We're Changing How Tiny Shops Is Priced#
Today we're rolling out usage-based pricing. Instead of guessing which feature bucket you fall into, your plan is built around one number that actually reflects how much value your store gets from Tiny Shops: your active contacts — the customers you can reach and sell to.
As part of this, the legacy Free tier is being retired. Every store now runs on one of three paid plans, and every feature — broadcasts, the AI agent, customization, multiple seats — is included in all of them. No more hunting for which capability is locked behind a "Pro-only" badge.
The New Plans#
You pay a base price that covers a generous block of included contacts, and only pay more when you actually grow past it. Overage is billed in blocks on top of the base — so your bill tracks your business, not a feature checklist.
| Plan | From (monthly) | From (yearly) | Contacts included | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $14.99/mo | $11.99/mo | 3,000 | $5 per extra 1,000 |
| Pro ⭐ | $49/mo | $39/mo | 10,000 | $8 per extra 5,000 |
| Scale | $149/mo | $119/mo | 50,000 | $10 per extra 10,000 |
Pay yearly and the base price drops on every tier. The most popular choice is Pro — it's the sweet spot for stores that are actively broadcasting and growing an audience.
What This Means for Your Store#
New stores start on a built-in trial and pick a plan before going live. Nothing changes about how you set up — you just choose a tier when you're ready.
Existing free stores get a 7-day transition window to choose a plan. During that window everything keeps working exactly as it does today. After the window, a store without an active plan will see a full-screen Choose Plan screen and stay locked until a plan is active.
Your settings and billing pages stay reachable the whole time — so even after the window, you're always one click away from picking a plan and unlocking your store. Nothing is deleted; your products, orders, and customers are waiting for you the moment you're back on a plan.
Why We're Doing This#
A flat free tier sounds friendly, but in practice it forced us to lock real features away to make paid plans worth it — which meant the people just getting started hit walls exactly when they were trying to grow.
Usage-based pricing flips that. Every store gets every feature from day one. A brand-new store with a handful of contacts pays the Starter base and nothing more. A store reaching tens of thousands of customers pays in proportion to the reach it's getting. The price scales with the value, not with an arbitrary feature gate.
