# Do I send from a shared or a dedicated IP?

> Every plan sends from Sequenzy's shared IP pool by default. A dedicated IP is a paid add-on at $30 per month each, added in Settings → Domain.

By default you send from a shared pool of IP addresses, on every plan
including the free one. A dedicated IP is an optional add-on for senders with
steady, high volume.

## Shared pool

The shared pool is used by many senders, so you cannot be told in advance
which IP address a given email will use, and there is no fixed IP range to
allowlist. Your own reputation still matters most: mailbox providers judge
your sending domain, which is why
[verifying your own domain](https://docs.sequenzy.com/guides/domain-verification.md) has more effect than
the IP.

## Dedicated IP

| Detail | Value |
| - | - |
| Price | $30 per month for each IP, or $360 per year |
| Limit | Up to 10 IPs |
| Setup time | Up to 48 hours. You are notified when the IP is ready. |
| Refunds | The add-on is non-refundable |
| Who can add | The company owner, or a teammate with billing access |

To add one, open **Settings → Domain**, find **Dedicated IPs**, and click
**Add dedicated IPs**. When the IP shows as ready, assign it to one or more
sending domains. See [Dedicated IPs](https://docs.sequenzy.com/concepts/dedicated-ips.md).

## Do you need one?

Usually not. A dedicated IP only helps when you send enough regular volume to
keep it active. At low or irregular volume the IP goes quiet between sends and
performs worse than the shared pool. It also does not fix a sending domain
with a poor reputation, a list with many invalid addresses, or a mailbox
provider that is refusing your email as unwanted. See
[Will a dedicated IP fix it?](https://docs.sequenzy.com/guides/blocked-or-spam.md#will-a-dedicated-ip-fix-it)

Consider one when you send hundreds of thousands of emails a month on a steady
schedule and want your IP reputation separate from other senders.
