# Pricing

TheContentForge is available on three standard plans and a Custom tier. Every paid plan includes the core product; limits, support, onboarding, and approval workflow depth scale with your team.

**Pro is the flagship plan** and is the right choice for most social teams.

**Quarterly billing saves 1 month** on every standard tier: pay once upfront, get 3 months of access for the price of 2.

**Founders pricing:** the first 25 founding teams in Q2 get discounted pricing of $400/$800/$1,200 monthly or $800/$1,600/$2,400 quarterly.

## Plan messaging

**Starter** - For small teams getting their workflow under control.

**Pro** - For serious social teams that publish consistently and want better signal, testing, approval, and brand control.

**Enterprise** - For larger teams, multi-brand operations, and orgs that need onboarding, deeper approvals, and more scale.

**Custom** - For organisations with specific requirements, non-standard team structures, or bespoke deployment needs. Contact <support@thecontentforge.io>.

### How social profile limits work

The social limit counts active social profiles, not raw OAuth connections. A profile counts when **Track** or **Publish** is enabled. Parked profiles with both toggles off stay connected but do not count.

### How video and document limits work

Video upload and document parsing limits are enforced per org. Source video assets are pruned according to the source-video retention window, while transcripts remain available for 60 days after upload. URL loading and screenshot extraction share the URL/screenshot parsing limit.

## Billing

* Plans are billed **monthly in advance** and renew automatically, or **quarterly in advance** with 1 month free
* Founders-pricing discount currently applies to both monthly and quarterly standard plans for the founders cohort
* All fees are in USD
* Plan changes (upgrades or downgrades) are handled by contacting <support@thecontentforge.io>
* Upgrades are prorated; downgrades apply from the next billing cycle
* Quarterly plans that downgrade mid-term are credited against the remaining period; refunds follow the Terms of Service
* Subscription fees are non-refundable; see the [Terms of Service](/thecontentforge-docs/legal/terms-of-service.md) for full billing terms

## Pricing FAQ

### What happens if I exceed a plan limit?

You will be prompted to upgrade before the limit is enforced. TheContentForge does not silently cut off access without notice.

### Is there a free trial?

There is no self-serve free trial. Contact <support@thecontentforge.io> to discuss a scoped evaluation for your team.
