Groupie send workflow

The product stays easier to trust when pricing is connected to the send instead of feeling abstract.

Product proof

The pricing page is tied to a real sending workflow

Pricing makes more sense when you can connect it to the actual workflow: build the campaign, see the estimated credits, and understand the send before it goes out.

  • See the sending workflow the plans are actually supporting
  • A clearer connection between campaign setup and credit usage
  • More believable pricing because it matches the product experience
Groupie fan texting conversation

A pricing page should connect back to the actual outcome: timely fan communication that is easier to act on.

Fan-side result

The value is the direct message getting through when it matters

The reason the plans matter is simple: they support a more direct path to fans around shows, releases, merch, and updates that should not get buried.

  • A clearer direct channel for fans who already opted in
  • Support for timely show, release, merch, and update messaging
  • A stronger conversion story because the product value is visible

Core value

Why the pricing page should feel easier to trust than a generic SaaS chart

The plans stay tied to how artists actually send

Monthly credits, message format, and plan differences are structured around real direct-fan communication instead of bloated packaging.

You should be able to understand the send cost before you send

Groupie shows estimated credits before campaigns go out so pricing stays easier to follow in practice.

There is a cleaner path from trying the product to choosing the right plan

The free trial, plan tiers, and add-on credit logic are built to make the next step easier to understand.

How credits work

The pricing is easiest to understand when it stays tied to the send

Groupie shows estimated credits before you send. That matters because message length, emojis, and format can affect usage. SMS uses 1 credit and MMS uses 3 credits under the current plan structure.

  • See the estimated credits before the campaign goes out
  • A cleaner way to understand the send cost in context
  • More confidence around message length and format choices

Plan differences

The plan tiers map to how active the communication needs to be

The differences between plans are not just price points. They also affect things like shared versus dedicated phone numbers, Roll-Over Credits, API & Webhook Access on Crowd Builder and Tour Manager Pro, FanLink, and whether you need multi-artist management.

  • Rising Artist fits simpler early-stage sending
  • Crowd Builder fits more active artist communication and connected workflows
  • Tour Manager Pro fits touring teams that need multi-artist scale and shared credits

Flexibility

There is a clearer path from trial to paid use

Artists can start with a 14-day free trial, choose a plan when the product fit is clear, and add credits when needed. Current paid plans also support Auto Reload.

  • A free-trial path without entering card details
  • The ability to change plans from account settings
  • Extra credit support when campaign volume grows

Trust

Pricing works better when the trust layer stays visible too

Good pricing is not only about monthly cost. It is also about trust. Consent, opt-outs, and healthier sending habits are part of what keeps the channel worth paying for in the first place.

  • STOP is treated as an unsubscribe
  • Opt-in fans create a cleaner long-term list
  • The direct channel stays healthier when relevance and consent stay in view
