Pricing guidance for comedians choosing clips, posts, source minutes, and analytics.
Punchline Poster V2 moves away from leading with broad project counts. The public plan story is content credits for clips and promos, version credits for iteration, source minutes for Set-to-Clips, and post allowance for publishing.
Pricing built for comedians who need clips, captions, posts, and performance tracking.
Use content credits for 2-minute AI clips, ready clips, and promo posts. Keep AI renders capped, but get more flexibility from versions, scheduling, source minutes, and tracked-post analytics.

Model 2-minute AI clips, ready clips, promo posts, versions, source minutes, scheduled posts, connected accounts, and advanced AI actions before choosing a plan.
Not every comedy content item costs the same to make.
2-minute AI clips are the heavier workflow because they include analysis, reframing/editing, initial captions, and rendering. Ready clips, image promos, text promos, versions, source minutes, and posts are tracked in the bucket that matches the work they use.
2-minute AI clip
3 content credits
AI analysis, reframing/editing, render work, and initial captions for a source clip up to about 2 minutes.
Ready clip upload
1 content credit
You bring the cut; Punchline Poster helps package, caption, post, and track it.
Image or text promo
1 content credit
Useful for show flyers, lineup posts, and non-render promo content.
Project version
1 version credit
Versions are separate so editing iterations do not feel like brand-new projects.
Set-to-Clips source analysis
Source minutes
Long sets use source minutes before selected clips consume content credits.
Scheduled or published post
1 post allowance
Posting is tracked separately from content creation.
AI thumbnails and caption regeneration
Premium AI allowance
Advanced caption/thumbnail paths are bounded on supported plans.
Basic month
5 2-minute AI clips = 15 credits, 3 ready clips = 3 credits, and 3 promo posts = 3 credits. That uses all 21 content credits without pretending every item costs the same.
Creator month
8 2-minute AI clips = 24 credits, 10 ready clips or promos = 10 credits, plus source minutes for one long set and 80 posts for a consistent month.
Show week
A higher-output week can mix long-set analysis, ready crowdwork clips, scheduled posts, and tracked performance without making every idea a full render.
When each comedian should choose each V2 plan path
The right plan depends on whether your bottleneck is 2-minute AI clip creation, ready clip posting, long-set analysis, connected accounts, or tracked performance.

Upgrade Signals
Upgrade when a specific bucket blocks the workflow
You are out of content credits
2-minute AI clips use 3 content credits because they include AI analysis, reframing/editing, initial captions, and rendering. Ready clips and promo posts use 1 credit, so upgrade decisions should start with the kind of content you are making.
You need source minutes
Set-to-Clips uses source minutes before selected child clips use content credits. Creator is the first V2 plan designed around long-set analysis.
You need deeper tracking
Tracked-post analytics help you see which jokes, premises, and posting windows perform. Pro and Premium focus on deeper analytics and heavier scheduling workflows.
Pricing FAQ
Pricing FAQ for comedians
These answers explain the V2 credit model, simulated billing, Basic scheduling wording, Set-to-Clips source minutes, and simulated usage-pack grants.
What is a content credit?
A content credit is the V2 allowance used for clip and promo creation. A 2-minute AI clip uses 3 content credits because it bundles AI analysis, reframing/editing, render work, and initial captions. Ready clip uploads, image promos, and text promos use 1 content credit each.
Why not just use projects?
A 2-minute AI render, a ready clip, a show flyer, a text promo, and a version do not cost the same to create. Credits make the plan feel larger without giving away the most expensive workflow on every content item.
How many 2-minute AI clips can I make?
Tester includes up to 1 2-minute AI clip, Open Mic includes up to 3, Basic includes up to 6, Creator includes up to 12, Pro includes up to 25, and Premium includes up to 40, assuming all content credits are spent on 2-minute AI clips.
Do ready clips use fewer credits?
Yes. Ready clip uploads use 1 content credit because you already bring the cut. That keeps plans useful for comedians who already have crowdwork, podcast, or show clips ready to package and post.
Do project versions use content credits?
No. V2 treats versions as a separate monthly version allowance so edits and iteration do not feel like brand-new content projects.
Does Basic include scheduling?
Yes. The V2 Basic plan includes capped scheduling and publishing within its 30-post monthly allowance during simulated billing.
What is Set-to-Clips source time?
Set-to-Clips uses source minutes for long-set analysis. Selected child clips then use content credits like 2-minute AI clips. Creator is the first V2 plan with included source minutes.
Are usage packs available?
Yes, usage packs are available as simulated grants. They increase the current month's V2 quota immediately, but no payment is charged and they must not be treated as revenue-backed purchases.
Are founder prices permanent?
Founder prices are display prices during simulated billing. They help test plan positioning before Paystack is enabled and should not be treated as a real charged amount.
What happens if I run out?
The upgrade prompt should name the bucket you ran out of: content credits for clips and promos, version credits for versions, source minutes for Set-to-Clips, post allowance for scheduling and publishing, or premium AI allowance for advanced AI actions.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. During simulated billing you can switch plans without entering payment details. The new plan's base allowance updates for the current quota month while used and reserved usage is preserved.
Is Premium $99 or $129?
Premium is modeled at a $129/month list price. The $99/month founder price is a simulated early display price while usage and payment setup are monitored.
What analytics are included?
Tracked-post analytics are included for posts published through Punchline Poster. Creator and Pro expand tracked-post depth, while Premium is positioned for the highest tracked analytics and account/post insight workflow.
How are yearly savings shown?
Yearly savings are computed from the actual rounded yearly price. If the rounded price is not exactly a 15% discount, the copy says about instead of claiming an exact discount.
