Is there a free plan?
Yes. Social Neuron has a free plan, and it's not a time-limited trial — it's permanent. Forever free, forever 50 credits per month.
**What the free plan includes**: 50 credits per month, which is enough to get started and understand how the platform works. With 50 credits, you can generate roughly 3 AI images, or 50 content ideas and scripts. You get full access to Ideation Station in all four modes, the ability to create content with Easy Mode, and analytics for all published content. You can connect one social account and publish content.
**Why 50 credits is meaningful**. Many people think 50 credits is too small to be useful, but consider this: at just 1 credit per idea ($0.01), you can brainstorm 50 content ideas. That's well over a month of fresh ideas if you ideate weekday-daily. Ideas are where the platform creates the most value — once you have a great idea, creating the content becomes much easier. So the free plan is genuinely useful, not just a teaser.
**When to upgrade**. As you get more comfortable with the platform and want to create more content, you upgrade to a paid plan. Starter ($19/month) gives you 500 credits — roughly 4 videos, 15 images, and 500 ideas monthly. Pro ($49/month) gives you 1,500 credits with closed-loop optimization. Team ($99/month) gives you 3,500 credits plus multi-user access. Agency ($249/month) gives you 10,000 credits with multi-brand autopilot.
**No credit card to start**. You can explore the entire platform, create content, and publish to social media without entering payment information. When you want more credits, you upgrade or purchase add-on packs. There's no pressure and no surprise charges.
**Annual billing saves money**. If you commit to a paid plan annually, you save 20% compared to monthly. Starter becomes $15/month billed annually. Pro becomes $39/month. Team becomes $79/month. Agency becomes $199/month. Plus, annual plans include 10% bonus credits.
**Rolling over unused credits**. For active subscriptions, unused credits roll over month-to-month. So if you don't use all 500 Starter credits in month one, they're still there in month two. This means you never waste credits.
