# Plans and limits (/docs/account/plans-and-limits)

{/* Source: WriteStack src/lib/plans-consts.ts. Keep in sync. */}

WriteStack has three paid plans: **Hobbyist**, **Standard** and **Enterprise**. Every plan starts with a [free trial](/docs/account/trial) and can be billed monthly or annually.

{/* TODO(orel): Prices are not listed here on purpose. The code has two different price sets (plans-consts `plans` / landing copy: 23.99/19.99, 32.99/24.99, 99.99/79.99 vs `pricePerPlan`: 16.99/12.99, 39.99/32.99, 59.99/49.99) and the real charge comes from Stripe. Confirm the live prices and add a price row if you want one. */}

{/* TODO(orel): Cross-post channel limits (maxConnectedChannelsPerPlan, 5/10/100) only exist on the native-social-publishing branch, not on main. Confirm they are live before publishing. Hobbyist has a limit of 5 in code but no `buffer` feature flag, so it is shown as "Not included". */}
{/* TODO(orel): "Notes statistics: Basic" for Hobbyist is inferred from advancedStatistics being Standard+. Confirm what Hobbyist sees. */}

## How the limits work [#how-the-limits-work]

- **Notes queued at a time** counts Notes scheduled but not yet published. When a scheduled Note is published, you can queue another one. See [Notes and the queue](/docs/using/concepts/notes-and-the-queue).
- **Evergreen Notes** have no separate plan limit. See [Evergreen Notes](/docs/using/notes/evergreen).
- **The Coach** usage resets every Monday. Hobbyist is the 1x base; Standard gets 5 times that and Enterprise 20 times. See [Coach limits](/docs/using/coach/limits).
- **AI credits** are used by AI features such as generating Notes. They are allocated per billing period. You can buy extra credits under **Settings → Subscription → Credits**.
- **Cross-posting** counts channels that are turned on. Turning a channel off frees its spot. See [Cross-posting](/docs/using/cross-posting).
- **Auto-DM new subscribers** sends a welcome DM when someone subscribes. The daily limit counts all your newsletters together.

## Monthly or annual [#monthly-or-annual]

Every plan can be billed monthly or annually. Annual billing costs less per month and is charged once a year. To switch, see [Change your plan](/docs/account/change-plan).

## If you hit a limit [#if-you-hit-a-limit]

- Upgrade under **Settings → Subscription → Billing & Invoices → Update plan**. See [Change your plan](/docs/account/change-plan).
- For queued Notes, wait for scheduled Notes to publish, or remove some from the queue.
- For cross-post channels, turn off a channel you don't use.
