How Limits Are Enforced
Contact Limits
- Tracks total created: Limit counts all contacts ever created, not just current count
- Includes deleted: Deleting contacts doesn't free up your limit
- Resets monthly: Counter resets on the 1st of each month (billing cycle)
- Prevents imports when exceeded: CSV upload and manual creation blocked until reset or upgrade
Inbox Limits
Free Trial Only: Limited to 1 inbox connection
- Paid Plans: All paid plans include unlimited inbox connections
- Free Trial: Limited to 1 active inbox at a time
- Upgrading: Unlock unlimited inboxes immediately when you upgrade to any paid plan
Sequence Limits
All Plans: Unlimited sequences
- Free Trial: Unlimited sequences (same as paid plans)
- Paid Plans: Unlimited sequences
- No restrictions: Create as many sequences as you need for testing and segmentation
Email Sending Limits
- Monthly quota: Total emails you can send per billing cycle
- Resets monthly: Counter resets on 1st of each month
- Stops sending when hit: Send worker skips emails once monthly limit reached
- Scheduled emails wait: Pending emails remain scheduled, send when limit resets

⚠️ Plan Carefully
Choose a plan with headroom for contact and email usage. Running into limits mid-campaign disrupts your outreach flow. Tips:
- Contact Planning: Estimate 20-30% buffer above expected monthly contact creation
- Email Volume: Consider seasonality (Q4 might need more email capacity)
- Testing Buffer: Account for testing and failed sends in email limit
- Growth Planning: Remember deleted contacts still count toward monthly contact limit
- Inbox Advantage: Paid plans include unlimited inboxes for better deliverability
💡 Pro Tip
Annual billing saves you 2 months (16.7% discount). If you're committed to using WarmOpener long-term, annual plans offer better value. You can still upgrade mid-cycle - the prorated difference applies to the higher tier.
