A Monthly Active User (MAU) is counted as an active user when they connect to Sendbird servers by using the Client SDK from your application, within the past 30 days. For more information, visit our FAQ.
The Starter plan is designed to get you started quickly with messaging essentials, basic moderation, and analytics capabilities. With Sendbird UIKit, you can build chat in your app in less than 15 minutes.
The Pro plan is designed to help you utilize our latest features, such as message search, message translation, auto-moderation, webhooks, and many more on top of the Starter pack.
The Enterprise plan is able to encompass all features in Pro; it's best suited for companies with large MAUs that need extra security, compliance, and support.
We will inform you before you are getting close to hitting your MAU limit. After you hit your MAU limit, you will be charged an overage fee. When nearing MAU limits, it's recommended you upgrade to the next MAU tier to get better discounts.
You can purchase higher levels of support from within the Sendbird dashboard.
You need to be aware of your Peak Concurrent Connections (PC) limit. Peak Concurrent Connections are counted as the highest number of concurrently connected devices to the Sendbird Chat servers during a month. Please note this counts devices, not users - if a user connects to Sendbird Chat from two devices, this counts as 2 concurrent connections. This also includes when the users connect from a website and the tab is still open. We recommend connecting the user only when it is needed.For the organization that has multiple applications, the Peak Concurrent Connections of the organization for each month is calculated as the aggregated sum of each application’s peak concurrent connections. For example, let's say Acme corp has 2 applications. Acme corp’s peak concurrent connections for the first application is 23 on the 7th of July, and that of the second application is 50 on the 23rd of July. In this case, Acme corp’s peak concurrent connections in July will be 73.For Starter and Pro packages, your Peak Concurrent Connections are capped at 5% of your MAU limit.
Most but not all features are included with the base price of the enterprise plan. The enterprise plan gives customers the ability to purchase certain additional features, such as Data Export, not available to customers of the Starter and Pro plans. It also allows for higher monthly active user limits than 100,000, as well as the ability to purchase higher levels of support beyond L1. Please talk to your sales representative to learn more about pricing for different features for the enterprise plan.
Tax is not included in the prices listed on the pricing page. Tax will be included in your billing receipts.
