What is GM Pro?
A subscription an owner buys for themselves — not something the commissioner buys for the league. It unlocks your own team hype channel, Breakout Radar on your roster, a weekly scouting report on your next opponent, a private Trade Analyzer, free-agent alerts, and the Rivalry Pack. $3.99 a month, or $11.99 per franchise season (that one recurs, renewing every four months).
Does GM Pro work in more than one league?
Yes — it follows you, not a league. If you play in three leagues on FranchiseHuddle, one GM Pro subscription is live in all three: three hype channels, three scouting reports, three rosters on the Radar.
Do I need my commissioner to buy anything first?
No. GM Pro, Story Credits, and the keepsakes are yours to buy from inside the app, on your own account. Your league's own plan is a separate thing the commissioner handles.
Does any of this change my team in the game?
No, and it can't. FranchiseHuddle's connection to your franchise is read-only — it imports what happened and never writes anything back. Breakout Radar tells you a young player has strung big games together and what that qualifies him for under your league's rules; your commissioner decides and applies it in-game, by hand, exactly like any other league reward.
Is the Trade Analyzer a way around my league's trade rules?
No. It is a private read on a deal you are still thinking about — value gap, cap impact, roster fit. It never proposes a trade and never notifies the other owner. To actually make the deal you propose it the normal way, and it goes through your league's usual open, mutual-consent, voted process.
What are Story Credits?
One credit commissions one long-form AI story about a player, team, matchup or rivalry from your league, in one of seven themes — redemption arc, villain origin, dynasty, hometown paper, roast, documentary, or prophecy — written from what actually happened in your league. 3 credits for $2.99, 10 for $6.99. They don't expire, they work with or without GM Pro, and you can gift a story to somebody else in your league.
What are the owner keepsakes?
Print-ready posters generated from your own league's data. The GM Legacy Card ($2.99) is your career as a GM — all-time record, titles, best season, and the head-to-head edge on your rival. The Team Yearbook Poster ($3.99) is your team's season — record and rank, your three best wins, your leading players, and the awards you took home. Each is bought per league.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from the app — GM Pro opens the Stripe billing portal from your add-ons page. Story Credits and keepsakes are one-time purchases, so there is nothing to cancel.
Can somebody buy it for me?
Two ways. A league-mate can gift you a month of GM Pro ($3.99, one-time) or a pack of Story Credits — it lands in your feed with their name on it, and a gifted month simply ends rather than turning into a subscription you have to cancel. Or your commissioner can buy league seats at $1.99 per seat per month and cover everyone at once.
If my commissioner buys seats, do I still need my own GM Pro?
No — a seat gives you GM Pro in that league, and that's the difference worth knowing. A seat your commissioner pays for covers you there; a subscription you buy yourself follows you into every league you play in. If you only play in one league and your commissioner has bought seats, you need nothing.
