# How pricing works

> Two connected accounts free, then a per-account rate that falls as you add more.

Nylon bills on one thing: **how many social accounts you have connected**. Not requests, not posts, not seats. Connect ten accounts and post once a year, or once a minute, and the bill is the same.

## The rate card

| Accounts | Per account, per month |
| -------- | ---------------------- |
| First 2  | Free                   |
| 3 – 10   | \$6                    |
| 11 – 100 | \$3                    |
| 101+     | \$1                    |

The bands are cumulative, the way an income tax band is. Twelve connected accounts is 2 free, 8 at $6, and 2 at $3 — $54 a month, not 12 × $3.

The free accounts are a $0 first tier rather than a credit, so they are re-applied on **every** invoice, and they print on it as $0.00 rather than disappearing into a balance you cannot see.

## Which accounts are the free ones

The two free slots go to your **longest-connected** accounts. That is not arbitrary — it is the same rule that decides which accounts keep working if billing lapses, so the account marked *Free* in your billing breakdown is the one that would survive.

## Seeing your numbers

**Settings → Billing** shows:

* **Connected social accounts** — the count you are billed on, with a **View breakdown** for which account falls in which band.
* **Next charge** — the amount, the date, and the card it will go to.
* **Invoices & receipts** — issued by Stripe; open, download, or grab a payment receipt.

## Adding and removing accounts mid-month

Connecting an account adds it to your subscription; disconnecting removes it and **stops billing for it immediately**. You do not have to wait for a renewal date, and there is nothing to cancel separately.

Stripe shows the amount before you confirm any change.

## No subscription yet

You can connect up to two accounts and use every part of Nylon — the API, webhooks, logs, the test page — without giving a card. The third connection is what requires billing.

If you already have more than two connected and billing is not active, the ones past the allowance are paused rather than disconnected. See [Accounts paused for billing](/help/paused-accounts).
