Once your payment method is added, you can start using the API and monitoring your usage in the API Usage dashboard.

Upgrading to Pro

Pay-as-you-go users can upgrade to the Pro plan directly from the Studio — no sales call required. Where to find the upgrade option:

• Billing dashboard (/billing): A highlighted card reads “Upgrade to Pro — $25/mo + usage. Unlock Data Engine, Content Library, and higher spend limits up to$800/month.”
• Plans page (/plans): The full pricing table has a green “Upgrade to Pro” button in the Pro column.

What happens when you upgrade: The upgrade is instant and handled automatically:

1. Any outstanding Pay-as-you-go usage for the current week is settled immediately
2. Your weekly PAYG subscription is canceled

What unlocks after upgrading:

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I exceed my spend limit? For Pay-as-you-go accounts, API access is paused when you reach your weekly limit and resumes automatically the following week. For Pro accounts, access is paused at the monthly cap and resumes at the start of the next billing period (or sooner if you contact support to raise your cap). You’ll receive notifications as you approach your limit. Can I change my plan?

• Free to Pay-as-you-go: Add a payment method at any time
• Pay-as-you-go to Pro: Upgrade self-serve from the Studio Billing page or the Plans page
• Pay-as-you-go or Pro to Enterprise: Contact sales to upgrade
• Downgrade: Contact support to discuss your options

How do I cancel my Pay-as-you-go plan? To cancel, remove your payment method from the Studio Billing page. Your account will revert to the Free Plan. Note that this will disable API access. What payment methods are accepted? We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) and Apple Pay for Pay-as-you-go accounts. Enterprise accounts are invoiced monthly and can arrange payment terms with our billing team.
