Skip to main content
PostSider’s subscription plans determine how many channels you can connect, how many posts you can schedule per month, and whether your organization can add team members. Each plan is designed for a different scale of use - from individual creators to large teams managing many social accounts. On PostSider Cloud, open Billing in the dashboard sidebar to view your plan, change plans, and manage your subscription.
Billing is only active when POLAR_ACCESS_TOKEN is configured on the PostSider instance you’re using. On a self-hosted instance without billing configured, all features are fully unlocked regardless of plan - this is the default for self-hosters.

Plan Comparison

​
What’s Included on Every Plan

Plans also limit AI actions and webhook delivery counts. The MCP server uses the public API, so it requires a plan with public API access:
  • Webhooks - notify external systems and agents when posts are published
  • AI assistant - generate, refine, and rewrite post content with OpenAI, subject to the plan’s monthly action limit
  • MCP server - connect AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, and others) to publish and schedule via the MCP protocol

​
Free Trial

New Cloud accounts receive a 7-day Standard trial. The trial includes 5 channels, 400 posts per month, and 2 configured webhook endpoints; team-member features are not included. The trial caps AI usage at 10 actions (a paid Standard plan includes 50). The trial is available once per email address - it does not reset if you delete and re-create your account.
If you’re evaluating PostSider, the 7-day trial lets you connect channels, schedule posts, use the public API/MCP, and test the included AI and webhook quotas before committing to a plan.

​
Managing Your Subscription

1

Open Billing settings

In PostSider Cloud, click Billing in the dashboard sidebar.
2

View your current plan

The page shows your current plan tier, billing period, and price. AI action usage is shown separately under Settings → AI usage; there is no in-app readout for channel or post counts.
3

Upgrade or change plans

Click Change Plan to see all available plans. Select the one you want and complete the checkout. Your new limits take effect immediately.
4

Manage billing details

Click Manage Subscription to open the billing portal where you can update your payment method, view invoices, or cancel your subscription.

​
Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time from Billing → Manage Subscription. Your plan remains active until the end of the current billing period. After that, access to features gated by your plan tier will be restricted.

​
Self-Hosted Instances

If you’re running your own PostSider instance without POLAR_ACCESS_TOKEN set in your .env, billing is not enforced. Your organization will have unlimited access to all features - channels, posts, team members, and everything else - with no plan limits. This is the intended default behavior for self-hosters.
To enable billing on your self-hosted instance (for example, if you’re offering PostSider as a service to others), configure the Polar.sh integration in your .env:
See the Environment configuration page for full details on all available variables.
