Pricing and Billing: Paying for Outcomes, Not Activity
Most influencer tools bill for seats or activity whether or not anything gets posted. Content Architect's paid plans bill on outcomes: you pay a base fee plus a per-posted-content charge, and the metered charge only fires when a creator's post is verified live. This guide covers how the plans and billing work.
Fundamentals: outcome pricing
The billing unit is a deal, not a post: the first verified post per creator-campaign triggers one charge, and any extra posts from that same creator are free bonus. You are charged when a creator actually posts, not for the agent's activity along the way.
A monthly post budget cap keeps spend predictable. At the cap, the agents stop pushing new outreach and queue it instead, so you never get surprised by a bill.
The plans
- Free: $0, a one-time brand analysis from a URL. Up to 100 scored creator matches with DM draft previews, no credit card.
- Core: $129/mo plus $18 per posted content. The full agent stack, one brand, unlimited seats, per-creator discount codes and UTM links, and a monthly post budget cap you control.
- Scale: $399/mo plus $12 per posted content. Everything in Core, a lower per-post unit price, and priority processing so your brand runs first in every agent queue.
- Managed: from $1,500/mo, contact only. Everything in Scale, operated for you, with a dedicated operator and custom SLA.
For a brand testing the water
Start on Free to see your matched creators before paying anything. The paywall is simply the point where you approve and start outreach, so you only pay once you have decided the matches are worth pursuing.
For a brand scaling volume
Core and Scale differ mainly on unit economics: Scale lowers the per-posted-content price and adds priority processing, which pays off once you are posting enough volume that the lower unit price outweighs the higher base fee.
For a brand that wants it run for them
Managed is the concierge option: the same agent stack operated by a dedicated operator, priced from $1,500/mo and arranged by talking to the team rather than a self-serve checkout.
Glossary
Outcome pricing
Billing a base fee plus a charge that only fires when a creator's post is verified live, rather than for seats or activity.
Deal (billing unit)
The first verified post per creator-campaign. It triggers one charge; extra posts from the same creator are free bonus.
Post budget cap
A monthly limit you set. At the cap, new outreach queues instead of sending, so spend stays predictable.
Metered charge
The per-posted-content fee ($18 on Core, $12 on Scale) billed on top of the base monthly fee.
FAQ
Do I pay when a creator does not post?
No. The per-posted-content charge only fires when a creator's post is verified live. If nobody posts, you only owe the base fee.
What if the same creator posts more than once?
Billing is per deal, not per post. The first verified post per creator-campaign triggers one charge; extra posts from that creator are free.
Can I cap how much I spend in a month?
Yes. You set a monthly post budget cap, and at the cap new outreach queues instead of sending, so you are not surprised by a bill.
What does the Free plan include?
One brand analysis from a URL, up to 100 scored creator matches with DM draft previews, and no credit card.
