AuthorSend is priced by the size of your active audience. Every plan includes the full feature set — automations, segmentation, landing pages, and the AI assistant — so higher tiers buy you more scale and deliverability, not unlocked features.
What counts toward your limit
Only active readers count. Specifically:
- Unsubscribed readers never count. The moment someone opts out, they stop counting toward your bill.
- Bounced addresses never count. A hard bounce is removed from your active audience.
- Nobody is counted twice, no matter how many lists, segments, or tags they belong to.
This isn't just a promise on a pricing page — it's enforced in the billing code.
What happens if you exceed it
Changing plans
- Upgrade or downgrade anytime from Settings → Billing. The change takes effect right away and the difference is prorated — an upgrade charges only for the rest of the cycle, and a downgrade credits the unused portion toward your next invoice.
- Annual billing saves roughly 20% versus monthly (about two and a half months free), applied automatically when you switch to annual.
- Cancel anytime from Settings → Billing. Access continues to the end of the period you've paid for, and you can export your readers first.
