There's a new plan between Free and Freelancer: Startup, at $9/month.
What changed
- 1 brand, 50 prompts/month — the same volume as the Free plan.
- Unlike Free, Startup tracks all 4 engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview), not just ChatGPT and Claude.
- Includes API and MCP access, so you can pull results or manage prompts programmatically from day one.
Why it matters
Free is a good way to try AEO Copilot, but it caps you at 2 engines — and AI-native teams usually want to know how they show up everywhere, plus a way to wire that into their own tools. Startup gives you full engine coverage and API access for the price of a coffee subscription, without jumping straight to the Freelancer tier.
