What are PostSnag's plans and pricing?

PostSnag has three plans: Free, Pro, and Lifetime. Free $0, Pro $19 per month, Lifetime $139 one-time. Free opens most of the dashboard, Overview, Posts, Compare, Groups, Bookmarks, and Folders, plus each profile's and group's own Analytics tab; Discovery and PostSnag MCP are reserved for Pro and Lifetime. On the Free plan you get 3 profile scans and 2 group scans in any rolling 7-day window, and each scan previews the first 30 posts in your dashboard. Pro and Lifetime both come with a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.

This article covers what each plan includes, what stays identical no matter which one you're on, and how to decide between them. You can see and change your plan anytime from Settings > Plans & pricing in your dashboard.

Free: $0

Free costs nothing, needs no credit card, and never expires. You can stay on it indefinitely. It includes:

• The Chrome extension, with the panel that captures posts live as you scroll a profile, a Page, or a group.

• 3 profile scans and 2 group scans in any rolling 7-day window. Once you've used your scans for the window, you need to upgrade to scan another profile or group before it refills.

• A 30-post preview on each scan. Your dashboard shows a scanned profile's first 30 posts normally; the rest are blurred behind a subscribe or upgrade wall until you upgrade. A profile or group scanned beyond that week's allowance is still saved, but locked until you upgrade.

• Most of the dashboard, where every profile and group you scan lands: Overview, Posts, Compare, Groups, Bookmarks, and Folders. Discovery and PostSnag MCP are the two things that need Pro or Lifetime.

Free suits trying PostSnag out or doing occasional, light research: a handful of profiles here and there, a quick read on a competitor, or testing whether the workflow fits before committing to a paid plan.

Pro: $19/month

Pro bills $19 to your card every month and renews until you cancel. Compared to Free, it removes the caps:

• No weekly scan limit. Scan as many profiles, Pages, creator accounts, and Facebook Groups as you want.

• No 30-post preview. A profile's full post history gets captured and is visible on each scan, nothing blurred.

• Discovery included, PostSnag's caption and hook pattern engine.

• Every scan saved for good, so nothing you capture disappears or needs to be recaptured later because it hit a limit.

• AI-ready exports, covering your complete capture instead of just the 30-post preview. The Export menu has three options: Download data for AI (a Markdown file and a CSV file together), Download media for AI (a .zip of the images and videos), and Download Data & Media for AI (a .zip with both).

• PostSnag MCP. PostSnag MCP is included with Pro and Lifetime. It lets Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or Perplexity read the profiles, posts, and groups you've already captured, so you can ask questions in the chat instead of exporting a file first. See What is PostSnag MCP, and what can I ask my AI?

• Priority email support.

Pro fits ongoing, regular use: agencies and marketers tracking a set of profiles and groups continuously, or creators scanning new profiles often enough that the weekly limit gets in the way.

Lifetime: $139 one time

Lifetime includes everything Pro does, for a single payment that never renews:

• Everything listed under Pro, with no scan limits, preview limits, or MCP gating.

• One-time payment, price locked at today's rate even as PostSnag adds features later.

• All future features included at no extra cost.

• Priority email support.

Lifetime is the plan for anyone who already knows they'll use PostSnag long-term. There's no card to keep on file, no renewal date to track, and nothing about what you get changes later.

What's the same across every plan

The dashboard works the same on every plan, including Free, apart from Discovery and PostSnag MCP: the same Overview home screen, Posts command center, Compare (lining up to three profiles side by side), Bookmarks, and Folders, plus each profile's and each group's own Analytics tab. Discovery, the pattern engine that surfaces the caption and hook patterns working across the creators you track, and PostSnag MCP, the connector that lets an AI platform read your captured library, are both reserved for Pro and Lifetime; neither appears on Free. The Export menu works the same on every plan, though on Free, Download data for AI needs Pro or Lifetime, and every option only covers whatever's unlocked in your dashboard.

Paid plans don't unlock a long list of new sections; they remove the weekly scan limit and the 30-post preview, and add Discovery and PostSnag MCP. Comparing Free to Pro or Lifetime really comes down to volume and whether you need Discovery or MCP, not which parts of PostSnag you're allowed to open.

How billing works

Pro and Lifetime checkout both run through Lemon Squeezy, PostSnag's payment processor and merchant of record. PostSnag never sees or stores your full card details. Pro renews automatically every month until you cancel; Lifetime is a single charge with nothing left to bill afterward. Cancel any time from Settings, in the Subscription section, or through the customer-portal link in your Lemon Squeezy receipt or renewal email, or by emailing support@postsnag.com. See How do billing and renewals work? for the full mechanics, and How do I cancel my PostSnag subscription? for the exact steps.

The 14-day money-back guarantee

Both Pro and Lifetime come with a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first payment, no explanation required. Request it by emailing support@postsnag.com within 14 days of paying, and it's refunded to your original payment method. The 14-day money-back guarantee covers your first payment only; renewals aren't covered by it, but you can still email support@postsnag.com and ask, and PostSnag will look at it, with no promise. See What is the refund policy, and how do I request a refund? for the full policy.

Which plan should I choose?

Start with Free if you're not sure yet. Scan a few profiles and see how close you come to the weekly scan limit and the 30-post preview. If you're already hitting them, Pro or Lifetime is next, and the real question becomes which of those two, which comes down to how long you expect to keep using PostSnag, not which has more features, since Pro and Lifetime are identical on that front. See Pro or Lifetime: which plan should I choose? for the full breakdown, including when Lifetime pays for itself.

Common questions

Do I need a credit card to try PostSnag?

No. The Free plan costs $0, needs no card, and doesn't expire.

Does Free have fewer dashboard features than Pro or Lifetime?

Almost everything is the same. Free gets the same Overview, Posts, Compare, Groups, Bookmarks, and Folders. Discovery and PostSnag MCP are reserved for Pro and Lifetime, and Free's scans are capped at 3 profile scans and 2 group scans a week, with a 30-post preview.

What happens when I hit the Free plan's limits?

Used your weekly profile scans, the panel shows a notice and links you to upgrade. Past 30 posts on a scanned profile, the dashboard blurs the rest behind a subscribe or upgrade wall. See What's included in the Free plan? for exactly what that looks like.

Is there a team or agency plan?

Not yet. See Do you offer team or agency pricing? for the current answer and how to reach PostSnag about multiple seats.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

Yes, within 14 days of your first payment on either Pro or Lifetime. Renewals after that aren't automatically covered. See What is the refund policy, and how do I request a refund?
