What happens when I run out?

Free accounts stop at the free limit. Pay-as-you-go accounts stop when the prepaid balance reaches zero. Pro and Max accounts can continue from prepaid credit after the monthly allowance is used.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Pay as you go is the default. Pro and Max are monthly Paystack subscriptions and can be managed from your Emerald account.
