| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The Twilio Developer Plan allows you to collect and process your data at scale, consolidating your data from up to 3 sources into a single warehouse for complex querying. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## How is this offer different from Segment’s Free Plan? |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +The Twilio Developer Plan allows for 10,000 Monthly Tracked Users (MTUs), while Segment’s Free Plan limits MTUs to 1,000. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The Twilio Developer Plan is limited to 1 warehouse destination, while all other Segment plans also allow you to send data in real time to more than 300 destinations (all the analytics, marketing, advertising, and A/B testing tools you already use). |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +| | Twilio Developer Plan | Segment Free Plan | |
| 16 | +| ---------------------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------- | |
| 17 | +| Monthly Tracked Users (MTUs) | 10,000 | 1,000 | |
| 18 | +| Destinations | 1 warehouse | More than 300 destinations, including the analytics, marketing, advertising, and A/B testing tools you already use | |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Need more destinations or more MTUs? Upgrade to the [Team Plan](https://segment.com/pricing) for unlimited destinations and scaled MTU pricing. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## How do I qualify for the Twilio Developer Plan? |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +You must have an active Twilio account to sign up for the Twilio Developer Plan. Active Twilio users can sign up for the Twilio Developer Plan [here](https://www.segment.com/twilio-developer-plan). |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## What is a data source? |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +In Segment, you create a source for each website, app, or cloud-based tool that you need to collect data from. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +For more information about data sources, see the [Sources Overview](/docs/connections/sources/). |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Warehouse Destinations |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +A warehouse is a central repository of data collected from one or more sources. This is what commonly comes to mind when you think about a relational database: structured data that fits into rows and columns. Some examples of data warehouse that are available on Segment are [PostgresSQL](/docs/connections/storage/catalog/postgres/), [Snowflake](/docs/connections/storage/catalog/snowflake/), [BigQuery](/docs/connections/storage/catalog/bigquery/), and [Redshift](/docs/connections/storage/catalog/redshift/). |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +For more information about warehouses, see the [Data Storage Overview](/docs/connections/storage/). |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## How are Monthly Tracked Users (MTUs) calculated? |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Segment counts the number of **unique** `userId` values, and then adds the number of **unique** `anonymousId` values that were not associated with a `userId` during the billing period. Segment counts these IDs across all calls made from all sources in your workspace, over a billing month. Segment counts each user once per month, even if they perform more than one action or are active across more than one source. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +For more information about Monthly Tracked Users, see [What is an MTU?](/docs/guides/usage-and-billing/mtus-and-throughput/#what-is-an-mtu). |

| 47 | + |
| 48 | +## Common Questions |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +### What happens if I exceed the 10,000 MTU limit? |
| 51 | +If you exceed the 10,000 MTU limit once in a 6-month period, Segment locks access to your account, but data still flows through Segment. To unlock your account, you can choose from these options: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +- **Option 1**: Wait for a full billing cycle (1 month) to go by without any overages. Segment unlocks your account if the MTU numbers reduce on their own. |
| 54 | +- **Option 2**: Upgrade to the [Team plan](https://segment.com/pricing/). This starts a 2-week free trial that gives you 14 days to fix your implementation to decrease the traffic. |
| 55 | +- **Option 3:** Upgrade to a [Business plan](https://segment.com/pricing/). Business plans are custom built for customers and typically have higher MTU limits than Team plans. [Click here](https://segment.com/demo) to schedule time with a Segment representative to see if a Business plan is a good fit for you. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +If you exceed the 10,000 MTU limit twice in a 6-month period, Segment locks access to your account and also stops sending and receiving data. You can unlock your account by following option 2 or 3 above to upgrade your plan. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### How do I get more out of Segment? |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Segment helps you simplify data collection, personalize user interactions, protect data integrity, and respect user privacy. Explore the [Destinations Catalog](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/) to see all the tools you can send data to once you get data into Segment. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +On Business plans, Segment also offers two add-on products called [Protocols](/docs/protocols/) and [Personas](/docs/personas/). |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +- **Protocols** helps you automate and scale the [data quality best practices](/docs/protocols/tracking-plan/best-practices/) to improve data quality and trust across your company. |
| 66 | +- **Personas** is a powerful personalization platform that enables you to create unified customer profiles in Segment, to build and enrich audiences, and to activate audiences across marketing tools. |
