Who each plan is for

Free

The Free plan gives you the full browser-based editor indefinitely. You can draw routes, place stops, build timetables, author GTFS-Flex zones, validate against the spec, and export a spec-clean GTFS .zip to host anywhere yourself. No account is required to use the editor; create a free account to save up to three feeds in the cloud and sync them across devices. Demand Dots (a nationwide transit-propensity heatmap) and system-level service summaries are available to all users at no charge.

The Free plan is the right fit for: individuals learning GTFS, small agencies that self-host their feed, state DOT staff who need to review a feed without a subscription, and anyone evaluating GTFS·X before committing.

Pro $49/mo

Pro adds Premium Feed Management: your feed gets a stable public URL at feeds.gtfsx.com/<slug>/gtfs.zip that you hand to Google Transit, the Mobility Database, trip planners, and regulators. Re-publishing atomically updates that URL. Pro also unlocks a rider-facing mini-site, iframe embed widgets (route map, system map, stop departures), draft/review links for stakeholder sharing before you publish, one-click Mobility Database registration, and named snapshot history for version management. Custom brand color applies to your published embeds. Embeds at this tier display a "Powered by GTFS·X" badge.

Pro is the right fit for: small agencies that need a stable hosted feed and a rider-facing embed for their website but don't need route-level analysis or team collaboration.

Agency $299/mo

Agency adds the full route-planning suite on top of everything in Pro. Per-route demographic coverage analysis pulls population, households, and workers from ACS block-group data. Route operating cost estimation computes revenue hours, peak vehicles, and weekly and annual operating cost from your timetable. Title VI equity analysis implements the FTA Circular 4702.1B methodology to compare service levels across minority and low-income populations. Stop analysis flags over-spaced and under-spaced stops, consolidation candidates, service intensity, and accessibility gaps. Street-network walksheds replace straight-line buffers with real walking-time isochrones (Mapbox), so coverage numbers respect rivers, freeways, and the actual street grid. Scenario analysis lets you save named route-visibility sets and instantly re-scope every analysis panel to a subset of routes. GTFS-Realtime Service Alerts authoring lets you publish detours, delays, and stop closures to a live feed without republishing the schedule.

Agency also unlocks organization workspaces: create a shared org, invite unlimited team members with per-person roles (Owner, Admin, Editor, Viewer), move feeds between personal and org workspaces, and upload a custom org logo. Embeds and mini-sites are fully white-labeled (no GTFS·X badge). Consultants can belong to multiple client orgs simultaneously from a single Agency subscription. A 14-day free trial applies (card required).

Agency is the right fit for: transit agencies with planning staff, regional planning organizations, consulting firms working across multiple client agencies, and state DOTs coordinating local networks.

Enterprise Custom

Enterprise is a negotiated arrangement for state DOTs, RTAP networks, and large consortiums that need custom feed and seat limits, a service-level agreement, and contract terms via purchase order or invoice. All Agency features are included. Snapshot limits are higher (200 per project vs. 50) and the maximum feed state size is larger (200 MB vs. 100 MB).
