Pricing

Pay for disk + the options you turn on

Monthly site cost matches Site Options in the app: disk plan price + a fixed use charge for each paid feature you enable. Free options stay free. No checkout on this page yet — we set communities up with you.

How the monthly total works

One line of math, same as the Site Options screen.

Total monthly charge = disk plan + Obituaries (if on) + Public Notices (if on) + Classified Ads (if on) + AI Assistant (if on)

Core newsroom tools — front page, sections, calendar, sponsors, wallets, reporter/editor desks — come with the site. They are not separate LocalFocus use charges.
