Plans
Solo and Team trials require a payment method but charge nothing until the trial
ends. The Free plan needs no card and doesn’t expire. Free-plan changelogs include
a small “Powered by Shipstar” badge.

How credits work
Credits are consumed by content generation only. API requests — reading content, managing mailing lists, publishing, everything else — are free and unmetered (rate limits still apply). Each generation charges a fixed cost based on the content type, at the moment the generation is queued:
On the Free plan’s 1,000 credits, that’s roughly 10 long-form pieces or 40
social posts a month.
Billing periods and resets
Credits reset monthly on your billing anchor day — the day of the month you signed up (capped at the 28th). Unused credits don’t roll over.Where usage is metered
Credits belong to the team that owns the project, not to individual users:- On Free and Solo, that’s your own team’s allowance.
- On Team, all members draw from one pooled allowance (50,000 × seats). Any member can use any share of the pool.
When credits run out
- API and dashboard generation requests return
402 Payment Required— see error handling for the response shape. - Scheduled generation (calendar events) skips occurrences while the team is out of credits and resumes automatically after the next reset.
- Everything else keeps working: published content stays live, and you can still review, edit, approve, and publish existing drafts.
Checking your usage
The dashboard sidebar shows a live credit meter, and Account → Plan shows credits used, remaining, and the next reset date. Programmatically:The Team plan
Inviting team members
Inviting team members
Any team member can invite others by email from the Team page — the
invitee doesn’t need an existing account and can use any email address
(personal domains included). Invitations expire after 7 days and can be
resent. Pending invitations count against your seats until accepted or
revoked.
Seats and proration
Seats and proration
The Team plan has a 2-seat minimum. The team owner can add or remove seats
at any time from the Team page; billing is prorated automatically through
Stripe. You can’t reduce seats below current members plus pending
invitations.
Owner vs. member permissions
Owner vs. member permissions
Every member can generate content, review and approve drafts, and invite
others. Only the team owner can revoke invitations, remove members, manage
seats, and change billing.
Content review across the team
Content review across the team
When content is ready for review, every team member is notified by email
(each person can opt out in their notification preferences), and any member
can approve or edit it before it publishes.
What happens if the Team subscription ends
What happens if the Team subscription ends
Members keep their team membership but fall back to their own plan’s
allowance, and invitations are paused. Re-subscribing restores everything —
no one is removed from the team.
