Does the free plan expire?

No. The free plan is a permanent tier, not a trial. You keep your 2 profiles and 10 uploads per month for as long as you use the account. No credit card, no expiry date.

What's the difference between API read and write access?

Read access lets you GET your post list, check post statuses, and retrieve profile info. Write access (Starter and above) lets you create new posts via API — POST /v1/posts. Free plan users can use the dashboard UI to post, but can't trigger posts programmatically.

Can I test the API structure on the free plan before upgrading?

Yes. You can read your posts, check status endpoints, and review the full API schema at docs.codivupload.com. The write endpoints are documented and available for inspection — they'll just return a plan restriction error if you call them on Free.

What happens when I hit 10 uploads?

New publish requests return a quota error until the next calendar month. We don't charge overages and we don't automatically upgrade your plan. You'll see a clear error message with your reset date.

Does the free plan include the visual dashboard?

Yes — every plan includes the full dashboard. Connect accounts via OAuth, drag posts onto the calendar, click Schedule. Same composer, same calendar, same analytics view as paid plans. Free plan limits the post quota and number of profiles, not features.

Can I use the MCP server on the free plan?

Yes. The MCP server (npx codivupload-mcp) works with any plan — including Free. Drop it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT Pro, or Zed and your AI agent gets posting tools immediately. Free plan's 30/month quota applies to MCP-initiated posts too.

Is there a credit card required for the free plan?

No. Sign up with email, verify, get an API key. No credit card field in the signup flow. You can use the free plan indefinitely without ever entering payment info.

Free covers casual use — solo creators, students, developers testing the API. Heavy use (>10 uploads/month, multiple brands, automation pipelines, AI agent loops) needs a paid plan because those scenarios use real infrastructure. We'd rather have you happy on free for years than burn out the service supporting freeloaders. Honest tradeoff.

Who stays on free

Not everyone needs unlimited. Here's who the free plan is genuinely right for.

Developers testing the API

Hit real endpoints before committing to a plan. The free tier is functional — not a sandbox.

Solo creators on a few platforms

If you post to 2 profiles and don't need analytics, free covers you indefinitely. No expiry, no trial.

Students building portfolio projects

Real API, real platform publishing, real credential for your resume. Not a mock environment.

What you can build on free

10 uploads/month and full read API is enough for real projects. Examples from actual free-tier users.

Bookmark-to-social bot

Watch a Pocket/Raindrop bookmark, generate a caption, post a thread to X and LinkedIn. Built in a weekend with the free tier and a single Lambda.

AI-curated content stream

Daily cron job pulls trending topics, asks GPT for a take, posts to Threads and Bluesky. 10 uploads/month covers a daily cadence.

Portfolio side project

Resume-worthy build: connect to real platform APIs without per-platform OAuth integration work. CodivUpload handles 10+ platforms behind one endpoint.

Analytics dashboard

Read your post engagement programmatically (free tier read access). Build a custom analytics view in Grafana or your own React app.

Need unlimited uploads, analytics, or API write access?
