More contacts: packs and top-up

Updated 29 September 2026

On Pro, Growth and Scale you can go past your plan’s active contacts. Add 500 more at a time, for the month you buy them in, at $10 / £8 / €9 a pack (CA$14, A$15). Only owners can add them.

Add 500 by hand

  1. Go to Settings → Plan and usage.

  2. Under Extra contacts, choose Add 500 contacts.

  3. Pay on Stripe’s page. The 500 are added as soon as the payment goes through.

The active contacts meter and the Extra contacts box, with Add 500 contacts and top-up switched on.

Top-up

Add 500 automatically when you run out is on to start with. When you pass your allowance, ChannelDesk buys a pack straight away and charges it to the card on file, so replies to new people never wait. Beside the switch, choose the most packs a month, from 1 to 50.

With top-up off, or once it reaches your limit, replies to new people wait until you add more or the month resets. Their messages and comments still arrive in the meantime.

If a charge fails

Nothing is added and nothing is owed. The owners are emailed straight away, and top-up waits until you add 500 yourself or the month resets.
