Tacoma Planet is always free. With that said, to support Tacoma Planet (and to pay the bills), we offer paid subscription plans for end users with some pretty nice perks.
Sponsorship opportunites are also available for businesses looking to reach our highly engaged Tacoma audience. Need your market place listing to stand out? We have one-time purchase upgrades for that too.
Payments are simple:
  • Premium Access: Start or manage your plan on the Premium page.
  • Sponsor plans: If you apply to sponsor, you complete payment when your application is ready.
  • Marketplace upgrades: Options like Featured or Bump are one-time purchases from your listing page.
After payment, your account usually updates quickly. If there is a short delay, refresh the page in a moment and your status should catch up.

Signed-in members can use Direct Messages to send private messages, including multi-recipient sends when enabled. New direct messages trigger an in-app notification and realtime unread bell update for recipients.

No, but if you are an active sponsor, self-promotion is allowed in approved areas, including relevant links and signature visibility. All posts must still follow community standards.
