Monthly PV Limits and Pageviews Add-on

At STUDIO, we've established PV (pageview) limits for each of our plans. Here's a breakdown:

Plan

Monthly PV Limit

Free

Up to 10,000 PVs per month

Starter

Up to 50,000 PVs per month

CMS

Up to 100,000 PVs per month

Business

Up to 1,000,000 PVs per month

If your PVs exceed the limit, your website won't be immediately unavailable. However, if your monthly PVs consistently exceed the limit, we'll contact you and may temporarily limit site access.

To avoid disruptions, consider upgrading your plan or using the Pageviews Add-on for additional PVs beyond your limit.

How to Calculate and Check Your PVs

PVs are counted each time a user views a page on your public site. These counts are updated daily, and the total for the month (from the 1st to the last day of the month) is displayed in the lower-left corner of your project's dashboard.

Please be aware that our internal measurement criteria may have slight variations compared to external services such as Google Analytics. These differences may lead to variations in PV counts.

For site access analysis, please use STUDIO's Analytics or Google Analytics.

Below are the monthly PV limits for each plan.

Approaching or Exceeding Your PV Limit

When your project's monthly PV count exceed 80% of the limit, you'll receive a modal notification upon logging into STUDIO or accessing the project.

Additionally, project owners will receive email notifications when usage surpasses 80%, 90%, and 100% of the limit, with daily updates post-100%. You can eliminate these notifications by upgrading your plan or using the Pageviews Add-on.

Here is an example of the modal in your project list:

Pageviews Add-on

Pageviews Add-on allows you to pay only for the additional PVs used beyond your monthly limit, based on your actual monthly PV count at the end of the month. This feature is useful when you anticipate a temporary increase in PVs, such as during campaigns.

Pricing and Payment

Pricing is as follows: $1 for every 2,000 PVs beyond your plan limit.

At the beginning of each month, we will bill the project's payment owner for any excess charges based on the previous month's PV count. Invoices and receipts can be accessed from the email notifications or through the "Plan & Billing" section of the project dashboard.

Start using Pageviews Add-on

Only members with owner-level permissions or higher can enable the Pageviews Add-on.

To get started, navigate to the "Pageviews Add-on" section at the bottom of the "Plans & Billing" page and click "Start using." Follow the confirmation steps, and once saved, you can start using the add-on.

If you are using the Free Plan or haven't yet registered your payment information (credit card), you will need to do so beforehand.

Stop Using the Add-on

To stop using the add-on, simply go to the "Pageviews Add-on" section at the bottom of the "Plans & Billing" page and click "Stop using." Follow the instructions to complete the process.

Even if you stop using the add-on, if your PVs have exceeded the limit for the current month, you will be billed for the excess charges at the beginning of the following month.

Additionally, if you downgrade your plan while the add-on is active, the add-on will be temporarily disabled during the next plan switch on the billing date.
