Views: what are they & how to purchase more

What are the views?

Views are counted when a direct link or webpage with ThingLinks embedded is loaded and each load counts as one view.

We limit the number of views for each user with a view quota calculated based on the total views during the last 12 months. We do not increase the view count when you view your own content (as long as you are logged in). 

Your current number of views and the view limit is displayed in your Profile settings -> Billing tab:

You can learn more about your views, the main sources of views and other engagement statistics by checking content statistics.

What happens if you run out of views

When your account reaches and exceeds view limits, all embed ThingLinks will be displayed with a banner that will redirect the viewer to consume the content on ThingLink. The images will stay interactive but available only on ThingLink.

In addition, upon logging in you'll see a banner notifying you that you've run out of views. 

How to purchase more views

If you've hit your view limit, get in contact with our support team at sales@thinglink.com or support@thinglink.com. Our Premium accounts start with more views than Professional plans.
