Short answer: Our API is live and free today (60 requests a minute, credit "Source: VaultRubric"). Paid plans with API keys and higher limits are coming. If you need more, request access and we'll reply within 2 business days.
| Plan | Price | Limit | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 60 requests/minute per IP, no key | Hobby apps, AI agents, research. Attribution required. |
| Developer | $49/month | 600/minute, 250,000/month | One commercial app. API key, email support. |
| Business | $199/month | 3,000/minute, 2,000,000/month | Several apps or sites. Bulk JSON export, change webhooks, white-label attribution option. |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Redistribution rights, SLA, custom fields. Contact us. |
How to choose (math): 60/minute is up to 86,400 calls a day. If your app makes fewer than that and can show our credit line, Free is enough. Developer costs $49 ÷ 250,000 = about $0.0002 per call.
Paid plans are not on sale yet. No card is collected. Prices may change before launch.
