Plans and billing
Last updated September 2, 2026
The free trial
Scout has a 7-day free trial: card required, no charge until the week is up. Cancel before then and you pay nothing. You get enough credits to run real lightning rounds and decide whether Pounce earns a place in your day.
In India and Indonesia the checkout is billed on day one instead, with a 7-day refund. See Trying Pounce in India or Indonesia.
The plans
All paid plans include unlimited lightning rounds, replying while a session is paused, and Contacts. The differences are monthly credits and how many accounts you can connect:
- Scout ($39/month) includes 300 credits a month with 1 X and 1 Reddit account. Built for growing your own presence: roughly 30 or more sessions a month
- Hunter ($69/month) includes 750 credits a month and up to 5 connected accounts in any mix, plus priority email support. Built for brands chasing leads and reach
- Apex ($149/month) includes 2,000 credits a month and up to 10 connected accounts, plus priority email support. Built for serious operators and small teams
If you are unsure, start with Scout. A typical 15-minute round uses 5 to 15 credits, so most solo founders fit comfortably inside Scout or Hunter, and you can change plans at any time.
Annual billing
Annual billing is two months free: you pay for ten months and get twelve. Scout works out to $32 a month, Hunter to $57, and Apex to $124. Same plan, same monthly credits, lower total.
Managing your subscription
Everything lives in Settings under Account: upgrade, downgrade, switch between monthly and annual, update your card, view invoices, or cancel. Billing is handled by Lemon Squeezy, our payments partner, and the billing portal opens from that same page.
Plan credits reset each billing cycle, while credits from packs and bonuses stay with you regardless of your subscription; see how credits work. If you cancel, you keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for, and your permanent credits remain after that.
For refunds, see our refund policy.
If your trial or subscription ended
Pounce pauses until you pick a plan again. If you cancelled and the period has not fully run out, you can resume with the card already on file. You keep whatever time is left; it is not a new trial. Otherwise open See plans and subscribe.
If a payment didn't go through
If Pounce asks you to update your card, the last charge failed and the account is paused until billing succeeds. Open the update-card link, re-save your details (the same card is fine), and the charge is retried right away. Once it clears, you are back in.
If you are in India and the saved card never worked, updating it usually fails for the same reason; see below. If you are in Indonesia, switching to a credit card with international payments enabled usually fixes it.
Trying Pounce in India or Indonesia
In India and Indonesia we do not offer a free card trial. Instead, Scout starts at $9 for your first month, then $39 a month, and you can cancel anytime from Settings. Same product and credits as everywhere else; the checkout is just one that actually works there.
The reason is different in each country:
- India. Bank rules only allow a saved card to be billed later if a real, authenticated payment set that up. A $0 card check at the start of a free trial does not, so the charge at the end of the week fails every time. Paying at checkout is what makes later billing possible. If you already started a free card trial from India, Pounce will ask you to complete a payment the next time you open the app.
- Indonesia. There are no such rules, but most Indonesian debit cards refuse charges the merchant starts without an OTP, which is what every renewal is. A credit card with international payments enabled works reliably. If a renewal fails, Pounce pauses your account and asks you to update the card; switching to a credit card usually fixes it.
Refunds follow our normal refund policy.
