## Starter (\$9/month)

For side projects and light usage.

**Includes:**

* 10 alerts/webhooks
* Unlimited notifications
* 30-day history retention
* 100 API requests per minute
* Join teams (unlimited members)
* Email support

**Best for:**

* Personal projects
* Testing the platform
* Light automation

## Pro (\$29/month)

For professionals and teams who want the full product.

* Unlimited alerts and notifications
* Unlimited teams - creating a team is **free and unlimited** (requires an active Pro plan or an active sponsored-seats plan), with **unlimited members** per team
* Sponsored seats: bring clients or teammates on for **\$29/mo per seat** (see below)
* Home screen widgets
* 1-year history retention
* AI alert creation (natural language → ready-to-use alert; fair use: 30 paid generations/day, regenerating the same prompt is free)
* AI-written notifications (AI writes the title and body for each event; 200 distinct events/day per alert, then falls back to your template - included on Starter too)
* 1,000 API requests per minute
* Priority support

**Best for:**

* Production use
* Small-to-large teams that grow incrementally
* Heavy automation

## Sponsored Seats (\$29/mo per seat)

Sponsoring lets you bring people onto your teams even if they don't have (or want) their own paid plan - you pay, they get full Pro access.

* **\$29/month per seat**, monthly only (no annual seat billing)
* **Web only** - purchase and manage seats from Settings → Plan on the web (web.dashtray.app). Seat billing runs on Dashtray's web checkout, separate from store billing.
* **You (the team owner) pay** - seats are billed to your card, decoupled from your own plan. Downgrading or cancelling your own Pro never removes your sponsored members.
* **Anyone can be invited**: people with no Dashtray account, or whose own plan has lapsed, can be sponsored - they sign up with the invited email and get Pro immediately, no paywall.
* **No trial on seats** - a seat is active from the first payment.
* **Removing a seat** gives the member a **7-day grace period** with Pro before the sponsorship ends.

Example: an agency with 10 sponsored clients pays $29 (own Pro) + 10 × $29 = \$319/mo, with zero signup friction for the clients.

## Teams on Starter

Starter users can't create teams, but they can **join** teams (via invite or join code) and collaborate in shared alerts at no extra cost. Team membership is included in the Starter plan - only *creating* teams requires an active Pro plan or an active sponsored-seats plan. Members per team are unlimited on every plan.

## Goals

* **Starter:** Up to 10 goals total (active and inactive count toward the cap)
* **Pro:** Unlimited goals

## Feature Details

### Notifications

**What counts:**

* Notifications delivered to your phone (via webhooks, REST API, or MCP)
* Unlimited on all plans - there is no monthly notification cap; the monthly counter in Settings is informational only

### API Requests

**Rate limits** (per 60-second rolling window, per API key):

```
Starter:  100 per minute
Pro:      1,000 per minute
```

When you exceed your limit:

* Requests get `429 Too Many Requests` with a `Retry-After: 60` header
* Can retry after the window resets

### Webhook Rate Limits

Each alert (regardless of plan) is limited to **60 webhook requests per minute**. Excess requests are rejected with `429` - they are not queued.

### History Retention

* **Starter:** 30 days - older notifications are auto-purged
* **Pro:** 1 year

### Teams

* **Starter:** Can join teams (no extra cost), unlimited members per team
* **Pro:** Create teams - free and unlimited, unlimited members each. Creating a team requires an active Pro plan or an active sponsored-seats plan.
* **Sponsored seats:** \$29/mo per seat, purchased on the web and billed to the team owner

## Free Trial

* 7-day trial of the plan you pick, **card required** (one trial per account)
* Web signups start the trial through Dashtray's card checkout
* Mobile purchases through the App Store / Play Store follow the store's own trial configuration (in-app purchase policies) - see the app for current store terms
* Sponsored seats have **no trial** - they're active from the first payment
* If you don't convert, your plan simply ends - there is no free tier. You'll see the paywall until you subscribe again (your last 30 days of history stay safe).

## Billing Notes

* **Web** billing runs through Dashtray's card checkout; **mobile** subscriptions are billed through the App Store / Play Store (managed by RevenueCat). Both write the same plan to your account.
* Cancel or change plans from the app or web at any time (Settings → Manage plan). When a subscription ends, your plan stays active until the end of the paid period.
* Sponsored seats are billed separately on the web and managed from Settings → Plan; removing a seat gives that member a 7-day grace period.
* Yearly billing is available for the base plans: Starter $84/year (save 22%), Pro $264/year (save 27%). Seats are monthly only.
