Pricing

Persistent storage, including for CRM and list enrichment, is not permitted under the default terms and pricing. For inquiries about pricing under more permissive terms, please reach out with details about your use case.

Only successful requests count toward your quota. Hitting your limit returns 429 responses until the month resets. No surprise overage charges, ever. Usage alert emails go out at 80% and 100%.

Managing Your Subscription

Billing is handled by Stripe. To update your card, change plans, view invoices, or cancel, use the billing portal (sign in with your subscription email), or just write to and it'll get sorted out.

Standard Terms

The short version:

• API data can only be used on an ephemeral basis.
• Long-term or bulk storage is not permitted but short-lived operational caching is fine.
• Dataset reconstruction, resale, reverse engineering, and redistribution aren't permitted.
• 10 requests per second burst limit (may be relaxed on request).
• Billing occurs monthly with no long-term commitment.

See the Terms of Service for more details.

Persistent storage and CRM/list enrichment aren't covered by standard plans. Feel free to get in touch about more permissive terms under alternative price structures.
