Thank you for always using SocialDog.

We are announcing a significant restriction of features available on SocialDog's Lite plan (Free plan) due to the monetization of the Twitter API. We sincerely apologize for this sudden announcement to all our users.

At SocialDog, guided by our product mission to 'create a world where everyone can be a protagonist,' we have always provided numerous features to Lite plan users. However, the post-monetization Twitter API usage fees are extremely high, making it difficult to continue offering the same level of features to Lite plan users. Therefore, despite this difficult decision, we have decided to significantly restrict the features of the Lite plan.

Thank you for utilizing SocialDog's follower management features, keyword monitoring, and more.

For users who wish to continue using the features that are being discontinued on the Lite plan, please consider upgrading to a paid plan.
