How can I increase my limits & quotas?

All Crisp plans come with a set of features that let you store data for your business, eg. contacts within the Crisp CRM, or exchange information, eg. translate messages with LiveTranslate. Those features come with fair use limits, that were set to protect our systems against abuse, and at the same time they are high enough so that most of our users do not hit them.


In the event you hit one of the limit, which can either be a time-based quota limit (eg. number of translated messages per day), or a data storage limit (eg. number of contacts in your CRM), you can upgrade anytime to higher limits .


Note that, by default, each Crisp website runs on limits that are based on their current plan subscription. A Crisp Essentials or Plus website will have much higher default limits than a Crisp Mini website.


Only Crisp Essentials websites can upgrade to higher limits . If you need higher limits and you are using Free, please consider upgrading to Mini first. If you are using Mini, please consider upgrading to Essentials first. If you are using Essentials, then get higher limits by subscribing to custom limits.


List of limits


This list summarizes all limits that are enforced on all Crisp accounts. Certain limits may only appear in certain plans, which means that you will not see them in your Crisp Dashboard if you are using Free or Mini.


Data limits


Data limits applies to data Crisp stores on behalf of your website. Increasing those limits means that you will be able to store more data. This also means that we allow you to grow your amount of storage data up to an unlimited amount of entries, provided you increase your limits as you go.


  • Campaign recipients limit , allows your campaigns to be sent to more recipients, provided you use a private/assigned IP address (can be increased)
  • Inbox operators limit , allows more agents to be invited to your Crisp Inbox (can be increased)
  • CRM contacts limit , allows you to store more contacts in your Crisp CRM (can be increased)
  • Status page nodes limit , allows you to monitor more hosts from your Crisp Status status page (can be increased)


Other features that are not mentioned have no paid limit. For instance, the Crisp Inbox does not require you to subscribe to higher limits to store more messages in your inbox.


Quota limits


Quota limits applies to how many times you can use a certain Crisp feature for a certain period of time. For instance, you can only translate a certain amount of messages per day.


  • LiveTranslate messages translated , limits how many messages can be translated in total (can be increased)
  • LiveTranslate characters translated , limits how many characters can be translated in total, for all messages (can be increased)
  • Chatbox files uploaded , limits how many files your users can send over the chatbox (can be increased)
