Plans and billing
Free trial, Yearly, and one-time Lifetime — plus how pay-to-publish works.
Blog CMS keeps writing free and ties publishing to a plan. Here's exactly how trials, plans, and billing work.
The free trial
Every account starts with a 14-day free trial. During the trial you can do everything, including deploying real posts to your domain. It's the best way to see whether Blog CMS fits before you pay.
Pay-to-publish
The dashboard and writing tools are always free — you can create blogs, write posts, and organize content without paying. What requires a plan is deploying: to publish to your domain, you need an active trial or a paid plan. This is the pay-to-publish model. If your trial ends, your posts stay safe in the dashboard; you just need a plan to deploy again.
Plans
When you're ready to continue past the trial, you have two options:
- Yearly —
$12/mo billed yearly, which works out to$144/yr. A straightforward subscription that keeps publishing active. - Lifetime — a one-time payment for permanent access, with no recurring bill.
Lifetime launch pricing
Lifetime is offered at launch pricing that climbs as slots fill, and it's capped at 100 buyers total:
$99for the earliest buyers.$249as more slots are taken.$399for the final tier.
Once 100 Lifetime slots are gone, the offer closes. If you're considering Lifetime, earlier is cheaper.
Choosing between them
- Pick Yearly if you prefer a low, predictable annual cost.
- Pick Lifetime if you want to pay once and never think about renewals — especially while launch pricing is low.
Both unlock the same publishing capability; the difference is how you pay.
What's included
Every paid plan (and the trial) unlocks deploying to your domain along with the full feature set: cookieless Analytics, Themes, automatic OG images, AI-assisted SEO, sitemaps and robots.txt, Lead capture, and Team and roles.
Managing your billing
You can review and manage your plan from your account settings. Trial status, current plan, and billing details live there.
