# Sync frequency

> How often Merge syncs data from third-party integrations. Covers default intervals by plan tier (Launch, Professional, Enterprise) and per-category sync schedules.

---

## Overview

Sync frequency is the rate at which Merge initiates requests to fetch data from third-parties. Actual time to complete a sync can vary depending on the third-party.

You can view your sync frequency in the [Billing](https://app.merge.dev/billing) page of your Merge dashboard. [Contact us](mailto:support@merge.dev) for more information.

## Sync credits

Customers who select Manual sync plans (**Monthly** or **Quarterly**) will be allocated sync credits that apply per Linked Account, including bonus sync credits for mistakes and changes.

A sync credit applies when you resync data for a Linked Account in the Merge dashboard or via API. The initial sync for a Linked Account does not use a sync credit.

Sync credits renew each year, starting on the day that each Linked Account begins syncing.
