Enter. Each entry appears below as a tag with a remove button.

You can add up to 50 custom features of up to 255 characters each. Duplicates are ignored, whatever their capitalization.

​

Limits that plans do not control

A few caps are fixed for every user, whatever plan they have.

Item	Cap per user
RSS feeds	20
API keys	10
Webhook endpoints	10
Brand voices	20
Rows read from one CSV import	200

​

Edit a plan

1. Open the plan

   On the plans list, open the actions for the plan and choose Edit. The plan’s ID appears under the heading.

2. Change the fields

   The form is the same as for a new plan.

3. Save

   Click Save changes. The message Pricing plan updated successfully confirms it.

Limits, features, networks and credits are read from the plan whenever MagicPost checks what a subscriber may do. A change therefore applies to every current subscriber straight away.

If your change makes a plan stricter, a Tighten this plan? dialog opens first. It shows how many subscribers are affected and lists the controls that get tighter: a lower limit, a feature switched off, or fewer allowed networks. Existing work keeps running and nothing is deleted. A subscriber who is already over a lowered limit can add no more of that kind until usage falls below it. Click Save anyway to continue or Cancel to go back. The dialog does not appear when nobody is on the plan.

​

Gateway plan IDs

The plan form has no fields for gateway plan or product IDs. MagicPost creates the matching product, price or plan at the payment gateway itself.

• The first time a customer starts a Monthly or Yearly subscription through a gateway, MagicPost creates the gateway-side plan and stores its ID.
• If you change the plan’s name, price, currency or type, the next checkout creates a fresh price at the gateway. On Stripe the old price is archived first.
• Which gateways appear at checkout depends on the plan type. Monthly and Yearly plans use gateways enabled for subscriptions. Lifetime and Prepaid plans use gateways enabled for one-time plans. See Payment gateways.

To create or refresh gateway plans ahead of time, run the sync command on the server. It covers active plans with a price above zero.

All gateways

php artisan payments:sync-plans

Replace PLAN_ID with the ID shown on the Edit Plan page. The command prints the gateway-side ID for each plan, or the error when a gateway fails. Stripe and Paddle are synced for every paid plan, including Lifetime and Prepaid. The other gateways are synced for Monthly and Yearly plans only.

​

Delete a plan

Open the row actions and choose Delete, then confirm. A plan that has subscription records cannot be deleted, because the database blocks it. Set its Status to Closed instead.

​

What customers see

Active plans appear on the home page pricing section and on the Billing page, grouped by plan type. The plan card lists a What’s included summary built from the plan: credits, every limit above 0, every feature that is on, the allowed networks and your custom features. A plan with Free plan on or a price of 0 is shown with a Free tag and the Get started button.
