Decision 1: Plan Choice
Selecting the right subscription plan is crucial for maximizing the benefits of a service. You do not want to go too big, as this would waste resources, but you also do not want to go too small, to ensure you can complete all the work.

Enterprise Plans
Enterprise plans are customized to meet your specific needs. We can create a customized plan for you if our standard plans are insufficient in terms of organization seats, tool access, or credit limits.
These plans are available only for yearly contracts. If you're interested in a customized plan and would like to learn more, please get in touch with our Sales team directly using this form.
Decision 2: Billing Type Choice
Now that you know what each one of our plans has to offer, it's time to decide if you want to pay monthly or pay for a whole year upfront.
Monthly Billing:
Pay as you go, with lower commitment.
Ideal if your needs may change over time.
Credits are given in monthly batches and do not roll over, so planning is crucial.
Annual Billing:
Bigger upfront commitment, but more cost-effective.
All credits are granted in a single yearly batch, providing you with flexibility to use them as needed.
Best suited for those with a steady or growing content strategy.
Our Essential and Scale plans have a 7-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to try Surfer risk-free. 💵
