Growth intelligence by plan
Your first-run growth report — statistics, follower bumps and attribution — is included on every paid plan. Within growth intelligence, only optional analysis of historical media uses credits, and the full cost is always shown before it runs.

What each action costs
Analysis of eligible newly published media posts is included on paid plans. Importing your history is priced per post and totaled before you run it — and analysis runs once per post, so your library never bills twice.
| Action | Credits | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Relevance check | 1 | Judge whether an opportunity is worth answering |
| Reply draft | 2 | Prepare one reviewed reply in your voice |
| Post draft | 4 | Generate, review and arbitrate one platform-specific post |
| Research run | 8 | Search and synthesize a brief with cited sources |
| Past photo analysis | 1 | Import and analyze a past photo — runs once per post |
| Past video analysis | 3 | Import and analyze a past video — frames and transcript, once per post |
| Brand analysis — website | 2 | Read one URL and up to five linked pages to draft your brand profile |
| Brand analysis — document | 2 | Read one PDF, text or Markdown document, then delete the uploaded file |
| Brand analysis — public profile | 1 | Read one publicly available social profile |
| Publish to X | 1 | Cover the platform fee for a plain post |
| Publish to X with a link | 8 | Cover the higher platform fee X charges for a link post |
| Send a direct message on X | 1 | Covers the per-message fee X charges; other platforms charge nothing to reply |
| Receive a direct message on X | 1 | X charges to read direct messages, and this runs on a schedule |
Your plan adds credits each calendar month. Unused credits remain in your account balance. Prices are in USD and exclude applicable tax.

Questions
Answers, before you ask
What makes Aboveboard different from a scheduler or AI writer?
Aboveboard connects the work before and after the draft. It watches trusted sources and public conversations, ranks opportunities, researches the useful ones, drafts against your brand rules, holds the result for approval, publishes it and reads back what happened. The evidence and the person making the final decision stay in the workflow.
Can Aboveboard help set up my brand?
Yes. Choose evidence-assisted setup or a no-credit manual path. Assisted setup reads a website, PDF, text or Markdown document, or a supported, publicly readable profile, then proposes an editable brand profile and campaign direction. Every supported suggestion shows its source, quote and confidence. On first setup, unsupported fields remain for you to complete; on Refresh, they retain their saved values. You see the quote before credits are spent, and your brand changes only after you review and Save.
What exactly is a credit?
A credit is a small unit of metered work. A relevance check costs 1 credit, a reply costs 2, a post draft costs 4, and a research run costs 8. Charging by action means a quick check is not billed like a full research-and-drafting run.
How far does the Free plan go?
Free includes 60 credits, 1 connected channel and core drafting and review. That is about 15 post drafts if all credits go to drafts. Publishing depends on channel availability and permissions; growth intelligence and paid X messaging require a paid plan. No card is required.
Why does publishing to X cost credits?
Across 9 connections, eligible publishing on 7 networks has no per-action fee. X uses credits; YouTube provides statistics only. Availability and account permissions apply.
Do unused credits roll over?
Your included allowance is added each calendar month. Unused credits remain in your account balance.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Metered actions stop at the available balance. Wait for the next monthly allowance or review your plan options. Scheduled work is not cancelled just because credits run out, but X delivery still needs credits and all delivery remains subject to availability and permissions.
Can Aboveboard publish before someone approves the draft?
New post drafts wait for a permitted reviewer. Eligible unchanged public posts from your own account may use a narrowly authorized reuse rule; editing, sensitive content and TikTok return to individual review. Editors do not gain post-publishing permission by drafting.
Does one draft get copied unchanged to every platform?
Aboveboard can prepare separate versions for eligible destinations across 9 connections. Formats and publishing availability vary; YouTube is a read-only statistics connection.
Is my content used to train AI models?
Aboveboard does not use customer posts, drafts or brand briefs to train its models. The privacy policy explains which service providers process data to return requested features.
Do I need developer accounts for every platform?
No developer account is needed for the normal supported connection flow. Access depends on platform authorization and current availability; Bluesky uses a dedicated app password.
What does content analysis cost?
Analysis of eligible newly published media posts is included on paid plans. Importing and analyzing your history costs 1 credit per photo or 3 credits per video, and your plan’s included credits can cover it. The total is shown before you run it; each post is analyzed once, so viewing it again uses no credits.
What exactly do you analyze, and who sees it?
Aboveboard analyzes media published on your own connected accounts. Its descriptive tags stay in your workspace, where you can edit or hide them; your content is never used as training data. Peer insights use only data available through official platform APIs.
Why do results say “measured,” “derived” or “estimated”?
“Measured” means the platform reports the result directly for that post. “Derived” means official follow events can be joined to the post’s timing. “Estimated” means Aboveboard infers the likeliest contribution from timing and performance data because the platform does not expose direct attribution; the label keeps each distinction visible.
Do you analyze my competitors by scraping?
No. Peer insights use official platform APIs only. If a platform offers no official way to read another account, Aboveboard leaves that peer view out instead of scraping or inventing a workaround.
Which platforms have measured follower attribution?
Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube provide measured post-level follower attribution. Bluesky is derived from official follow events. X, LinkedIn Pages, Threads, Reddit, and Mastodon use clearly labeled estimates from timing and performance signals because their APIs do not report a direct post-level result.
