# Subscriptions Subscriptions allow creators to control access to their content and build ongoing relationships with their audience. When a creator enables subscriptions, they may choose to restrict certain posts so that only subscribed users can view the full content. Users who are not subscribed will not be able to access subscription-only posts unless they choose to subscribe. Creators have full control over their subscription settings through their profile. This includes the ability to determine whether subscriptions are **free or paid**, as well as setting the **subscription price** if paid subscriptions are enabled. Pricing decisions are made entirely by the creator and can be adjusted over time. Subscriptions apply at the creator level rather than on a per-post basis. Once a user subscribes to a creator, they gain access to all content that the creator has designated as subscription-only during the active subscription period. This system allows creators to monetize high-value content, offer exclusive access to their supporters, and maintain flexibility over how their work is shared, while users can choose which creators they wish to support based on their interests. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
