Blog: plans, limits and what counts

The blog itself

The blog is on every plan, including Free, and there is no limit on how many posts you can write. Drafts are free too.

What depends on your plan

• Analytics. Available on the Creator plan. Creator looks back 90 days, Growth as far as your blog goes. Per-author numbers are available on the Growth plan. See Your blog's numbers.

• Scheduling posts. Available on the Creator plan. Posts you scheduled before moving down to Free still go live, and you can always unschedule them. See Schedule posts and use the calendar.

• Your own domain. Available on the Creator plan. See Connect your own domain.

• Teammates. Admin and editor seats come with the Growth plan, and so do review before publish, assigning posts, comments, seeing who is editing and writing in the same post at once. See Writing with your team.

• Posts for a tier. Limiting a post to one membership tier and up needs the Growth plan, because membership tiers are part of Growth. So does hiding that post from members below the tier. Making a post members only has no plan limit of its own. See Posts only members can read.

• Forms. The subscribe band is one of your forms. The Free plan includes one form, and Creator and Growth are unlimited. See Let readers subscribe by email.

• Powered by Drry. The footer link shows on the Free plan, as it does on your other pages.

Check What each plan includes for the current plans.

What counts toward your storage

• Pictures in your posts: covers, images, gallery photos, bookmark pictures and author photos. Taking a picture out of a post does not delete the file: it still counts until you delete it in Settings, then Storage, where it shows as unused once the post no longer shows it. Deleting the post frees all its pictures.

• Pictures copied in by an import, and pictures copied into an email when you use Email this post.

• Words cost nothing.

See Storage: what counts and what does not.

What counts toward your emails

An email to your subscribers, or to members and contacts, counts toward your plan's emails like any broadcast, one for each person who receives it. Writing, publishing and scheduling a post do not count. See Your send allowance.
