ContentStudio Pricing: Plans, Add-Ons and Yearly Cost
ContentStudio pricing in one line: ContentStudio costs $19, $49 or $99 per month on its Standard, Advanced and Agency Unlimited plans when billed annually, which is $228, $588 or $1,188 paid up front for the year; the same plans cost $29, $69 and $139 month to month (ContentStudio pricing page and pricing.md, checked November 10, 2026). The price you pay depends less on the plan name than on how many social profiles, people and client workspaces you connect.
Cheapest fit: Standard at $19/month annual for one person and up to 5 profiles; Advanced at $49 for a small team; Agency Unlimited at $99 once Advanced would need about ten extra accounts.
Watch out if: you plan to pay annually before testing (unused annual months are not refunded after the 30-day first-purchase guarantee), you need social listening (an extra $99 to $150/month), or you manage more than 25 profiles on Agency Unlimited (the tier table is not published).
- Annual billing saves $120, $240 or $480 a year against paying month to month on Standard, Advanced and Agency Unlimited.
- Standard cannot be extended: no extra accounts, users or workspaces are sold on it.
- No free plan and no lifetime deal: only a one-time 7-day trial without a credit card.
By the Unfair Advantage editorial team · Updated November 10, 2026. Method: we read ContentStudio’s pricing page, its machine-readable pricing file (contentstudio.io/pricing.md), its terms of service and its MCP server page on November 10, 2026 (Europe/Paris), then did the yearly and team-size arithmetic ourselves from the published unit prices. We did not open a ContentStudio account or reach checkout, so taxes and any checkout-only offers are not shown. Anything ContentStudio does not publish is marked “not disclosed”. For features, fit and workflow, read our ContentStudio review for marketing teams; this page covers cost only.
What are ContentStudio’s prices on each billing cycle?
ContentStudio sells three self-serve plans on three billing cycles, plus a custom Enterprise plan. Prices are per plan, not per seat, in USD and exclude VAT and sales tax (pricing.md, checked November 10, 2026).
| Plan | Monthly | Quarterly (per month) | Annual (per month) | Included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $29 | $25 | $19 | 5 accounts, 1 user, 1 workspace |
| Advanced | $69 | $59 | $49 | 10 accounts, 2 users, 2 workspaces |
| Agency Unlimited | $139 | $119 | $99 | 25 accounts to start, unlimited users and workspaces |
| Enterprise | Not offered | Not offered | Custom | Custom accounts, SSO and white label included |
The pricing page shows the discount as −34% on yearly Standard, −29% on yearly Advanced and Agency Unlimited, and −14% for the quarterly toggle. ContentStudio’s own wording is “up to 34 percent” for annual and “up to 14 percent” for quarterly.
Quarterly billing is charged every three months: $75 for Standard, $177 for Advanced and $357 for Agency Unlimited. Enterprise is billed annually only, after a call with sales.
What does each ContentStudio plan cost over a full year?
Over twelve months, annual billing is the cheapest cycle on every plan, and month-to-month billing costs between $120 and $480 more. The totals below are our arithmetic on ContentStudio’s published prices (checked November 10, 2026); ContentStudio publishes the same savings figures.
| Plan | 12 × monthly | 4 × quarterly | 1 × annual | Annual saves vs monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $348 | $300 | $228 | $120 |
| Advanced | $828 | $708 | $588 | $240 |
| Agency Unlimited | $1,668 | $1,428 | $1,188 | $480 |
| API plan (base) | $228 | $204 | $180 | $48 |
Quarterly billing sits in between: it saves $48, $120 or $240 a year against monthly on Standard, Advanced and Agency Unlimited, while asking for three months of cash at a time instead of twelve. That matters because of the refund rules below: on a quarterly cycle, the amount at stake after the guarantee period is one quarter, not a full year.
How do social accounts, users and workspaces change the price?
Social accounts drive the bill. Each connected profile or page counts as one account, and only Advanced sells flat-rate capacity: $5/month per extra account, $10 per extra user and $10 per extra workspace (pricing.md, checked November 10, 2026).
- Standard: capacity add-ons are not available. A sixth profile, a second user or a second brand workspace means moving to Advanced.
- Advanced: the only plan with flat-rate extras. Add-ons are prorated to the billing cycle.
- Agency Unlimited: users and workspaces are already unlimited; accounts above 25 use tiered pricing that ContentStudio sends you to sales for, so the per-account rate is not disclosed.
Team-size scenarios at annual plan rates
ContentStudio calculates its own examples with annual plan rates plus add-on unit prices and calls them “illustrative, not quotes”. We used the same method for the rows marked UA.
| Setup | Cheapest plan | Monthly total | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person, 1 brand on 5 networks | Standard | $19 | Plan price |
| 1 person, 8 profiles | Advanced (Standard cannot add accounts) | $49 | UA |
| 3 people, 12 profiles, 2 brands | Advanced + 2 accounts + 1 user | $49 + $10 + $10 = $69 | UA |
| 20 accounts, 4 users | Advanced + 10 accounts + 2 users | $119 | ContentStudio |
| 20 accounts, 5 users, 4 workspaces | Advanced + extras, or Agency Unlimited | $149 on Advanced vs $99 on Agency Unlimited | ContentStudio |
| 8 clients, 25 profiles, 6 users | Agency Unlimited | $99 | UA |
The switch point is lower than many teams expect: ContentStudio says to compare against Agency Unlimited once Advanced needs more than roughly ten extra accounts. In the 20-account rows above, Agency Unlimited at $99 is already cheaper than the stacked Advanced plan at $119 or $149.
What do ContentStudio’s feature add-ons cost?
Feature add-ons can cost more than the plan itself: social listening on Advanced is $99/month against a $49 plan. All feature add-ons are sold monthly or yearly (pricing page, checked November 10, 2026).
| Add-on | Plan | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Social listening (3 topics, 5,000 mentions) | Advanced | $99 | $950 |
| Social listening (5 topics, 10,000 mentions) | Agency Unlimited | $150 | $1,440 |
| White label | Agency Unlimited | $50 | $500 |
| White label reseller | Agency Unlimited | $50 | $500 |
| SSO (SAML) | Agency Unlimited | $150 | $1,440 |
Paying add-ons yearly saves about two months: listening on Advanced costs $1,188 over twelve monthly payments against $950 yearly (our arithmetic). ContentStudio’s fully stacked Agency Unlimited example, with white label, reseller, listening and SSO, comes to $499/month. Paid entirely on yearly terms, the same stack is $1,188 + $500 + $500 + $1,440 + $1,440 = $5,068 a year (our arithmetic on published prices).
Standard has no feature add-ons, and white label, reseller and SSO are not available on Advanced. Enterprise includes SSO and white label rather than selling them as extras.
How much does the ContentStudio API plan cost?
The API-only plan starts at $15/month billed annually ($180/year), $17/month billed quarterly ($51 every three months) or $19 month to month, for 10 social accounts and 3,000 API requests per month (pricing.md, checked November 10, 2026).
The price rises with a configurator on the pricing page, up to 50 social accounts and 50,000 API requests a month; prices above the base configuration are not published in the pricing file. The base plan includes 1 workspace, 1 user, 15 GB of media storage, a dedicated API dashboard and usage alerts at 80% and 90% of quota.
You do not need it to automate: API access and MCP integration are included on Standard, Advanced, Agency Unlimited and Enterprise. The API plan is the cheaper route only when code, not the dashboard, does the publishing. If your automation layer is n8n, our n8n pricing breakdown covers the other half of that bill.
Which ContentStudio billing rules change what you pay?
Four clauses in ContentStudio’s terms of service (last updated April 30, 2026, checked November 10, 2026) change the effective price more than the plan cards do:
- Annual means twelve months, no partial refund. After the 30-day guarantee for first-time subscribers, the terms rule out refunds for the unused part of an annual plan (section 4.6).
- Refunds lose the discount. If a refund is approved on a quarterly or annual plan, it is calculated without the billing-frequency discount, and an administrative fee may apply (section 4.7).
- Discount codes replace, not stack. A discount code negates the billing-frequency discount, and it stops applying if you upgrade or downgrade (sections 7.8 and 7.9). Compare a code against the annual rate before you use it.
- Prices can rise. ContentStudio reserves the right to increase charges at any time (section 7.5); subscriptions auto-renew for the same term unless cancelled first (section 4.1).
Two rules work in your favor. A refund request within 7 days of a forgotten renewal may be granted for that latest charge (section 4.5), and the pricing FAQ says billing can be paused instead of cancelled, with data kept. Billing runs through Paddle by credit or debit card.
Is there a free ContentStudio plan, trial or lifetime deal?
No free plan and no lifetime deal: ContentStudio’s pricing FAQ says it offers neither, and the only free option is a one-time 7-day trial with no credit card required (checked November 10, 2026).
If you add no payment details, nothing is charged when the trial ends. The terms add that some add-ons with setup costs, naming “Rebranded Apps” and “Email and SMS credits”, are not available during the trial (section 7.11). Neither item appears on the current pricing page, so their prices are not disclosed.
What does ContentStudio’s pricing page leave out?
Several cost inputs are not published, and two official statements disagree. We flag them rather than guess (all checked November 10, 2026):
- Not disclosed: the tier table for accounts above 25 on Agency Unlimited, prices for extra AI credits and extra API credits, API plan prices above the base configuration, and Enterprise pricing.
- API request quotas: the plan cards show 1,500, 3,000 and 7,500 API requests on Standard, Advanced and Agency Unlimited without saying per what period; the pricing file does not repeat those figures.
- Contradiction on downgrades: the pricing FAQ says a downgrade refunds “any remaining balance”, while the terms say no prorated or partial refunds are provided for the unused portion of a cycle. Ask support in writing before downgrading mid-cycle.
- Contradiction on billing cycles: the pricing page FAQ describes billing “on a monthly or yearly cycle”, while the same page and pricing.md sell a quarterly cycle.
- Taxes: all prices exclude VAT and sales tax, which are added at checkout based on your location.
Which ContentStudio plan fits which budget?
Choose the plan by profiles and people, then choose the cycle by how sure you are. The table maps common budgets to one decision, using prices checked November 10, 2026.
| If you… | Decision |
|---|---|
| Work alone with up to 5 profiles | Standard: $19/month annual ($228/year) or $29 monthly. |
| Have 2 people or 6 to 10 profiles | Advanced: $49/month annual ($588/year). |
| Would add about ten or more accounts to Advanced | Agency Unlimited: $99/month annual ($1,188/year). |
| Publish only from code or an agent | API plan from $15/month annual, or keep the API included in any plan. |
| Are not yet sure the team will adopt it | Trial first, then quarterly, and move to annual later. |
Key takeaways (checked November 10, 2026)
- ContentStudio’s annual plans cost $228, $588 and $1,188 a year for Standard, Advanced and Agency Unlimited, against $348, $828 and $1,668 when paid month to month (ContentStudio pricing page, November 10, 2026).
- ContentStudio’s Standard plan sells no extra accounts, users or workspaces, so the cheapest way past 5 social profiles is the $49/month Advanced plan (ContentStudio pricing.md, November 10, 2026).
- ContentStudio Agency Unlimited at $99/month is cheaper than Advanced with extras for a 20-account team, which ContentStudio prices at $119 to $149/month on Advanced (ContentStudio pricing.md, November 10, 2026).
- ContentStudio social listening is never included in a self-serve plan and costs $99/month on Advanced or $150/month on Agency Unlimited (ContentStudio pricing page, November 10, 2026).
- ContentStudio has no free plan and no lifetime deal; its only free option is a one-time 7-day trial without a credit card (ContentStudio pricing FAQ, November 10, 2026).
- Under ContentStudio’s terms, a discount code replaces the annual or quarterly discount instead of stacking with it (ContentStudio terms of service updated April 30, 2026, checked November 10, 2026).
Our verdict: ContentStudio’s pricing is simple at the plan level and gets expensive through accounts and add-ons. Count every profile before you choose, compare stacked Advanced against Agency Unlimited, and only pay annually once the team has used it through the trial.
