Pricing
Last updated 2026-08-11.
Pappus runs $199–$599 per month across three plans, metered by monthly credits. Every plan includes every publishing channel, the human approval gate, Substantiation Mode, and C2PA content credentials — tiers differ on how much you can generate, not on safety features.
Start with a 14-day free trial (no credit card), cancel in one click, and a prorated refund inside the first 14 days of a billing period is automatic. Approved drafts always belong to you.

What a credit meters
Credits meter the AI work behind your drafts — research, writing, image generation, and video generation. Text drafts use the fewest credits, images use more, and video uses the most. Your dashboard shows a live burn meter, and predictive alerts fire at 50%, 75%, and 90% of your plan so you're never surprised.
Extra-credit packs
If you run out before renewal, one-time packs add credits without changing your plan. Pack credits are consumed only after your plan credits and stay valid for 90 days.
| Pack | Credits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 200 | $25 |
| Medium | 600 | $65 |
| Large | 2,000 | $180 |

Pricing questions
How much does Pappus cost?
Pappus has three plans: Starter at $199/month (1,200 credits), Pro at $299/month (2,500 credits), and Business at $599/month (5,500 credits). Every plan is month-to-month — there is no forced annual contract.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, no credit card required. You approve real drafts for your own brand during the trial.
What is a credit?
Credits meter the AI work behind your drafts — research, writing, image generation, and video generation. Text drafts use the fewest credits, images more, and video the most. Your dashboard shows a live burn meter with alerts at 50%, 75%, and 90%.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Nothing surprising: spend is hard-capped at 1.5× your plan and we never auto-upgrade you. If you need more before your renewal, one-time extra-credit packs are available (200 credits for $25, 600 credits for $65, 2,000 credits for $180); pack credits stay valid for 90 days.
Which channels are included?
Every plan includes every publishing channel — LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Facebook, blog, newsletter, email, lead magnets, and landing pages. Tiers differ on included credits and media budgets, not on channel access.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancellation is one click, never a sales call. Publishing pauses immediately, you get a complete export of upcoming drafts, and a prorated refund is automatic within the first 14 days of a billing period.
