# How Threadly Charges for Active Users

We understand that clear and predictable pricing is important. That's why Threadly's billing is simple: you'll only be charged for the users on your team who actually send messages within your billing period. This covers all their outgoing communication, including messages sent through automated workflows, the main Threadly app, or quick shortcuts.

Learn more about our [Premium plan here](/threadly/admin-and-billing/understanding-threadlys-premium-plan.md).

For a detailed look at which actions contribute to billing, check out the table below:

<table><thead><tr><th>Action</th><th data-type="checkbox">Billed</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>User sends a message via the Threadly app or shortcut.</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>User activates a Workflow they created in Threadly.</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>User views, interacts, leaves an emoji on a message.</td><td>false</td></tr><tr><td>User opens the Threadly app to view analytics, conversation groups, or settings.</td><td>false</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://threadly.gitbook.io/threadly/admin-and-billing/how-threadly-charges-for-active-users.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
