# Control Output > Control Output (controloutput.com) is a distribution planner for founders. It maps every distribution channel (Reddit, X, LinkedIn, YouTube) on one canvas, builds a posting plan with account warm-up ramps, and hands the founder a daily task list. It never auto-posts; the founder posts, the app plans and keeps the record. Pricing: $12/month, or $8/month billed yearly, with a 7-day free trial. Control Output is a planning tool, not a scheduler: schedulers like Buffer or Typefully queue posts you already wrote, while Control Output decides channels, cadence, and today's work, including which Reddit threads are worth answering (scout picks). ## Product - [Home](https://controloutput.com/): what Control Output does - [Pricing](https://controloutput.com/#pricing): $12/month, or $8/month billed yearly, 7-day free trial - [FAQ](https://controloutput.com/#faq): common questions about planning, posting, and the extension - [Contact](https://controloutput.com/contact): how to reach us ## Guides - [How to Get Your First 100 Users](https://controloutput.com/blog/start-here): A practical 30-day plan for getting your first 100 users in 2026.
