What do PostSnag's plans include, and what are the limits?

PostSnag has three plans, Free, Pro, and Lifetime, with hard limits only on the Free plan: 3 total profile scans, a 30-post preview, and limited group scans.

PostSnag has three plans: Free at $0, Pro at $19 a month, and Lifetime at $139 one time. Free opens most of the dashboard, including Overview, Posts, Compare, Bookmarks, and Folders; Discovery is the one section reserved for Pro and Lifetime. What changes most between plans is how much you can capture: Free caps you at 3 profile scans total, a 30-post preview per scan, and limited group scanning. Pro and Lifetime both come with a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.

Here's exactly what each plan includes and where the real limits sit.

Free: $0

Free costs nothing and doesn't require a card. It includes:

  • The Chrome extension with live, scroll-to-capture. The exact same capture engine as the paid plans.
  • Most of the dashboard, including Overview, Posts, Compare, Bookmarks, and Folders. Discovery is not included; it needs Pro or Lifetime.
  • 3 profile scans total, with no weekly reset. Each profile, Page, or a member's profile opened inside a group counts as one profile scan, whether it's new or one you're rescanning. The panel shows a notice once you've used all 3, with a link to upgrade.
  • A 30-post preview per profile, per scan. Your dashboard shows the first 30 posts normally; anything beyond that is blurred behind a subscribe or upgrade wall until you upgrade.
  • Limited group scanning, for scrolling and capturing an entire Facebook Group's own feed. Pro and Lifetime remove the limit.

Free is the plan to start with, whether you're trying PostSnag out or only need the occasional capture.

Pro: $19/month

Pro removes every Free cap and adds ongoing conveniences:

  • Unlimited profile scans, no 3-scan total to run into.
  • No 30-post preview. A profile's full post history is visible in your dashboard, nothing blurred.
  • Unlimited group scanning.
  • Discovery, PostSnag's caption and hook pattern engine, included.
  • Every scan saved for good, so nothing you've captured ages out.
  • All four export formats, at full library scale: Data as Markdown, Data as CSV, Media only, and Data plus media.
  • Priority email support.

Pro bills monthly through Lemon Squeezy and is built for anyone using PostSnag on a regular, ongoing basis: agencies running client research, marketers tracking competitors, or creators studying a niche continuously. "Cancel anytime" means you're never locked into a term; it isn't an in-app one-click cancel button today. Canceling goes through the customer-portal link in your Lemon Squeezy receipt or renewal email, or by emailing support@postsnag.com. See How do I cancel my PostSnag subscription?.

Lifetime: $139 one time

Lifetime includes everything Pro includes, for a single one-time payment instead of a recurring charge:

  • The same unlimited profile scans, group scans, full history, and Discovery as Pro.
  • Price locked at today's rate. No future increases apply to your purchase.
  • Future features included at no extra cost as PostSnag adds them.
  • Priority email support.

Lifetime is the plan for anyone who already knows they'll use PostSnag long-term and would rather pay once than monthly.

What's included on every plan

Overview, Posts, Compare, Bookmarks, and Folders are dashboard features available to every account, Free included, along with each profile's and group's own Analytics tab. Discovery is the exception: it's included on Pro and Lifetime, not on Free. The limits on Free apply specifically to the 3-scan profile total, the 30-post preview, and group scanning; nothing else in the dashboard is walled off behind a paid plan.

If you upgrade after hitting a Free plan cap

Posts blurred behind the Free plan's 30-post preview are already sitting in your dashboard; upgrading removes the blur so you can see a profile's full history, no rescan needed. The 3-scan total works differently: it limits how many profile scans you can start at all, not how much of a scan you can see, so upgrading removes that ceiling rather than unlocking something already captured. If the panel or dashboard still shows Free limits right after upgrading, give it a minute or two to catch up; see I upgraded but still see free-plan limits. What do I do?

Common questions

Do I need a credit card to try the Free plan?

No. Free costs $0, requires no card, and doesn't expire.

What happens when I hit the Free plan's 3-scan total?

The panel shows a notice once you've used all 3 profile scans, with a link to upgrade. Unlike a lot of free tiers, this total doesn't reset weekly.

What happens when I hit the Free plan's group scan limit?

The panel lets you know, the same way it does for profile scans. Pro and Lifetime remove it entirely.

Is the money-back guarantee available on both Pro and Lifetime?

Yes. Either plan qualifies for a refund on the first payment only, requested within 14 days.

Do you offer team or agency pricing?

Not yet. Most agencies run everything they need on a single Pro or Lifetime seat. If you need multiple seats, email support@postsnag.com.
