Verbr pricing explained: what's in Free, what's in Pro, and where the limits actually bite
A concrete breakdown of the Free and Pro plans, what counts toward the 500-feedback limit, and when to upgrade.
Verbr has two plans. Free is genuinely usable — most indie apps in their first year never need anything else. Pro simply removes the Free-plan limits. This page explains exactly where the lines are drawn, so you can decide without doing a math problem.
The short version
Free: 1 project, 500 feedback items total, all core features included (voting, comments, email notifications on status change, GitHub Issue integration). Cost: $0.
Pro: unlimited projects, unlimited feedback items. $9 per month, or $79 per year (about 27% off).
What counts toward the 500-feedback limit
Only feedback posts count — not votes, not comments, not changelog entries. If a single feedback item collects 200 votes and 50 comments, it still counts as 1 item against the limit.
Deleted feedback also frees up the slot. If a duplicate gets cleaned up or you remove spam, the limit returns to its previous level.
When you should upgrade to Pro
Most indie developers can run Free indefinitely. You should consider Pro if any of the following is true:
- You're approaching the 500-feedback limit and don't want to start deleting old items just to stay free
- You ship multiple apps (Pro removes the 1-project limit)
- You want to support the project (legitimate reason — Verbr is built by one person and Pro subscriptions keep the lights on)
What happens at the limit
When a Free project reaches 500 feedback items, new submissions are blocked. Existing items remain visible and voting/commenting continues normally. You'll see an in-dashboard warning starting at 80% of the limit, and a separate email warning at 95%.
You can either upgrade to Pro (instant, takes effect on the next request), or clean up old/duplicate items to free up space. Both are valid; Pro is just faster.
Annual vs monthly
Annual ($79/year) is about 27% cheaper than monthly ($9/month × 12 = $108). Switch annually if you're confident you'll use Verbr for the next 12 months. Monthly is fine if you want flexibility — there's no commitment beyond the current month.
FAQ
What if I hit the 500-feedback limit on a Friday and don't want to upgrade immediately?
Existing feedback remains fully usable — voting, comments, status changes all work. Only new submissions are blocked. You can take the weekend to decide between upgrading and cleaning up. No data is lost.
Do votes or comments count toward any limit?
No. Votes and comments are unlimited on both Free and Pro. Only feedback posts count toward the 500-item limit on Free.
Can I move a project between Free and Pro accounts later?
Yes — projects are tied to your account, not to the plan. Upgrading doesn't migrate anything; it just removes the limits. Downgrading keeps the project but enforces Free-plan limits again.
What payment methods does Pro accept?
Major credit cards and any other methods supported by Polar.sh. Billing runs through Polar.sh — the receipt and invoice are sent from there.
Is there a free trial of Pro?
There's no separate trial because Free already covers most use cases indefinitely. Run on Free first and switch to Pro when you actually need to.
