Mansfield Engineering LLC · ASMS Pricing
Simple, transparent pricing that doesn’t require a board meeting
Most “all-in-one” social tools start in the hundreds per month and scale up quickly with extra seats and profiles.
ASMS keeps things simple: $4.99 per platform per month (Facebook free), self-hosted in your own WordPress,
and 50% of proceeds go directly to Antara Pathways, Inc.
You stay in control · We give half away
How ASMS is billed
- Facebook scheduling: Free (included with the plugin)
- Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn: $4.99 / month / platform
- Pay only for the platforms you actually use.
- Self-hosted in your WordPress – your data, your server, your rules.
→ 3 paid platforms × $4.99 = $14.97 / month
Roughly $7.49 / month goes straight to Antara Pathways, Inc.
On your very first paid month, Mansfield Engineering’s share is also donated – 100% of that initial payment flows to charity. If you’ve had a subscription before, the system will recognize that and won’t re-apply the “first month” promo.
When you’re charged
Your monthly billing date will match the day you complete checkout.
For example, if you subscribe on the 15th, we’ll bill you on or around the 15th of each month.
- Change your platform selections any time.
- Un-selecting a platform marks it to end at your next billing date.
- Cancellation notices and receipts are emailed to the site admin address.
Exact billing provider (e.g., PayPal / Stripe) and checkout flow will be handled through your
secure Mansfield Engineering account and tied to this site’s domain.

1. Price that matches reality
If you’re a solo creator, small team, or nonprofit, hundreds per month for social scheduling
doesn’t make sense. With ASMS, a full four-platform presence (Facebook + 3 paid platforms)
can sit under $15 / month.
2. Self-hosted & WordPress-native
ASMS lives inside your existing WordPress install. No separate dashboard, no extra logins,
and you retain control of your data, logs, and content.
3. Built-in impact
50% of revenue goes to Antara Pathways, Inc., funding grief support,
end-of-life companionship, and stability services for underserved families.
Your marketing budget becomes part of your giving strategy.
