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 |
Included credits reset each month. Credits bought on top do not expire. 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 the complete workflow. That is roughly 15 post drafts if you spend every credit on drafts, or a mix of relevance checks, replies, drafts and research. No card is required.
Why does publishing to X cost credits?
X charges per post through its API and charges more for a link post. Publishing to the other 8 supported platforms has no action charge. Aboveboard shows the X cost before publishing instead of spreading it across every customer’s plan.
Do unused credits roll over?
Credits included with a plan reset each month. Extra credits you purchase do not expire.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Metered actions stop rather than silently charging you. You can buy extra credits at $0.03 each or wait for the monthly reset. Work already approved and scheduled is not cancelled merely because the credit balance reaches zero.
Can Aboveboard publish before someone approves the draft?
No. Drafts remain in review until a person with reviewer permission approves them. Editors can research, generate and revise without receiving the permission to publish.
Does one draft get copied unchanged to every platform?
No. Aboveboard can shape one approved idea for the format and constraints of each of the 9 supported platforms. Each version remains visible for review before publishing.
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. Normal channel connections use the authentication method supported by the platform. High-volume X customers may choose to bring their own X developer credentials when that is more economical.
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.
