Getting the Most Out of Your Free Plan

Maximize your free Planner.coach account with tips on staying under limits, using AI efficiently, and making the most of every feature.

2 min readUpdated May 23, 2026

Tips to maximize your account

Use the AI to generate drills efficiently. A detailed prompt like "Create a 10-minute 4v2 possession drill for U14 soccer with a diagram" produces a ready-to-use activity in one step. Being specific avoids follow-ups that burn extra credits.

Browse community templates. Before creating from scratch, check the community library. Other coaches share drills across dozens of sports -- save one to your library and customize it without spending credits.

Favorite your best activities. Mark top drills as favorites so you find them fast when building sessions. Every activity slot counts on a free account.

Archive old content. When you hit a limit, archive sessions or activities you no longer need. Archiving frees the slot while keeping your data intact.

Start fresh AI conversations. Longer threads cost more credits per message. When you switch topics, start a new conversation to keep costs low.

What happens when you hit a limit

You won't lose any data. Existing activities, sessions, and athletes stay fully accessible -- you just can't create new ones until you archive something or upgrade. AI credits reset automatically each billing cycle.

What Pro and Club add

If you decide to move beyond the free plan, here's what each tier unlocks:

Pro raises the athlete cap to 50 and removes the activity, session, and calendar-event caps entirely. It adds training programs (the free plan has none), recurring calendar events, email reports, athlete intake forms, and 10,000 AI credits a month.

Club removes the athlete cap entirely and adds multi-coach teams with role-based permissions, the team compliance dashboard for safeguarding, and 20,000 AI credits a month.
