Rate limits vs credits

Rate limits are based on requests per min and are fully independent of overall credits usage. Going over your credits will not automatically trigger rate limits.

Plan update (June 2026)

The Starter (9/mo)and∗∗Growth∗∗(9/mo) and **Growth** (49/mo) API plans are no longer offered to new customers. Existing Starter and Growth subscribers are grandfathered — they keep their plans.New customers choose between:
  • Free — 10M credits/month, 10 webhooks, 5 apps, and a 600 per-API-endpoint rate limit. Includes Webhooks, Hub endpoint, Indexer-as-a-Service, and all Read & Write APIs.
  • Scale — $249/mo, 60M credits/month.
  • Enterprise — custom limits.
See the pricing page for the full, current plan comparison.

​
Rate limits are set per subscription plan

  • Free plan rate limits are 600 or 10 per API endpoint
  • Scale plan rate limits are 1200 or 20 per API endpoint
If you need higher limits, reach out and we can set up an enterprise plan for you. Grandfathered plans (no longer offered to new customers, but kept for existing subscribers): the Starter plan is 300 / 5 and the Growth plan is 600 / 10 per API endpoint. The Free tier matches the former Growth rate limits.

​
API-specific rate limits in

This type of rate limit is triggered when you call the same API above its API-specific threshold on your plan. As an example - On the Free plan, you can call two different APIs at 400 RPM each for a total RPM of 800 without triggering your rate limits.
