Q: What happens if I exceed my free MAU limit?

The Free plan covers 10,000 monthly active users (MAU) — a user counts as active in a month if they authenticate at least once. As you approach the limit, Atlas notifies you so there are no surprises. To grow beyond 10,000 MAU you upgrade to Pro ($25/mo plus usage), which scales with your active users. Enterprise offers custom volume terms. Atlas is designed so you only pay when your user base grows — the security features stay the same across plans. See the pricing page and billing docs.

The Free plan includes 10,000 monthly active users. As you approach the limit you'll be notified; to grow beyond it you upgrade to Pro, which continues on a usage basis. Your users are never locked out mid-month by surprise.
