Monitor your real-time usage from Settings → Billing → Usage Dashboard. The dashboard shows:
MetricWhat’s displayed
Email sendsSent this cycle vs. plan limit, with daily trend chart
SMS/MMSMessages sent, segments used, cost to date
Phone minutesInbound and outbound minutes used, cost to date
Workflow executionsExecutions this cycle vs. plan limit
AI usageCredits or interactions consumed per AI feature
StorageCurrent storage used vs. plan limit
API callsCalls made today vs. daily limit
WhatsApp conversationsConversations by type, cost to date
Bookmark the Usage Dashboard for quick access. If you manage costs closely, check it weekly to avoid surprise overages.

Usage breakdown by sub-account

If you manage multiple sub-accounts, the Usage Dashboard can display usage per sub-account. Toggle the Per Sub-Account view to see which accounts are consuming the most resources.

How usage resets

Usage counters reset on your billing anchor date each month:
Usage typeReset behavior
EmailsCounter resets to 0 on your billing date
SMS/MMSNo reset — pure pay-per-use with no monthly allowance
Phone minutesNo reset — pure pay-per-use
Workflow executionsCounter resets to 0 on your billing date
AI creditsCounter resets to 0 on your billing date. Unused credits do not roll over
API callsDaily limit resets at midnight UTC
StorageDoes not reset — cumulative measurement
Unused included usage (emails, workflow executions, AI credits) does not roll over to the next month. Use it or lose it.

Overage alerts and notifications

HoopAI sends automatic notifications as you approach and exceed your usage limits:
Alert thresholdNotification methodMessage
50% of limitIn-app banner”You’ve used 50% of your [usage type] for this billing cycle”
80% of limitEmail + in-app”You’re approaching your [usage type] limit — 80% consumed”
100% of limitEmail + in-app + SMS (if enabled)“You’ve reached your [usage type] limit. Overage charges now apply.”
150% of limitEmail + in-app”Your [usage type] overage is significant. Review your Usage Dashboard.”
Custom thresholdConfigurableSet your own alert thresholds in Settings → Billing → Alert Preferences

Configuring alerts

1

Go to alert preferences

Navigate to Settings → Billing → Alert Preferences.
2

Set thresholds

For each usage type (email, SMS, phone, AI, workflows), set custom percentage thresholds or absolute values.
3

Choose notification channels

Select how you want to be notified: email, in-app notification, SMS, or all three.
4

Add additional recipients

Optionally add other team members (e.g., a finance manager) to receive billing alerts.

Spending caps

To prevent runaway overage charges, you can set hard spending caps:
  1. Go to Settings → Billing → Usage Limits
  2. For each usage category, enter a maximum monthly spend
  3. When the cap is reached, the service is paused for the remainder of the billing cycle
Enabling a spending cap means services will stop when the cap is hit. For example, if you cap SMS spending at $50/mo and hit that limit mid-month, all outbound SMS will be paused until your next billing cycle. Use caps carefully for mission-critical channels.

Volume discounts and enterprise pricing

For high-volume users, HoopAI offers volume-based pricing tiers that automatically reduce your per-unit costs:

Email volume tiers

Monthly volumePer-email rate
Up to plan limitIncluded ($0.00)
First 10,000 over limit$0.001/email
10,001–50,000 over limit$0.0008/email
50,001–200,000 over limit$0.0006/email
200,001+ over limit$0.0004/email

SMS volume tiers (US/Canada)

Monthly volumePer-segment rate
First 5,000 segments$0.0079/segment
5,001–25,000 segments$0.0070/segment
25,001–100,000 segments$0.0060/segment
100,001+ segments$0.0050/segment

Phone volume tiers (US/Canada outbound)

Monthly volumePer-minute rate
First 1,000 minutes$0.014/min

5,001–20,000 minutes$0.010/min
20,001+ minutes$0.008/min
Volume tiers are calculated automatically each billing cycle. You do not need to commit to a volume tier in advance — HoopAI applies the best rate retroactively based on your total monthly usage.

Enterprise custom pricing

Enterprise customers with very high usage volumes or specific requirements can negotiate custom pricing:
  • Custom email rates for 500,000+ emails/month
  • Dedicated phone rate cards for call center operations
  • Bundled AI pricing for heavy AI feature usage
  • Custom SLA with guaranteed uptime and support response times
  • Dedicated infrastructure for data isolation requirements
Contact your account manager or email support to discuss enterprise pricing.

Frequently asked questions

No. AI credits included in your plan reset to zero at each billing cycle. Purchase additional credits only when you need them to avoid waste.
A single SMS segment is 160 characters using GSM-7 encoding (standard Latin characters). If your message uses Unicode characters (emojis, non-Latin scripts), a segment is 70 characters. Messages longer than one segment are billed as multiple segments. For example, a 320-character GSM message is billed as 2 segments.
Yes. If you manage multiple sub-accounts, you can configure individual spending caps per sub-account from Settings → Sub-Accounts → [Account Name] → Billing Limits.
The add-on remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. No prorated refund is issued. The add-on will not renew on your next billing date.
Currently, add-ons are billed monthly only, regardless of whether your base plan is monthly or annual. Enterprise customers may negotiate annual add-on pricing as part of a custom agreement.
Go to Settings → Billing → Add-Ons. Your active add-ons are listed at the top with their activation date and current monthly cost. You can also see them itemized on your latest invoice.
