Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about THEWATCH

Straight answers about pricing, how automation is metered, and what's actually included in each plan.

Pricing & Billing

What's the difference between monthly and annual billing?

Annual billing is charged as 10 months up front and covers the full 12 months — effectively 2 months free compared to paying monthly. The per-month price shown on the pricing page updates depending on which billing option you select.

What is the one-time activation fee?

Every plan has a $249 one-time activation fee for onboarding. It's automatically waived if you choose annual billing.

What happens if I go over my plan's automation action limit?

You can add an overage pack for your plan tier (Starter, Professional, or Elite) at any time. Overage packs are billed monthly, are added on top of your plan's included actions, and never expire while your subscription is active.

How THEWATCH Works

What counts as an "Automation Action"?

An Automation Action is one external operation THEWATCH performs on your behalf — querying a connected tool, enriching data, taking a response action, or sending a notification. Internal logic and correlation inside THEWATCH don't count against your limit — only the actual outside work.

What's a Watch? What's a Playbook?

A Watch is the detection logic — the condition THEWATCH is monitoring for. A Playbook is the automated response tied to that Watch. Every plan allows building as many Watches and Playbooks as you need within your plan's connector and action limits.

How many tools can THEWATCH connect to?

Starter includes 25 connectors; Professional, Elite, and Enterprise include unlimited connectors. The full integrations directory is still being finalized — check the integrations page or ask us directly about a specific tool.
