Add-on: more prompts
A prompt pack adds 25 tracked prompts to any plan for €25 per month. Packs can be combined, so the allowance grows in steps of 25.
What counts as a tracked prompt?
A tracked prompt is one question that Tonecast asks the AI engines on a schedule, in one language. The same question in Italian and in French counts as two tracked prompts, because the answers, the competitors named and the sources behind them differ by language. Only the active prompts of running campaigns count towards the limit; paused campaigns and drafts do not.
A run (or sample) is one execution of a prompt on one engine. Asking the same prompt several times a month is what makes the rates reliable: answers vary between runs, and Tonecast reports each rate with its confidence interval.
What does "source history" mean?
AI answers have no archive: yesterday's answer cannot be retrieved today, so Tonecast samples answers from the day a campaign is activated. The sources are different. When you set a campaign start date in the past, Tonecast reconstructs the source graph for that period (news, discussions and videos by date, archived versions of your own pages), up to the number of months your plan includes.
What happens if I go over my plan?
Nothing is deleted and nothing is hidden. Limits are checked only when something would grow: activating a campaign, adding prompts, adding a workspace. If a new campaign would go over the limit, it waits until there is room, and Tonecast tells you which limit and by how much. You keep reading all the data you already have. You can pause a campaign, add a prompt pack or upgrade at any time.
Why is there no free trial?
Every answer Tonecast samples is a paid call to an engine's official API, so a free trial would be paid for by other customers. Instead, the public demo shows every screen on fictitious brands, with no account and no card. The Essential plan is the low-cost way to try Tonecast on your own subject.
Pricing questions
How much does Tonecast cost?
Essential costs €29 per month, Starter €79, Pro €249 and Agency €549. Billed yearly, the same plans cost €278, €758, €2,390 and €5,270 per year, which is 20% less. Prices are in euro, VAT excluded where it applies.
Is there a free trial or a free plan?
No. Every sampled answer has a real cost. The public demo is free, needs no account and shows every screen on fictitious brands.
How are prompts counted?
Per language: one question tracked in Italian and French counts as two tracked prompts. Only active prompts of running campaigns count.
Can I buy more prompts without changing plan?
Yes. A prompt pack adds 25 tracked prompts for €25 per month, on any plan.
What happens if I exceed a limit?
Nothing is deleted. A new campaign that would exceed the limit waits until there is room; you can pause another campaign, add a prompt pack or upgrade.
Which plan is right for an agency?
The Agency plan: 10 workspaces under one company account, one per client, each with its own members and roles, 200 tracked prompts and 30 active campaigns.
