FAQ

What is a credit?

All API operations cost credits, with one credit equal to $0.01 (aside from volume discounts.) Different API operations consume credits at different rates.

Can I split credits between the API and Enterprise Platform?

Yes. Credits purchased, and volume discounts offered, through the Enterprise Platform can be extended to the API as well.Do you offer volume discounts?

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. Larger platform tiers include bigger credit bundles, and API pricing supports volume-based discounts. Talk to Sales to learn more.

Can we start small and scale?

Yes. Most customers start by paying as they go and expand as usage grows. Upgrading to a paid tier with a volume discount is quick and painless.
