Plans and limits
What Starter and Pro each include, what happens when you reach a Starter limit, and what changes when you move from Pro to Starter.
Scanz has two self-serve plans. Starter gives you real-time data and the whole scanning workflow, with one saved setup of each kind. Pro removes those limits and adds Alerts and several scans open at once. This page shows exactly where the line sits, so you can pick the plan that matches how you trade.
Starter vs Pro
| Starter | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $89/month, or $890/year | $199/month |
| Web, desktop, and mobile web | Yes | Yes |
| Saved Data scans | 1 | Unlimited |
| Saved Signal scans | 1 | Unlimited |
| Saved News scans | 1 (All News) | Unlimited |
| Watchlists | 2, up to 20 symbols each | Unlimited |
| Saved layouts | 1 | Unlimited |
| Scan windows open at once on desktop | 1 | Several |
| Switching a filter off without deleting it | - | Yes |
| Custom data columns | Yes | Yes |
| Alerts | - | Unlimited |
Both plans use the same scanners, the same filters, and the same templates in Discover. The difference is how many setups you can keep and how many you can watch at once.
What happens at a limit
When you reach a Starter limit, Scanz doesn’t create the new item. It opens an upgrade prompt that compares Starter and Pro, so you can upgrade on the spot or close it and carry on with what you have.
| You try to | On Starter |
|---|---|
| Create a second Data scan, Signal scan, or News scan | The upgrade prompt opens. Your one scan on each scanner stays fully editable. |
| Use a template from Discover | The template replaces your one scan on that scanner. Scanz asks you to confirm first. |
| Create a third watchlist, or add a 21st symbol to a watchlist | The upgrade prompt opens. |
| Create a second layout | The upgrade prompt opens. You can still rename and resave the layout you have. |
| Open a second scan window on desktop | Scanz doesn’t open it. It names the scan window that’s already open and offers to swap to the new one. |
| Switch a filter off with the switch on its chip | The upgrade prompt opens. The switch stays visible; to drop a condition on Starter, delete the filter. |
News on Starter. All News is your one news view, and it accepts filters: add stock filters, news types, and headline keywords to it directly. See the News Scanner guide.
Ask Scanz on Starter. The in-app AI assistant creates a scan for you only when you don’t have a scan of that kind yet.
Moving from Pro to Starter
- Click the Scanz logo (top-left) and choose Manage Subscription.
- Click Change Plan and pick Starter.
- Read the confirmation. It lists what you lose on Starter, including Alerts, filter toggles, several scans open at once, and extra watchlists and layouts.
- Confirm the change.
If you have two or more scans on the same scanner, Scanz then asks you to choose the one to keep on that scanner, or to start fresh. Your folders are kept.
Moving from Starter to Pro
Upgrade from the upgrade prompt when you reach a limit, or go to the Scanz logo → Manage Subscription → Change Plan and pick Pro. Pro unlocks unlimited saved scans, watchlists, and layouts, plus Alerts and several scan windows at once.
