Pricing and terms

WebAPI billing is pay-as-you-go: your cost tracks your real usage, not a guess. You pay only for what you actually consume — nothing up front, no idle prepaid capacity — and the per-unit price decreases as your volume grows. There are no rigid minimum or maximum limits.

The model

• Sandbox — free. The Sandbox is the staging environment: a full-featured copy of production with no billing and no SLA. You build, test and debug on the Sandbox for free, and only pay once you connect to production.
• Production — pay-as-you-go, usage-based pricing on a regressive scale (the more you use, the cheaper each unit). Calls and realtime events are metered separately. Billing starts only on production.

Why pay-as-you-go

• You pay only for what you consumed. Nothing is charged up front, and you never carry idle prepaid capacity you are not using. Your cost tracks your real usage, not a forecast you had to commit to in advance.
• The per-unit price decreases as volume grows. WebAPI uses a regressive scale: more usage means a lower price per unit, so scaling up does not punish you proportionally.
• Calls and realtime events are metered separately. You see each stream of usage on its own, so you always know what is driving your bill.
• Toolbox is billed by the hour for the resources you have connected. You pay for the time actually used and can turn things off when you don't need them — pay-as-you-go for infrastructure, rather than one large fixed subscription.
