# Plans and quotas

Source: /docs/concepts/plans-and-quotas

Your plan decides which features you can turn on and how much you can run. The **Plan & usage** page in the dashboard always shows your current plan, what you have used this period, and what changes if you move up.

## Tiers [#tiers]

There are four tiers: **Free**, **Starter**, **Pro**, and **Enterprise**. Higher tiers unlock features and raise limits. The **Plan & usage** page lists the exact numbers for your account — they are shown live there rather than repeated here, so this page cannot go stale.

## What a plan gates [#what-a-plan-gates]

Two different things:

* **Features** — on or off for your tier. These are: **Custom domains**, **Dedicated database**, **Traffic analytics**, **User accounts**, **Payments**, and **MCP access**. On the **Free** tier, user accounts, payments and MCP access are available; custom domains, a dedicated database, and traffic analytics need a paid plan. Traffic analytics needs a dedicated database, so the two move together.
* **Limits** — how much you can use: number of **Apps**, an **Assistant budget**, and the **CPU**, **Memory** and **Disk** each app can use.

## Ceilings versus usage [#ceilings-versus-usage]

The dashboard separates two kinds of number:

* **Usage** counts against your plan for the current period and **resets** on a date shown on the page (for example, the assistant budget).
* **Limits per app** are ceilings — the most any single app can claim, such as CPU or memory. They are not a running total.

## What you see at a limit [#what-you-see-at-a-limit]

When a plan blocks something, the message names the tier and, where relevant, how to move up:

* **"Not included in your `{tier}` plan."** — the feature is off for your tier. Upgrade to a tier that includes it.
* **"You have used all `{allowed}` `{limit}` included in your `{tier}` plan."** — you hit a usage limit. It resets on the date shown, or you can upgrade.
* **"Upgrade to `{tier}`"** — the button that takes you to the plan that lifts the block.

To upgrade, open **Plan & usage** and choose a plan. Billing is handled through Stripe.
