Features:

Subscription Plans:

• Starter: 300 API calls per month - Ideal for testing and personal use
• Basic: 1,500 API calls per month - Perfect for regular usage
• Professional: 6,000 API calls per month - For higher volume applications
• Unlimited: Unlimited API calls per month* - Production / high usage (fair use policy and rate limits apply)

Important: Monthly subscriptions provide a fixed number of API calls per month (or unlimited with fair use for the Unlimited plan). When your subscription expires, you have a 7-day grace period to renew. After the grace period, any unused API calls are permanently lost. If you exhaust your calls before expiration, you can upgrade to a higher tier immediately.

*Unlimited is subject to fair use and API rate limits (60 requests/minute) to protect service availability. Exceeding the rate limit triggers a 5-minute cooldown period.
