Billing, documented like a feature.

Most vendors hide billing mechanics in a help-center FAQ. Ours is simple enough to document like everything else: one check rate, a prepaid wallet, two flat plans — and a floor under you at zero.

The meter

€9 per million checks for HTTP, Ping, TCP, DNS, keyword and body checks. A check is a request we actually send: one monitor every 10 seconds is 8,640 checks a day. Alerts, status pages, evidence captures, playbooks and seats have no separate usage charge. GET /billing/prices returns the complete price table, and every monitor form prints its own monthly cost before you save. Failed checks cost the same as healthy ones; paused monitors cost nothing. The calculator on the pricing page runs the exact production formula.

Pay as you go: the wallet

Top upFrom €10, card or SEPA. Checks and the monthly minimum draw from the balance; every deduction is visible and the balance never goes negative.
SettlementUsage settles against the balance hourly; the wallet page lists every transaction with its balance-after.
Monthly minimum€3 per calendar month — and it includes €3 of usage (≈ 333,000 checks). Months above €3 of usage pay usage only.
Spend alertOne threshold, one email per month when your usage crosses it.
Auto-reloadOptional: when the balance drops below your threshold, your saved card tops it up by your chosen amount.

Running low: warnings, then grace — never a blackout

We forecast your runway from your real 7-day burn and warn you in good time, well before zero — with auto-reload as the one-click fix. If the balance does run out, grace mode takes over: every monitor keeps running at a 5-minute cadence, free of charge, for 7 days, with alerts and status pages live. Only after that do checks pause — and nothing is ever deleted; top up and monitoring resumes at your configured intervals within a minute. We never bill into the negative and never run dunning.

Flat plans and quotas

PlanPriceIncluded
Pay as you go€3 / month minimumup to 50 monitors · €9 per million checks · custom domains €2 each per month
Team€9 / month100 monitors · 20 million checks a month (€180 at list) · unlimited seats · 1 custom domain
Agency€29 / month500 monitors · 66 million checks (€600 at list) · 10 custom domains

The check budget resets per UTC calendar month. A single-region monitor at 10 seconds uses 259,200 checks in a 30-day month; every additional region counts again. Team supports up to 100 monitors and Agency up to 500. At 80% we email you. At 100%, the quota becomes a change gate: you cannot create or resume monitors, shorten intervals or add regions until the reset or an upgrade. Monitors already active keep their current cadence. No overage is charged. Switching between the meter and a plan is monthly, in both directions, and only ever on your click.

Trial

New accounts start with €3 of credit and every released feature — no card required; the credit is the trial. It drains through usage and the monthly minimum, so it lasts about a month of light use. When it runs out, the same grace mode applies before anything pauses.

Invoices and payment

Payments run through Stripe; purchases via Stripe Managed Payments are sold by Stripe (as “Link”) as merchant of record — the receipt or invoice, PDF attached, arrives by email automatically, and your card statement shows LINK.COM* with our descriptor. Prices are in euros; at checkout Stripe shows your local currency. All prices net, VAT applied at checkout where it applies.

Via API

Meter prices are public (GET /billing/prices) so your own tooling can predict costs with our exact numbers — the same parity we keep between the pricing page and the product.
