How plans map to the Athenous workflow
The product experience follows the same path as the features page: start in AI, connect channels, publish, then scale with automation, analytics, and team workflows.
Draft in Lab
Use AI Credits in Lab and Studio, templates, and idea generation to create first-draft content, hooks, and campaign direction.
See AI featuresConnect and publish
Starter raises channel and volume limits versus lighter exploration in the app; Pro and Agency scale further; Enterprise is fully custom.
See publishing limitsScale with control
Pro, Agency, and Enterprise add automation, analytics, team approvals, and (on Agency+) full campaign operations for repeatable growth workflows.

What is the difference between Starter and Pro?
Starter ($20/mo) includes 400 AI Credits per month, up to 5 social channels, unlimited publishes, and 120 new schedules per month (UTC). Pro ($49/mo) raises limits to 800 AI Credits, 10 channels, unlimited publishes, and unlimited new schedules per month, with API access and up to 3 users. Agency ($99/mo) adds unlimited posts and schedules, unlimited Campaign connectors, 2,000 AI Credits, and up to 5 users.
When should a team move to Pro or Agency?
Move to Pro when you need higher AI and organic volume (800 AI Credits/mo, 10 channels, unlimited publishes, and unlimited new schedules per month), API access, and up to 3 users.

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 Credits the same as posts?
No. AI Credits meter generation usage in Athenous Lab and AI Studio. Posts and schedules are separate operational limits tied to publishing workflows and connected channels.
Can I start small and upgrade later?
Yes. Begin on Starter, validate your workflow, then upgrade to Pro, Agency, or Enterprise when you need more channels, users, campaigns, and automation depth. Starter, Pro, Agency, and Enterprise each include the same 7-day free trial when you subscribe through Stripe Checkout where it is enabled.
