description: >-
  Kinde is priced primarily on Monthly Active Users (MAU). Every plan includes a
  large free MAU allowance (10,500 MAU at the time of writing); usage above the
  allowance is billed per additional MAU at a per-plan rate that decreases as you
  move up tiers. Users on a paid subscription (via Kinde's own billing product)
  are not counted toward MAU. Tiers are Free ($0), Pro ($25/mo), Plus ($75/mo,
  the recommended tier), and Scale ($250/mo), with Enterprise available on
  request. The Management API is included with every plan and has no separate
  per-call fee. Verify current prices and allowances on the Kinde pricing page
  during reconciliation.
notes: >-
  Additional usage-based costs exist alongside MAU: SMS is roughly $0.07 per
  message (or bring your own provider) and payment transaction fees on Kinde's
  billing product run about 0.5%-0.7% by tier. Enterprise SSO connections are
  included from the Plus tier up. Numbers reflect the pricing page as observed on
  the created date and should be reconciled before use.
