The Posty5 Free plan is a standing tier rather than a trial that stops after a week. It also has two hard edges worth knowing before you build a workflow on it: the credits reset instead of accumulating, and a handful of features are switched off rather than merely priced.
What the Free plan grants
Free grants credits per month at no cost, and the plan is described as ads supported. Compare the plans.
What credits actually buys
A credit is the platform's unit of cost. Each metered action carries a price in credits, defined per plan, and running the action subtracts that price from your balance. Because the pool is shared, capacity is never stranded inside a feature you do not use: a month spent entirely on store orders and a month spent entirely on short links both draw on the same grant. Compare the plans. See the Page Builder guide for what a builder page involves.
What works with no account at all
Several tools need no account and are never credit-checked when used signed out: the URL Shortener, the QR Code Generator, the WhatsApp Link Generator, Crop Photo and the SEO Tags Extractor. If your need is occasional, that path costs nothing and consumes no balance. Saving a QR code to an account, HTML Hosting, the Page Builder, the Social Media Publisher and the Online Store Builder all require signing in.
What is switched off on Free
Some features are unavailable on Free regardless of balance: a custom landing-page ID for short links, QR codes and hosted pages; Google Sheets sync for hosted pages and builder pages; a custom slug and image upload in the Page Builder; a custom slug and image upload for a store; cloning a product from a link; and AI product content. Image posts, auto-comments after publishing and long-video posts start at Pro. Two things stay free on every plan including Free: SEO data extraction and image cropping.
When it is worth moving up
You can hit the ceiling for two different reasons, and the reason decides the plan. If instead you are blocked by a feature that is switched off, extra credits will not help; check which plan turns it on. Paid plans also carry unused credits into the next period, which Free does not, so an uneven month costs less on a paid tier than the headline numbers suggest. Compare the plans.

Frequently asked questions
Do Free credits roll over?
No. The Free bucket resets at the start of each period. Carry-over applies to paid plans only.
Is the Free plan time-limited?
It is a standing tier rather than a trial, and its credits refresh each period.
Can I build an online store on the Free plan?
Are there ads on the Free plan?
Yes — the plan's own benefit list describes it as ads supported.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Metered actions are refused until the next period. A separate guide explains the two different refusal messages and what each one means.
Which tools can I use without signing up?
The URL Shortener, QR Code Generator, WhatsApp Link Generator, Crop Photo and SEO Tags Extractor all work signed out.
