Pricing
The commercial model is intentionally split into clear lanes. Free is for immediate evaluation, standard metered is for ongoing usage of the core API family, and premium is a separate lane for higher-value business and niche data products.
Plain-language version
The easiest way to read pricing is: start on the free lane, stay on the standard lane if you want more of the same API family, and move to the premium lane only if you specifically need the higher-value business or niche data products.
Agent-friendly version
The catalog exposes access lanes and pricing clearly so agents can distinguish free-eligible standard routes from premium data routes without inferring it from status labels alone.
Free start
10 requests/day
Free access is meant to make the standard API family easy to evaluate without a sales step or approval queue.
Standard metered
$0.01 USD/request
Standard metered usage is the same core API family you start with on free, just without the small daily ceiling.
Premium data
$1.00 USD/request
Premium routes are intentionally separated so premium business and niche data APIs are not hidden inside the standard utility catalog.
What sits in each lane
This is the easiest way to read the catalog: start free on eligible standard APIs, stay in the standard lane when you scale, and treat premium business-data APIs as a separate commercial surface.
Free start
Start here if you want to test live contracts and low-friction agent or developer workflows.
Standard metered
This lane includes the launch-now utility APIs plus the monitored scoring routes you can keep using after free usage runs out.
Premium data
Premium routes are grouped separately because the underlying data product and commercial value are different from the standard lane.
How billing works
Every self-serve key starts with a small free daily allowance. Standard APIs then move to flat metered pricing, while premium APIs have their own per-request rate and managed access path.
Who this fits
This model is aimed at developers and AI-agent workflows that want a low-friction start, a clear hard stop on free usage, a simple path into metered production traffic, and a separate premium lane for niche data products.
Upgrade paths
Standard metered access and premium data access solve different problems. The site should make those next steps feel concrete instead of vague.
Standard upgrade
Choose this path when you already like the standard API family and simply need more than the free daily allowance.
Premium access
Choose this path when the value comes from the data product itself, such as premium business search, contacts, qualification, or niche data.
