Plans, allowance and models

One number: product improvements

Each plan includes a number of product improvements per billing period. That is the only thing counted. One improvement is one run of Improve with AI on one product: the description, the titles, the category and the category field suggestions together. Scoring your products is included and does not use the allowance, however many you look at, because scoring is the cheap half of the work and it is what shows you which listings are worth improving in the first place.

The plans

Plan	Improvements per month
Free	10
Core	150
Scale	750
Enterprise	3,000

Every plan has every feature and can use every suggestion model; the plans differ only in how many improvements they include. Prices are shown in Shopify's plan picker, which opens from Change plan (or See plans, before you have picked one) on the Plan and model page, and are billed by Shopify on your Shopify invoice.

What counts, and what does not

Uses the allowance	Included
Generating suggestions for a product (Improve with AI), including the rounds in which the draft is scored and polished before you see it. Regenerating suggestions for the same product uses an improvement each time. Loading category field suggestions after assigning a new category on the improve page.	Scoring a product, however often. The category audit inside a scan. How AI assistants see your product, the shopper questions and their rankings, Try your own search, and tracked questions. Agentic sales. Reviewing, editing, saving and rescanning. A generation that failed or came back unusable is not charged.

Reopening a product you have already scored costs nothing extra: the text verdicts are kept and reused for 30 days while the listing has not changed.

Renewal, running out, changing plan

• Renewal. The allowance renews at the start of each billing period, on the date the Plan and model page shows, and does not carry over. Unused improvements are not added to the next period.
• Running out. When the allowance runs out, suggestions pause until it renews or you move to a larger plan. The app tells you the renewal date. Scoring keeps working, and everything you have already scored and applied stays exactly as it is.
• Upgrading. Moving to a larger plan raises the allowance for the current period immediately, so you can carry on right away.
• Downgrading. The allowance follows the plan immediately in the other direction too, and what you have already used this period still counts, so the remaining allowance can shrink or reach zero until the next renewal.

A separate, much larger ceiling on the included work (scans, the category audit, the shopper questions and their rankings) exists to stop runaway automation, not to limit you. The Plan and model page only mentions it once a store has used most of it, which normal use never does.

Choosing a suggestion model

Octolift runs on several language models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, and every plan can choose any of them on the Plan and model page. Your choice applies to writing suggestions and to nothing else. A model that costs more to run uses more of your allowance per product, so it costs you improvements rather than money; the plan page shows exactly how many each one leaves you before you switch, and marks the ones that can still cover your whole catalogue.

Scoring always runs on the same model for every store, whichever one you pick here. A score is only comparable if one rater produced it: measured on the same listings, models disagree with each other by a wide margin, so a score that changed with your model choice would rewrite your own history and would not mean the same thing as anyone else's.

A more expensive model is not automatically a better one for this task. Switching is free, takes effect on the next generation, and does not change any score you already have. While support is looking into something for you, the model can be temporarily fixed by us; the plan page says so when that is the case.

Billing, trials and cancelling

• Billing is handled by Shopify. Plans are chosen in Shopify's plan picker and appear on your Shopify invoice; Octolift never sees a card number.
• Trials. If the paid plan you pick comes with a trial, the Plan and model page shows when the trial ends and the first charge is taken. The Free plan needs no trial: stay on it as long as you like.
• Changing plan. Change plan on the Plan and model page opens the plan picker. Your allowance follows the new plan immediately, as described above.
• Cancelling. Pick the Free plan to stop paying and keep using the app, or uninstall it. Uninstalling stops all processing immediately and reverts nothing you applied: that content is yours and stays as it is.
