Each plan has limits on monthly generations, tracked competitors, and brands. Growth includes 30 generations per month, 5 competitors, and 1 brand. Scale includes 100 generations per month, 20 competitors, and 5 brands. Agency includes 400 generations per month with unlimited competitors and brands. Usage resets monthly and you can track it from your dashboard.
