Pricing & Balance

New Extra Usage is valid for one year. Included usage is replaced at each subscription-month boundary based on the active tier.

API & Integration

API actions require a verified account with a testing balance or active subscription balance. Create and manage API keys from your account, then send the key in the X-API-Key header.
Yes. Your dashboard shows your API usage and remaining balance, so you can track costs while building and running automated workflows.
