Frequently Asked Questions
What does "requests per hour" mean?
Each API call counts as one request. The limit resets every hour on a rolling window basis. We also have a burst limit of 60 requests/minute to ensure stability.
Can I upgrade or downgrade anytime?
Yes. You can manage your subscription, upgrade, or downgrade anytime through the self-service Billing Portal.
What happens after the free trial?
Your API key expires automatically after 14 days. There are no automatic charges because we don't ask for a credit card upfront.
Do you offer Enterprise plans?
Yes. If you need higher rate limits, bulk data exports for AI/ML training, or custom contract lifecycle tracking, contact us for a custom quote.
