 # Plans and Pricing
 
-We believe anyone should be able to run simple, low-volume workflows at no cost, and we want you to be able to prototype and get to value before having to pay Pipedream any money. We also hope that you share your [sources](/components/contributing/#sources), [workflows](/workflows/building-workflows/), [actions](/components/contributing/#actions), and other integration components so that other Pipedream users benefit from your work.

-
-**Workflows:**
-- **Connected accounts**: Limited to 3 different service accounts (like Slack, Google Sheets, GitHub, etc.)
-- **Active workflows**: Limited number of active workflows 
-- **Polling intervals**: Triggers that poll for updates are limited to a lower frequency compared to paid plans
+- **Support**: Community support is available via our [community forum](https://pipedream.com/community) and [Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/pipedream-users/shared_invite/zt-36p4ige2d-9CejV713NlwvVFeyMJnQPwL)

 ## Pipedream Connect
 
-Pipedream Connect provides SDKs and APIs to let you easily add {process.env.PUBLIC_APPS}+ integrations to your app or AI agent. Connect uses the same credit-based pricing model as Workflows, with some key differences in how credits are consumed.
+Pipedream Connect provides SDKs and APIs to let you easily add {process.env.PUBLIC_APPS}+ integrations to your app or AI agent. Connect pricing is based on two inputs:
 
-{/* todo: talk about external users */}
+1. **[API usage](#how-credits-work-in-connect)**: Credits consumed by action executions, tool calls, and other operations
+2. **[End users](#end-users)**: Referred to as "external users" throughout the docs and API, this is the number of unique users in your application who connect accounts
 
 ### How credits work in Connect
 
-Here's how credit usage works in Connect:
+API operations that consume credits (1 credit per 30 seconds of compute time):
 
-- **`runAction()`** - Consumes 1 credit per call
-- **`makeProxyRequest()`** - Consumes 1 credit per call  
-- **Deployed triggers** - Consume 1 credit per invocation
-  - For polling triggers: 1 credit each time the trigger checks for changes (based on your defined polling schedule/interval)
-  - For webhook triggers: 1 credit each time an event is received
+- **Action executions**
+- **Tool calls via MCP**
+- **Source execution for deployed triggers**
+- **Requests to the Connect proxy**
 
-<Callout type="info">
-We don't charge credits for API calls that help you manage integrations, such as:
-- `getAccounts()` - List connected accounts
-- `getApps()` - Get available apps
-- `getComponents()` - List components
-- `configureComponent()` - Configure component settings
-- Other management and configuration endpoints
-</Callout>
+API operations that do **not** consume credits:
 
-### Connect credit examples
+- **Listing apps, actions, and triggers**
+- **Listing accounts**
+- **Configuring actions and triggers**
+- **Other management operations**
 
-| Scenario | Credits Used |
-| --- | --- |
-| Running a Slack "Send Message" action via `runAction()` | 1 credit |
-| Making an authenticated API request via `makeProxyRequest()` | 1 credit |
-| Polling trigger checking for new GitHub issues every 5 minutes | 1 credit per check (12 per hour) |
-| Webhook trigger receiving a Stripe payment event | 1 credit per event |
-| Calling `getAccounts()` to list user's connected accounts | 0 credits |
-| Configuring a component with `configureComponent()` | 0 credits |
+### End users
 
-### Connect pricing considerations
+End (external) users are a core billing component for Connect pricing, separate from credit usage:
 
-- Credits are consumed at the workspace level, shared across both Workflows and Connect usage
-- The same [free plan](#free-plan) and [paid plans](#paid-plans) limits apply
-- Monitor your Connect usage in your [Billing and Usage Settings](https://pipedream.com/settings/billing)
+- **End user definition**: A unique end user in your application who connects one or more accounts through Connect
+- **User to account relationship**: Each end user can have multiple connected accounts (e.g., one user might connect their Slack, Gmail, and GitHub accounts)
+- **Billing impact**: For standard plans, you're billed based on the number of unique external users, not the number of connected accounts
 
 ## Pipedream Workflows
 
 Pipedream Workflows uses a credit-based pricing model where you pay for compute time used during workflow execution.
