Unless you lock free users to TL1 and make paid members be TL2, and then change min trust to send messagses to TL2, you’ll need a plugin to do that.

That’s what what I was suggesting. There are some disadvantages to that solution, but the upside is that you don’t need a plugin.

Since minimum trust level to send PM is a configurable setting and in a normal scenario, TL 4 can’t be achieved automatically ever without someone explicitly granting it, depending on the perks that come with it, You may consider changing those two settings to your liking to make PMs limited to TL4 & above then setting a group to automatically assign TL4 to paid members.

But making new users TL4 is likely to create problems because TL4 members have so many powers.

Instead I would use TL3 (or maybe TL2) because they are more limited. Then make promotion to TL3 a manual task as it is by default for TL4.
