Membership, made clear

A few things worth knowing.

Keep your focus on the next article. Here’s how the membership options fit around it.

Visit the FAQ
How do I choose a plan?

Compare each plan’s publishing allowance and billing period above. A trial gives you a way to try the workflow; monthly and longer-term options support different writing rhythms.

What does the article allowance cover?

The allowance applies to article submissions, not saved drafts. The current Premium Yearly offer includes 30 submissions per membership month during its 365-day paid period. Its allowance resets on the monthly anniversary of the membership start, using the last day when a month is shorter. Unused allowance does not roll over. Your membership account shows the current window and next reset. Existing purchased plan terms remain attached to those membership periods.

Will submitted articles go live immediately?

Articles follow BlabTab’s existing review process. An active plan gives you submission access within its allowance; it does not bypass review.

Does a monthly plan renew automatically?

Only if you explicitly choose “Auto-renew monthly” at checkout. “Pay this month only” stays one-off. If you cancel auto-renew, future automatic charges stop while your already-paid access remains available through its paid period.

What happens if I do not renew?

Your account and existing content are not automatically deleted because a membership payment is missed. Paid publishing access pauses after the paid period ends, and you can renew from your membership account.

Where do I manage my membership?

Sign in and open Membership from your account navigation. Your current plan, billing choice and the actions available to your account are shown there. For help, contact BlabTab.
