Subscription plans are how members join your site. You control the durations, prices, and options — here's how it all fits together.
Plan durations
Plans are organized into groups on the Business → Pricing page:
- Trial — short introductory access: 1, 3, 5, 7, or 14 days.
- 1 Month — the classic monthly membership.
- 3 Months and 6 Months — longer plans, usually at a better per-month rate. When you set the price, you'll see the per-month equivalent (for example "~$16.95/month") so you can sanity-check the deal.
- 1 Year — an annual membership. Suggested price around $199.95.
- Lifetime — one payment, permanent access, no rebills. Suggested price around $499.
Annual and lifetime plans trade recurring revenue for a bigger payment up front — great for your most committed fans, and a strong "best value" anchor next to your monthly price.
Limiting what trial members can watch
Trials attract genuine fans, but also people who binge everything in three days and cancel. On the Pricing page you can control that:
- Toggle Limit trial member access on or off.
- When it's on, set how many scenes a trial member can watch — anywhere from 1 to 100 (1 by default).
Trial members get a real taste of your content, then hit a natural reason to upgrade to a full membership.
How rebilling works
Each plan has an initial price and period, and a rebill price and period. For example, a 3-day trial at $4.95 that rebills at $29.95 every 30 days. Trial plans rebill at your standard monthly rate unless you set something different. Members can cancel any time, and simply keep access until their paid period ends.
Creating a plan
- Go to Business → Pricing and click Create New Subscription Plan.
- Pick the duration, set the initial price and the rebill price. Suggested prices are pre-filled as placeholders to guide you.
- Optionally give the plan a custom name — otherwise it's named by duration ("1 Month", "3 Days", etc.).
- Save. You can enable, disable, or edit plans at any time.
Note: one plan of each tier (standard and premium) can be active per duration group — if you activate a new 1-month plan, it takes the place of the previous one automatically.
Premium tier
You can mark a plan as Premium — a higher tier you can use to gate your most exclusive content. Members on a premium plan get access to everything; standard members see premium content as an upgrade opportunity.
Free registration
There's also an optional Free Registration setting, which lets visitors create a free account without a paid subscription. It's a great way to capture fans who aren't ready to pay yet — you can then convert them with trailers, upcoming content, and special offers.
It works especially well if you sell pay-per-view: fans sign up free and buy individual scenes without ever committing to a membership, which often becomes their first step toward subscribing. See Selling scenes individually (VOD / pay-per-view).
Pricing tips
- Trials convert curious visitors — just make sure your rebill price reflects your content's value.
- Offer at least a monthly and a discounted multi-month option; longer plans reduce churn.
- Keep it simple: two to four visible options usually outperform a wall of choices.
