Account management—plans, payments, and billing

Every new account begins with a default Welcome plan (after completing the sign-up process). After the welcome plan ends, if you haven't updated your plan and billing information, it will automatically convert to the Zero plan. You can either upgrade to the Growth plan, request a quote to a customized Enterprise plan, or remain in the Zero plan.

Payment for your plan is calculated according to your plan usage and premium features.

Plan usage

Each plan is based on measurement of a specific unit. Unit usage is calculated monthly or annually. The number of units used during the plan cycle (month or year) is deducted from the total package units.

Exceeding plan usage

When exceeding the number of units in your plan cycle, extra costs are applied. You can see all costs in the Plan details section. To help prevent exceeding plan usage or reduce extra costs, alerts are sent via the notification center in the following cases:

• Your plan units are being rapidly used 
• You're getting close to reaching your allocated units (75% of your plan units)
• You've exceeded the usage of your plan units

You can check with your CSM or contact hello@appsflyer.com for upgrade options.

Conversion measurement options for iOS app billing

Since the introduction of iOS 14.5, AppsFlyer offers two possible methods to determine campaign performance and attribution for iOS apps:

• Single Source of Truth (SSOT): If you have SSOT configured in AppsFlyer SKAN Conversion Studio, this method will automatically be used for billing.
• If you haven't turned on SSOT: AppsFlyer runs a side-by-side comparison of the number of daily conversions measured by SKAdNetwork and those measured by our privacy-centric RTA (real-time attribution) for each media source. These two methods run independently and in parallel. The higher of the two numbers is taken into account for billing. This ensures that you're never charged twice for a conversion event.
