Free vs Pro limits in DoroSocial
Free is for organizing content, creating manual platform drafts, and testing publishing across a limited number of channels. Pro adds AI credits, more brands, more channels, X publishing, a longer scheduling window, and longer source media retention.
Quick answer
Start with Free if you want to organize content and manually prepare posts. Upgrade to Pro when you need AI transcription, AI-generated platform copy, multiple brand workspaces, more connected channels, X publishing, or scheduling beyond tomorrow.

Common questions
Can free users publish with DoroSocial?
Yes. Free users can connect a limited number of supported channels and publish or schedule within free limits. X publishing is Pro-only.
Can free users create manual platform posts?
Yes. Free users can create manual platform post drafts. AI-assisted transcription and AI-generated titles or captions require Pro access and available credits.
Does Pro make posting unlimited?
No. Pro has higher limits, more platforms, and more scheduling room, but DoroSocial still enforces daily limits and platform-side requirements.
What happens when source media expires?
The saved content record can remain, but workflows that need the original media file may be blocked until the user re-uploads the source media.
