title: Twilio Developer Plan
3+
hidden: true
4+
---
5+
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).
46+
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.
