Billing

Nylas bills on the first of the month for the previous month’s usage. We determine your usage by multiplying the number of active accounts by the effective price per account for your organization’s billing plan. If the number of active accounts per month is less than or equal to the number of accounts included in your billing plan, you will be billed the regular monthly rate for the plan. If you go over the number of active accounts included in your plan, you will be billed the regular monthly rate with an additional prorated amount for each extra account. Your organization's prorated price per account is equal to monthly_rate / included_accounts.

An active account is an account whose billing_state is set to paid for any period of time within a given month, and we do not prorate account usage within a month. An /account's billing_state is automatically set to paid the first time you authenticate it to the Nylas API. If you downgrade/cancel or delete an account, its billing_state will no longer be paid and it must be manually re-upgraded to become paid and active again.

An account is uniquely defined by both its email address and the server settings used to authenticate. This means accounts may be counted more than once if the same email was authenticated with different server settings. For example, if [email protected] authenticates on 12/2 with server settings mx.mail.com, and then later re-authenticates on 12/12 with server settings mailbox.mail.com, this account will be counted twice for December. We typically recommend that upon re-authentication, if a new account_id is generated, you cancel the previous account and use the new one moving forward to avoid being billed twice. You can also ask that users re-authenticate with the same server settings to avoid this issue. See Re-authentication for more information. Accounts shared between multiple applications within your organization are counted separately.
