Each user has a monthly limit on the number of brands they can spy on, based on their subscription plan. Here's how it works:
Each brand you follow this month counts toward your monthly spying limit.
At the start of a new billing cycle, any brands you left active will continue to be tracked and will count toward your limit for the new month.
If you deactivate a brand before the next cycle, it won’t be tracked in the following month, freeing up space for new brands.
Example: A user with a 20-brand limit per month spies on 20 brands this cycle. If they deactivate 10 brands from being tracked next month, their next billing cycle starts with 10 free slots available for new brands.
⚡ Pro Tip: Regularly review your followed brands to optimize your tracking and ensure you're focusing on the most relevant competitors!
