Billing is team-scoped. Sendmux uses the team balance for paid email activity and records purchases, usage, auto top-ups, refunds, and adjustments as transactions.

Email usage

Sendmux charges email usage from the team balance. For outgoing mail, each provider-accepted To, CC, or BCC recipient occurrence is billed. Addresses rejected before provider acceptance are not charged. If the same address appears in more than one recipient field, each provider-accepted occurrence is billed separately. Inbound usage is counted when a message is accepted into a mailbox. Mail rejected by mailbox allow or block rules is not billed. Usage transactions can be grouped, so the transaction table may show one Incoming email usage line for several received messages in a short period.

Balance

The Billing page shows current balance, purchased amount over the last 30 days, and consumed amount over the last 30 days. If balance is too low, sending requests can fail with insufficient_credits. Top up before retrying.

Manual top-up

Choose a top-up amount, then complete checkout. Supported amounts are:
The balance updates after the purchase completes.

Auto top-up

Auto top-up adds balance when your team drops below a threshold. Use a monthly limit that covers expected usage but still caps unexpected spend.

Low-balance alerts

Low-balance alerts email you when team balance drops below the selected threshold.
Alerts are sent at most once every 24 hours for the same team and user.

Transactions

The transaction table shows balance movements with type, amount, date, and description. Use it to reconcile purchases, auto top-ups, usage, refunds, and manual adjustments.
