Plans and quotas
What each plan includes and exactly how the quotas are enforced — pooled prompts, engine slots, the seat cap, cadence, and the one action that frees a prompt slot.
Quotas in MentionFlow are enforced at the workspace level and pooled across all of a workspace's brands. This page documents how each limit actually behaves; for current prices see the pricing page.

How the prompt quota works
The prompt count is pooled across every brand in the workspace and enforced whenever a prompt would be created — manual add, CSV import, accepting a suggestion, promoting a fan-out, or research.
Two states count against the quota: active and paused. Only one action frees a slot:
Archiving a prompt frees its slot. Pausing does not — a paused prompt still holds its slot. This is deliberate: if pausing freed slots you could pause 50, add 50, and resume to run 100 on a 50-prompt plan. Archive to make room; archived prompts keep their history and can be restored or re-imported.
Bulk operations (CSV import, suggestion accept) take a per-workspace lock and re-check the quota inside the write transaction, so two concurrent imports can't both slip past the last slot. Imports are all-or-nothing — if the batch doesn't fit, nothing is written.
Engine slots
An engine slot is one distinct selectable engine used across all of the workspace's monitors, counted in first-seen order. The selectable engines are: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Copilot, DeepSeek, and Mistral.
- Claude and Grok are not selectable slots. Claude runs weekly (Mondays, UTC) on the Scale plan only, because it costs roughly 40× per answer and has a small consumer-search share. Grok ships later as a paid add-on.
- Reusing an engine you already track across another monitor costs no additional slot.
Cadence
Cadence is how often monitors collect:
- 3×/week runs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (UTC).
- Daily collects every day.
First-run banners and empty states are written to match your actual cadence, so you are never told to expect data on a day you won't collect.
Content drafts
The AI content brief/draft generator is metered per UTC calendar month across the workspace. The count resets on the first of the month. Draft generation and brief regeneration both draw from the same monthly allowance, and the meter is checked before the paid model call.
Seats
Team seats are capped per plan (see the table). Invites are single-use, expire after seven days, and never grant the owner role. The last owner of a workspace cannot be removed or demoted. Read-only client viewer seats are available for sharing dashboards without edit rights. See Workspace and members.
What is not plan-gated
Some capabilities are governed by scope or configuration rather than plan tier:
- The v1 API and MCP server are gated by API key scope, not plan. Any workspace with a full-scope key can read its data.
- The Actions board and content briefs are available on every plan (briefs are bounded only by the monthly draft meter).
- All nine markets are available to every plan.
