How to set a billing limit on your account
All MailerSend subscriptions include a set email allowance (and for paid plans, SMS). Hobby plans include up to 3,000 emails per month, while Starter and Professional plans include 50,000 emails or more each month, depending on the size of your plan.
If you're account goes over this limit within a billing period, emails will continue to be sent at a metered rate per 1,000 additional emails. For Hobby plans, the price is $1.00 per 1,000 emails; for Starter plans, the price starts at $0.95 per 1,000 emails; and for Professional plans, the price starts at $0.80 per 1,000 emails. The cost per 1,000 emails decreases depending on your plan size.
You can set a limit on how many additional emails or SMSes over your plan's limit you authorize your account to send, giving you more control over your account expenditure. If you reach the billing limit, your transactional messages will stop sending until your next billing period begins and your limits are reset. If you wish for your messages to continue being sent without interruption, it is recommended that you do not set a billing limit.
Check our plans and pricing to see if a larger plan size would better suit your needs.
