Requests are the only thing we meter. Every tier gets cheaper per request as you grow and covers your whole team — and if you cross your plan, we keep accepting your traffic while you move up. No rate limits, no hard stops.
For side projects and first launches.
For APIs in production with real customers.
Everything in Pro, sized to your traffic.
One request = one key validation or one logged API call · No rate limits on any plan · Billed monthly, paid up front · No surprise usage bills
Two things count toward it, and the bill is never a puzzle.
Every reqkey.verify() call from your middleware — the check that a key is valid and has credits — counts as one request.
Every request/response event you ship to /ingest for analytics and monitoring counts as one request.
Teams, consumers, plans, keys, dashboards — all free, at any team size. Dashboard activity never draws from your request pool; the meter only counts your API traffic.
Cross your allowance and nothing breaks on the spot — we keep accepting your traffic past the line and email you about it, so you can move up without a gap. Tier changes apply instantly.
Invite everyone — there's no per-seat fee. The dashboard is completely free to use and never touches your request pool, so your tier tracks your API traffic, never how many people work with it.
Start for freeOne key validation or one logged API call. That is the whole meter — nothing else is billed.
Nothing breaks the moment you cross it. We don't hard-stop your traffic at the line — requests keep flowing while we email you about it, so you have time to move up. If you're over regularly, the next tier is one click away and applies instantly.
Yes, in both directions, and it applies instantly: you pay the new tier's full price and your monthly billing date resets to that day. On upgrades, unused requests from your old allowance carry into the first month (up to the new tier's allowance) — so moving up never wastes what you've paid for. Downgrades start fresh with the new tier's allowance.
