Account Types
Overview of IMSURGE Free and Pro accounts, including sponsored integrations and usage limits.
IMSURGE accounts fall into two categories — Free and Pro — which define how usage is billed and what features are available.
Both account types offer the same integrations and functionality, but differ in automation access and how pipeline executions are counted toward billing.
Free Account
The Free account is a no-cost way to use IMSURGE. It provides full access to the platform’s features but limits automated execution for non-sponsored pipelines.
- Pipeline executions: Limited to manual runs, with up to 5 total executions per month across your account.
- Scheduling disabled: Pipelines cannot run automatically unless they use a sponsored integration.
- No expiration: You can stay on the Free account as long as you like and upgrade at any time.
Free accounts are great for:
- Exploring how pipelines work
- Running one-off data transfers
- Building projects that rely entirely on sponsored integrations
Sponsored Integrations (Free to Automate)
Some integrations are sponsored, meaning they are completely free to use and automate. These are marked with the Sponsored flag.
Pipelines using sponsored integrations:
- Can run automatically on a schedule
- Are not limited by execution caps
- Do not count toward billable usage, even on Pro accounts
This means you could operate a large project involving many pipelines completely free of charge, as long as they use sponsored integrations exclusively.
Tip
Use sponsored integrations where possible to take advantage of automated scheduling and unlimited usage — all at no cost.
IMSURGE Pro
IMSURGE Pro removes the limitations on automation and execution for non-sponsored integrations.
It’s intended for users or organizations that need continuous, automated data transfers across any combination of integrations.
- Unlimited executions: Run pipelines without monthly limits.
- Scheduling enabled: Automate all pipelines, including non-sponsored ones.
- Pay-as-you-go billing: Usage is billed monthly based on actual pipeline activity.
- Full integration access: Includes every integration available on the platform.
Even on IMSURGE Pro, sponsored integrations remain free to use and do not count toward chargeable usage.
