# Plans and limits

> Which features need a higher plan, which limits depend on your plan, when each is checked, and what happens when you downgrade.

<Info>
  If you saw a message that a feature "needs a higher plan" or that you reached a plan limit, this page explains what the gate or limit covers and when it is checked. For what each plan currently includes, and the exact limits, see the [plans and pricing page](https://www.terminusapp.com/pricing/) or, inside the app, the plan comparison on the **Billing** page. Plans are **Professional**, **Business**, and **Enterprise**. New accounts start on a **Business trial**. For subscribing, seats, and where to see current prices, see [Billing](/account/billing).

## Features by plan

| Feature                                                                          | Professional | Business | Enterprise | When it is checked                                                                                                                                                                                  |

Approving directly works on every plan.                                                            |

Building, editing, and importing them works on every plan. |
| [Outbound connectors](/account/outbound-connectors)                              | No           | Yes      | Yes        | When you create a connector, and on every delivery.                                                                                                                                                 |
| Per-workspace option filters ([overrides](/reference/field-reference-overrides)) | No           | Yes      | Yes        | When you save a workspace-level filter. Clearing one is always allowed.                                                                                                                             |

## Limits that depend on your plan

These limits differ by plan. The current numbers are on the [plans and pricing page](https://www.terminusapp.com/pricing/) and in the app's plan comparison.

| Limit                                     | What it counts                             | When it is checked                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [Workspaces](/account/workspaces)         | Workspaces in the account.                 | When you create a workspace.                                                                                                                                                                           |
| [Custom domains](/account/custom-domains) | Custom short-link domains in the account.  | When you add a domain.                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| Records per submission                    | Rows one submission can turn into records. | When a submission is sent for review or approved, never while you type. A larger draft still saves, and the builder tells you the limit, so you can remove rows or split them into another submission. |

The bulk grid builder opens on every plan. The records-per-submission limit is what differs.

Seats are not a plan feature: card-billed plans bill each additional member, and trial and invoiced accounts have a seat cap. See [Seats](/account/billing#seats).

## What you see when you hit a gate

* **Creating a workspace or custom domain over the limit** shows **Workspace limit reached** or **Custom domain limit reached**, with a **Choose a plan** link to the pricing page.
* **Creating an outbound connector** without Business shows **Outbound connectors need a higher plan**.
* **Publishing a governance model** that contains an automated picklist on Professional shows **Publishing needs a higher plan** and names the picklists. Publishing stays blocked while the model contains one, even if no field uses it, so the alternative to upgrading is to remove it.
* **Submitting to a taxonomy** that uses an automated picklist on Professional fails with a message that names the picklists and says the submission is saved as a draft. Whoever submits usually cannot change the plan, so ask an account owner or admin.
* **Single Sign-On** shows an **Enterprise** tag in the admin sidebar and a **Contact sales** option when your plan does not include it.

## What your trial includes

The trial includes every Business feature and limit, with a seat cap. You can switch the trial to Professional before subscribing, which changes what it includes right away. See [Your trial](/account/billing#your-trial).

## What happens when you downgrade

Moving from Business to Professional shows a confirmation that lists what you lose. Nothing is deleted.

* **Outbound connectors:** existing connectors stop delivering. You can still open, edit, and test them, and queued records are kept. After you upgrade again, delivery restarts when the next record is approved.
* **Automated picklists:** submissions on taxonomies that use one can no longer be sent for review or approved, so those taxonomies stop producing new records. Drafts still save, and you cannot publish a model that uses an automated picklist.
* **Approval workflows:** submissions can no longer be sent for review. Anything already in review can still be approved, and you can always turn review off.
* **Records per submission:** drops to the lower plan's limit. Larger drafts stay saved and readable until you trim them.
* **Workspaces and custom domains:** the downgrade is blocked while you have more than the lower plan allows. Remove the extras first.

An account without Enterprise that already has SSO connections can still review and delete them, but cannot add, change, test, or activate them.
