Most of these tools do one job. Omne puts research, saving, writing with AI, planning and selling in one workspace, so what you find sits next to what you make. You also bring your own AI account, so you choose the model and see the bill. Some of those jobs are further along than others, as the [full FAQ](@faq) sets out. ### Is Omne the right choice for everyone? No. If one tool already covers everything you need, keep it. A specialist will also go deeper than Omne on its one job for some time yet. Omne suits people juggling a stack of separate tools who want them in one place. ### Who is Omne for? Creators, founders, and the teams and agencies working with them, especially anyone who publishes regularly and sells something of their own. ### Does Omne cost less than the tools it replaces? That depends on which tools it can replace for you today. Creator is listed at $29 a month and Pro at $79, against a stack that often costs more. Since selling and email haven't opened yet, count only the jobs Omne does now. The [pricing page](@pricing) has every plan. ### Who writes these comparisons? Omne does, so read them knowing that. Each one aims to say what the other tool does well and who should choose it. The detailed pages are still being written, so for now each card says what the tool does. ### Do I have to replace all my tools at once? No. Start with what's ready, such as research and your library, and keep your current store, email tool and scheduler for now. You can move each job across when Omne can do it. ### Can I bring my things across from another tool? Not with an importer yet: importing is marked soon in Settings. You can connect sync sources today, such as RSS and Readwise, and save posts with the browser extension. The [FAQ](@faq) lists every source and where it stands. ### Can Omne work alongside my current tools? Yes. The catalogue lists more than 240 services you can connect, and Ask AI can use those that bring tools, such as accounts connected through MCP. About 50 are marked soon, and they're still being proven one by one. ### Can I try Omne for free? Once you're in. Omne's private beta opens soon and sign-up is by invitation until then. The Free plan has no deadline and needs no card. [Send a message](https://omne.so/compare#support) to ask for access. ### Does Omne post to social platforms like a scheduler does? Not yet for most of them. Automatic posting runs for Skool, and Medium posts through the extension. Bluesky and Mastodon come next, while Instagram, Facebook, Threads and LinkedIn are waiting on those companies' reviews. Keep your scheduler for now. ### How do I get paid when I sell with Omne? Through your own Stripe account: each sale is charged directly on it, and Stripe pays out to your bank. Checkout hasn't opened yet, so Omne can't take a sale today. You can already set up products, prices and coupons. ### Does Omne include its own AI? Not yet. Ask AI runs on an AI account you connect, from more than 20 providers. Omne's own AI, paid from the credits on the [pricing page](@pricing), is still being built.
