How billing works

The free trial
7 days of Pro from your first sign-in, with everything working and no card asked for.
Day 8
Without a paid plan your account is read-only: you can still sign in, open every page, see, download or delete your data, copy a draft you already have and open ๐•, and choose a plan, but Crux writes no new drafts, tracks nothing, builds no Learnings, makes no videos or replies, posts nothing and imports nothing, and background jobs skip your account.
Paying and cancelling
In US dollars through Stripe, from the day you choose a plan. Cancel in Manage billing: your plan works to the end of the period already paid for.

X API reads

X charges per API read. Crux pays it.

Imports, finding the posts you publish from Crux drafts, their numbers at 1 h, 24 h and 7 d and the metrics refresh read from X, and X bills the Crux app for every read. Each job stops before it would pass a spending ceiling set by whoever runs Crux, and Settings shows this monthโ€™s spend.

Per X read

$0 billed to you

No usage charge on top of any plan.

Questions

Billing, in plain words.

How does the free trial work?

Your 7 days of Pro start the first time you sign in and end exactly 7 days later. No card is asked for, everything in Pro works during the trial, and nothing is charged when it ends. An account that already existed when billing opened gets its 7 days without waiting for a visit.

What happens on day 8?

Without a paid plan your account is read-only: you can still sign in, open every page, see, download or delete your data, copy a draft you already have and open ๐•, and choose a plan, but Crux writes no new drafts, tracks nothing, builds no Learnings, makes no videos or replies, posts nothing and imports nothing, and background jobs skip your account. Choose a plan in Settings and Pro works again at once.

Can I choose a plan before the trial ends?

You can. Your plan starts the day you choose it; trial days you had left are not added on.

What is the launch deal?

Pro for life for $49 once, paid once, for the first 100 buyers; Settings shows how many are left. It never renews. It is Pro, so it does not include Autopilotโ€™s scheduling and posting.

What is Autopilot?

Pro plus scheduling and posting to ๐•, for $29 a month or $276 a year ($23 a month). Crux posts only what you schedule, on Autopilot: at a time you pick, at a best time from your own posts, or when you press Post now, once you allow Crux to write to your ๐• account and turn posting on. 30 posts with a link a month are included.

How do I cancel?

In Settings, Manage billing opens Stripeโ€™s customer portal, where you cancel in one step. Cancelling stops the next renewal: your plan keeps working until the end of the period you already paid for, which is not refunded, and your account is read-only after that.

What currency, and is tax added?

Prices are in US dollars (USD). Checkout charges the price shown and adds no sales tax or VAT on top. Your bank may charge its own fee to convert the currency.

What if a payment fails?

Stripe retries your card, and your plan keeps working for 7 days after the failed payment. After that your account is read-only until the payment goes through. Update your card in Manage billing.

Who takes the payment, and where are my receipts?

Stripe takes the payment through Stripe Checkout and keeps your card; Crux never sees the card number. Every invoice is in Manage billing, and Stripe emails a receipt for each payment to the address you give at checkout.

What happens to my plan if I delete my account?

Deleting your Crux account in Settings cancels a subscription at Stripe at once, with no refund for the rest of the period, and deletes what Crux stores about you. A launch deal ends with the account and is not refunded.

Is there a limit on drafts?

Yes. Drafts are written by a free AI model through OpenRouter, and all of Crux shares one daily limit: 45 model requests in any 24 hours, of which background jobs may use up to 30. One โ€œWrite 3 variantsโ€ usually takes one request, and so does each batch of work. Drafts from your work come out of the background share, and each account gets at most 6 batches of work drafted in any 24 hours; later work waits and joins the next batch. When the limit is reached, drafting waits until older requests fall out of the 24 hours.

Who pays for ๐• API reads?

Crux does. ๐• bills the Crux app for every read it makes, for imports, for finding the posts you publish from Crux drafts and reading their numbers at 1 h, 24 h and 7 d, and for the metrics refresh, and none of it is passed on to you: there is no charge per read. Each job stops before it would pass a spending ceiling set by whoever runs Crux. The same goes for the reply feed: each Refresh is one ๐• search billed to the Crux app, and a Refresh is refused, even with refreshes left that day, once it would pass those ceilings or the reply feedโ€™s own monthly share of them.

Ship it, then post it.
