Pricing
You pay as you go. Every call costs exactly what it actually causes, and you see the price before the call starts. If you prefer to work with a fixed budget, buy a package up front.
EUR 0.00
Base fee
An account you do not use costs nothing. There is no minimum term and no notice period.
unlimited
Validity
Purchased credit does not expire, not even after a year without use.
one invoice
for every service
One contract partner, one data processing agreement, one access point. No matter how many providers sit behind the services.
How we bill
The whole model comes down to four steps. There are no tiers, no quotas you would have to estimate in advance, and no invoice for capacity you never called.
-
1
You call a service
Through the interface or through MCP, with one key for every service.
-
2
The price is fixed beforehand
Before every chargeable call we show you what it costs. Only then does it run.
-
3
The call is what gets billed
What is charged is exactly the amount shown beforehand. A failed call costs nothing.
-
4
You see every entry
In the portal every call is listed with time, service and amount, optionally split by cost centre.
Two ways to pay for it
Pay per use
The normal case. You use the services and afterwards pay exactly what has accumulated. Nothing used means nothing paid.
Package up front
For anyone who needs a fixed budget or an invoice before use. You buy a package, spend it as required, and when it is empty you buy the next one or none at all.
Packages bought up front
Three amounts, with no discount tiers and no term. A package is nothing other than credit you have paid for in advance. How far it goes depends on the service. The column on the right works it through with one example.
| Package | roughly enough for |
|---|---|
| EUR 25.00 | 270 images |
| EUR 100.00 | 1,100 images |
| EUR 500.00 | 5,500 images |
What the price includes
The obvious question is: why not buy every service directly from its provider? For a single service that is often right, and we advise nobody against it. From the second one onwards the arithmetic changes.
A provider delivers technology. What turns it into something you can actually use stays with you: its own contract, its own invoice, often in a foreign currency, its own data processing agreement, a review by legal and procurement, another key to store and eventually rotate, plus the integration work and the cost control. That work does not disappear just because it appears on no invoice.
With us it is already done. The price of a call carries one contract partner, one invoice in euros, one data processing agreement for every service, one integration for everything that follows, billing per call instead of per subscription, the price before execution and cost centres you assign yourself. When a service is added, you do none of that again.
Common questions about billing
- Do I have to commit to one model?
- No. Pay per use is the default. You can buy a package at any time on top, and once it is spent, usage simply continues on a pay per use basis.
- What does an individual service cost?
- That depends on the provider behind it, and for some services on the size of your request. This is why the price is not shown here but in the portal at the service itself, and again before every chargeable call.
- What happens if a call fails?
- A call that returns no result is not billed. You pay for results, not for attempts.
- Can I try before I pay?
- Yes. For many services you can run a call directly on the page, with no contract and no account. APIzone covers those calls.
- How is it invoiced, and in which currency?
- In euros, on one invoice, with one contract partner. No matter how many providers sit behind the services you use.
All amounts are net. Invoices are issued in euros, within Germany 19% VAT is added.
