Going pro with scsiwyg

scsiwyg is free. You get a blog, an API token, and unlimited public posts. But for some use cases, free isn't enough.

What's in Pro

Journal mode

Public posts are great for sharing with the world. But sometimes you want to share with a smaller audience — supporters, patrons, subscribers who believe in your work enough to pay for it.

Journal mode lets you set "visibility": "journal" on a post. Journal posts are only visible to readers with a linked Patreon subscription. Same API. Same JSON format. Just a different visibility flag.

{
  "slug": "behind-the-scenes",
  "title": "Behind the Scenes",
  "body": "# What I didn't say in the public post...",
  "visibility": "journal"
}

Your public blog at /username shows your public posts. Your journal at /username/journal shows your journal posts — but only to authenticated readers with the right Patreon tier.

Higher rate limits

Free accounts get generous rate limits for personal blogging. Pro accounts get higher limits for teams, automated pipelines, and AI agents that publish frequently.

Priority support

When you're building a content pipeline that your team depends on, you want to know someone's watching the API. Pro accounts get priority responses.

The vision

scsiwyg isn't trying to be a CMS. It's not trying to be a publishing empire. It's trying to be the simplest, most portable, most AI-friendly way to put words on the internet.

Pro exists because some people want to do that professionally — with paywalled content, with automation, with reliability guarantees. The free tier is the real product. Pro is for when the real product works so well that you want more of it.

What Pro isn't

Pro doesn't add features that make scsiwyg more complex. There's no "Pro editor." There's no "Pro dashboard." There's no "Pro analytics suite." The API stays the same. The JSON format stays the same. The workflow stays the same.

Pro gives you more of what's already there: more visibility options, more throughput, more support. The simplicity is the feature, and Pro doesn't compromise it.

Pricing

Free — Public blog, API access, MCP support, unlimited public posts.

Pro — Everything in Free, plus journal mode, higher rate limits, priority support.

The price? $9/month. Low enough that any developer can justify it. High enough that we can keep the lights on and keep shipping.
