## Which pricing model applies to your subscription?

The **older plan names, amounts and quotas quoted below are historical examples**, not the terms of the new pricing grid. A marketing name alone does not identify your offer. Check your subscription and its terms before applying an example.

A new per-slot Starter / Pro / Business offer includes **300 / 500 / 700 messages per account per month**, and **5 / 10 / 15 pipelines per account**. Included message quotas are isolated by account. The new grid caps **purchased slots at 5 / 10 / 15**. These rules apply to the corresponding new offer and do not reduce previously granted historical rights.

The base amount of a per-slot offer is the unit price for the period × purchased slots, with any discounts, prorated amounts, credits and taxes shown on the invoice. It is not calculated from connected accounts alone. For your exact prices and limits, check your subscription and the plans article.

## Available pipelines by plan

Number of pipelines you can create depends on your subscription plan:

| Plan | Available pipelines |
|------|---------------------|
| **Starter** | 3 pipelines |
| **Essential** | 10 pipelines |
| **Advanced** | 25 pipelines |

---

## Global quota (shared Facebook / Instagram)

Pipelines are not linked to a specific network. Your quota is **global** and shared between Facebook and Instagram.

**Concrete examples:**

**If you have 10 pipelines:**
- You can create **8 Facebook pipelines + 2 Instagram pipelines**
- Or **5 Facebook pipelines + 5 Instagram pipelines**
- Or **10 Facebook pipelines + 0 Instagram pipeline**

||| If you create 10 pipelines on Facebook, you **can't create more on Instagram** until you delete some.

| Note: Today, **pipeline = tag**. Creating pipeline automatically applies tag with same name.

## Organization best practices

### Recommendations to optimize your pipelines

**To avoid exhausting your pipelines too quickly:**

**1. Use "by objective" pipelines**
- ✅ Example: "Prospects", "Customers", "Partners"
- ❌ Avoid: "Monday campaign", "Tuesday campaign", etc.

**2. Avoid creating pipeline per micro-campaign**
- ✅ Rather use **stages** to structure tracking
- ✅ One "Q1 Prospecting" pipeline with stages "Contacted", "Conversation", "Follow-up"
- ❌ Avoid: Pipeline per day or per week

**3. Use stages for progression**
- Stages allow tracking progress without multiplying pipelines
- Move contacts between stages as you progress

## FAQ

**What happens if I reach my pipeline limit?**

You can't create new pipelines until you delete some. You'll need to delete existing pipeline to free up space.

**Can I change plan to have more pipelines?**

Yes. By upgrading to higher plan, you **immediately** unlock more pipelines.

**If I delete a pipeline, do I get the space back?**

Yes. Deleting pipeline **immediately** frees up space in your quota.

**Do contacts count in quota?**

No. Quota only concerns **number of pipelines**, not number of contacts. You can have as many contacts as you want in your pipelines.

**Does contact in multiple pipelines count multiple times?**

No. A contact can be in multiple pipelines without impacting quota. Quota only concerns number of created pipelines.
