Rate limits
Usage limits and quotas by subscription tier.
Tiers
| Feature | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications | 100 lifetime | 1,000 per month |
| Applications | 3 | 10 |
| Quota reset | Never | 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC |
Free tier
The free tier gives you 100 notifications total — not per month, but across the lifetime of your account. Once you reach 100 you need to upgrade to Pro to continue sending notifications.
Free is enough to test the API, build a prototype, or run a low-volume personal project.
Pro tier
Pro gives you 1,000 notifications per month, up to 10 applications, and resets automatically on the 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC.
Pro costs $2.99 / month. See pricing.
Checking your usage
Open the iOS app and go to the Applications screen. Two stat cards show your current usage:
- Messages sent — current usage vs your limit (e.g. "42 of 100 lifetime" or "150 of 1,000 per month")
- Applications created — how many apps you've created vs your maximum
Tap the Messages sent card to see a detailed breakdown including reset date and countdown for Pro users.
Rate limit API response
When you exceed your limit the API returns a 429 status:
{
"success": false,
"error": "Monthly message limit exceeded",
"limit": 1000,
"received": 1000
}
Handle this in your code so a rate limit doesn't cause unexpected failures in your scripts or applications.
