If you only need testing and light drafting, Free works. Starter fits solo publishing. Pro is where multi-channel operations and automation begin to pay off.

Getting started
Pricing FAQ
The most important questions people ask before choosing a plan.
What is the difference between Free and Starter?
Free is for testing Athenous Lab and understanding the workflow. Starter is where actual publishing begins, with social scheduling, connected channels, and recurring monthly usage limits.
When should a team move to Pro?
Move to Pro when you need campaign publishing, automation, collaboration, approvals, or more multi-channel volume. It is the first plan designed for repeatable team operations rather than individual experimentation.
Does Enterprise only mean more volume?
No. Enterprise is also about governance, procurement, SSO, auditability, private integrations, support commitments, and custom operating policies in addition to higher usage capacity.
Are AI prompts the same as posts?
No. AI prompts represent generation usage in Athenous Lab. Posts and schedules are separate operational limits tied to publishing workflows and connected channels.
Can I start small and upgrade later?
Yes. The pricing model is designed so users can begin with Free or Starter, validate their workflow, and upgrade into Pro or Enterprise when they need more channels, users, campaigns, and automation depth.
