Plans and data access

One shared explanation of what free and paid accounts receive.

Free is one release cycle behind

A free account is useful by design. Continuous sources are delayed by seven days, while quarterly sources expose the previous complete reporting period and earlier. Paid organizations receive current data and deep analytics under $500/month beta pricing.

These rows come from the same source-class catalog used by the query layer. A gated tool call returns visible data plus a short explanation; it is not treated as an authentication failure.

Free accounts can keep up to 25 active follows with daily or weekly delivery. In comment analytics, current overview aggregates can include comments whose underlying text is still inside the seven-day free delay; gated responses label that freshness difference explicitly.
