Pay-per-task billing allows you to keep running your business-critical Zaps even if you’ve reached your plan’s task limit. Once you enable pay-per-task billing, it starts automatically when your task usage exceeds your plan's task limit. Access to this feature may differ if your account is on an older pricing plan. You can update your plan option to access this feature.
NotePay-per-task billing is only available on paid Zapier plans.
How pay-per-task billing works
At the end of your monthly billing cycle (when your task limit resets), Zapier charges you for all tasks that exceed your plan limit during that cycle. Each extra task is charged on a per-task basis, at a rate of 1.25 times your plan's task cost. This charge is separate from your monthly or annual plan charges. If you’re on an annual plan, Zapier will charge you monthly for any tasks used over your plan limit during a billing cycle.
You can see the amount of extra tasks used in the Billing and usage page.
Limit on pay-per-task usage
Zaps will stop running if your account reaches the maximum pay-per-task usage amount. This is set at 3 times your plan's task limit. You can learn more about how task usage is measured in Zapier.
