Pay per use. No seats, no sales calls.
Credits are 1¢ each and you buy them as you need them. You pay for verified work, not licenses — and there is no plan to outgrow, because there are no plans.
What each call costs
Every response tells you what it charged. Prices are per call, in credits, at 1¢ per credit.

Prices shown are the per-call table effective 2026-07-28. Your account is charged at the table in force at its creation while its early-access lock-in holds — your console states which.
Lock in today’s rates: accounts created during early access keep these per-call prices for twelve months after general availability. Prices will increase after early access.
New accounts start with 100 free credits — no card is needed to sign up. Add a card (nothing is charged) and your balance is topped back up to 500 credits every month from the first calendar month after signup: ≈ $5 of verification, 25 citation checks plus quote credits. It is a floor, never a subtraction, and credits you have purchased above it are never touched. An early-access offer that may change.
Credit packs
Top up when you need to. Credits do not expire monthly — the free-tier floor tops your balance up, it never sweeps it.
Checkout is hosted by Stripe — card details never touch verdict.io.
How billing behaves
These are contract, not policy — they hold on every call.
Estimates are pre-authorized
The difference is refunded after the run, and engine failures refund fully.
Retries never double-charge
Idempotency is server-enforced; a replayed response is marked in the meter rather than billed again.
We charge less when our coverage gaps
A citation we cannot decide costs 1¢ instead of 3¢. Charging less on honest gaps is deliberate — we don't profit from our own gaps.
Published pricing cannot drift from charged pricing
The served manifest, the pricing contract, and the billing ledger all read one table.
