# Rate Limits

**Before reading**: Please notice that rate limits **only** apply to emails you send via the API or SDKs.

## What are rate limits?

Rate limits help keep our service **fast** and **fair** for everyone. Each consumer can make a limited number of requests within a given time window. If you exceed this limit, requests may be temporarily blocked until the window resets. This prevents abuse and ensures **stable performance** for all users.

## How high are these limits?

We offer different rate limits depending on your plan:

### Free

Up to **250 emails/hour**  
Ideal for testing, prototypes, and small personal projects.

### Start-Up

Up to **1500 emails/hour**  
Built for early-stage products and moderate production traffic.

### Pro

Up to **7,500 emails/hour**  
Designed for established applications with higher throughput needs.

Need **more**? No problem, contact us for a custom increase. We review every request individually, taking your use case, traffic patterns, and technical requirements into account.
