“Higher plan” means the app offers the feature, only not on the plan shown. An app with fewer plans shows its highest plan at the upper levels.
Monthly prices in the provider's own currency, before tax. Several providers are cheaper when billed yearly. With ContentPilot you either use your own AI key — then your AI provider bills the usage separately — or a plan with AI included.
