<p>We're pleased to announce bip.io's new <a href="https://bip.io/plans">premium plans</a> will boost productivity with new pods and actions, finer control over scheduling, generous bandwidth and priority support for your integrations.</p>
<p>bip.io is a free hosted platform for the <a href="https://github.com/bipio-server/bipio">open source bip.io server</a>. If you're running your own bip.io server, you can continue to <a href="https://bip.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/764829-where-is-the-user-interface-for-my-open-source-bip">mount your servers</a> into the hosted platform on the Free plan as you've always done.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>As a special thanks to bip.io's supporters for contributing to our success, customers already using premium features have been automatically upgraded to the bip.io Basic plan, free of charge. The next time you log into bip.io, all features for this plan will be automatically unlocked.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In addition to the original Free and Enterprise licensing plans, 3 upgrade levels have been added for those who want to go the extra step, to power users, to bip.io pro's!</p>

<h5 id="scheduling">Scheduling</h5>
<p>Event triggers on the free plan have always run every 15 minutes, except when they are manually initiated. On a premium plan, you can now schedule triggers to run at any time or timezone, as frequently as every 5 minutes.</p>

<h5 id="bandwidth">Bandwidth</h5>
<p>Wow, your bips are <strong>busy</strong>!! We've taken the average real bandwidth that bips use in each plan monthly and doubled it. If you start regularly exceeding the monthly bandwidth for your plan - Great Job! We'll reach out to you with assistance upgrading.</p>
<h6 id="thankyou">Thank you!</h6>
