Inbox Agent pricing 2026: plans, trial and the price jumps

Inbox Agent pricing at a glance (checked November 2026)

Starter at $129 suits creators closing under $2,000 a month, Pro at $349 suits those closing $2,000 or more, and Elite at $599 fits those at $6,000 or more. The same 14-day trial comes first on every plan¹. These prices were checked on getinboxagent.com on 2026-11-05. The site lists monthly prices only.

One thing to flag: the iPhone App Store listing says new users get a 14-day trial and then pay $349 a month, which differs from the $129 Starter price on the website. The only in-app purchase shown on that listing is "InboxAgent Monthly $349.00"². Check the checkout price before you confirm, and read the App Store subscription sheet if you subscribe through the iPhone app.

How Inbox Agent sets your price: it rises with the deals you close

You don't pick a plan. It tracks your closed deals, and Inbox Agent says your price doesn't go up if it isn't closing deals for you¹.

When your trial ends, you're placed on the plan that matches what you closed during it. A later month can move you up. You're notified before a higher price is charged, and the new price applies from your next charge³.

Moving down is allowed too. You can drop to any lower plan you qualify for at any time, and the downgrade takes effect at the end of the billing period. Creators who subscribed under an earlier plan or price keep it while their subscription stays active³.

The jump between tiers is sharp. Closing $1,999 monthly puts you on the $129 Starter plan, which is 6.5% of that closed value. Closing $2,000 lands you on Pro at $349, or 17.4%. That gap is big.

One more dollar of deals adds $220 a month. The ladder looks like this:

Ask support one question before your trial bills. The plan counts deals you accept in the app, while the same terms say no brand is guaranteed to pay you³. So ask how a deal that's accepted but never paid counts toward your tier.

Using Inbox Agent's own numbers: the homepage says its average closed deal is $955, and that's the company's own marketing figure, not independently checked¹. At that size, two deals a month is $1,910, which lands on Starter for $129 (6.8%). Three deals is $2,865 and Pro for $349 (12.2%). Seven is $6,685, so Elite at $599 (9.0%).

What the subscription covers, and what it doesn't

The subscription covers the AI replying to brand emails, negotiating at your rates and closing deals, plus finding old deals buried in your Gmail. Each deal it closes comes with a signed agreement sent to you and the brand. A newly released feature has the AI ask brands for higher commission during negotiations¹. For a fuller picture of how this kind of tool handles your inbox, read how an AI manager handles your brand emails.

It doesn't cover collecting payment, because Inbox Agent isn't a party to your agreement with the brand, doesn't guarantee brands will pay and doesn't process brand payments³. On the two higher plans, the AI pushes brands to pay a deposit before you film¹. If a brand goes quiet after your posts are live, the steps in what to do when a brand hasn't paid you still apply.

On control: by agreeing to the terms, you let it send emails in your name without reviewing each message first. Final approval of any deal stays with you³. Starter adds one more check: you approve each outreach pitch before it goes out¹.

You must be at least 18 to use Inbox Agent³.

On money rules, you can cancel from your account page, and cancelling takes effect immediately: the AI stops replying to brands and your inbox is disconnected from Inbox Agent. Payments are non-refundable, with no credits for partial months or accounts that forgot to cancel, unless the law requires a refund or the company chooses to give one³. If you don't want to be billed, cancel before day 14.

Inbox Agent vs CLOSR vs Rateful: what each costs

All prices below were checked on 2026-11-05. The main differences are how your tier is set, whether there's a refund guarantee and who handles the brand's payment.

Inbox Agent's strengths: Starter lets you approve every pitch, each deal gets a signed agreement, and the two higher plans push brands for deposits and set rates across multiple accounts¹.

CLOSR's strengths are a conditional 2-month guarantee that refunds only the difference⁵, and the promise that you never move down a plan. A single busy month doesn't raise your price. You move from Starter to Growth only if CLOSR closes over $2,000/mo for you across 60 days⁴, and you get 14 days' notice.

CLOSR's step from Starter to Growth is $270 more per month.

Rateful works differently. Each creator gets a handle@rateful.ai deals address, brands email it and Sam, the AI manager, answers, so no Gmail connection is involved. Sam negotiates to the rate card you set and sends the brand a written agreement.

Rateful has a Free plan where each reply waits for your approval, plus Pro at $49 a month and Scale at $149 a month with unlimited pitches. There's no trial, and Free is the only plan that costs nothing. Every creator gets 10 free brand pitches.

Payouts go to your Stripe account. They're US-only for now.

On a $2,000 month: Inbox Agent costs you $349 on Pro. CLOSR comes to $399 for the month if your closed volume puts you on its Growth plan. On Rateful you pay $0, $49 or $149 and keep the full $2,000, while the brand adds about 5% in booking protection, about $100, for about $2,100 total.

The costs fall on different people, so compare like with like. For the feature-by-feature breakdown, see the full Rateful vs Inbox Agent comparison.

Which plan or tool fits you

Two things drive the choice: your monthly closed deal value, and how much control you want over outreach. Under $2,000 a month, with approval over every pitch, the $129 Starter plan fits. Past $2,000, Pro adds deposits and automated outreach. Running several accounts with different rates per account is Elite territory¹.

If a refund guarantee matters to you, CLOSR offers a limited one that refunds only the difference, and it excludes subscriptions started under the pay-on-close offer⁵. If you want no Gmail connection and a deposit released before you film, Rateful does that on your own deals.

Before your trial ends, do four things:

1. Look at the price on the checkout screen, especially if you signed up in the iPhone app, where the listing shows $349².
2. Set your rates first by filling in a rate card template before any AI negotiates for you.
3. Put a reminder in your phone for day 13, because payments after the trial aren't refunded¹³.
4. Ask support whether an accepted deal that goes unpaid still counts³.

No tool promises your earnings. What gets closed depends on your rates and which brands say yes.
