## Pricing & API Credits FAQ

Everything you need to know about Crypto-Chief pricing, API Credits, free tier limits and how billing works across RPC Gateway, Unified API, EventStream, AML Intelligence and Crypto Processing.

## How does the API Credits model work across all products? 

Crypto-Chief uses a single, unified API Credits model for every product: RPC Gateway, Unified API, EventStream, AML Intelligence and Crypto Processing. Each action (RPC call, wallet operation, delivered event, AML check, etc.) consumes a fixed number of credits. You top up one balance and can distribute it between products however you like, instead of managing separate pricing plans or invoices.

## How do API Credits convert to USD on this pricing page? 

For transparency, each row on the pricing tables shows both: **API Credits** and the equivalent **USD price** for a single action or 1,000 actions. The exchange rate is fixed in our billing engine, so you can estimate costs up front and predict your spend before going to production. You don’t pay a percentage from volume — only for actions executed by the platform.

## What’s included in the free tier and freemium usage? 

The free tier gives you a monthly package of API Credits that can be used for core infrastructure: RPC Gateway, Unified API and EventStream. It’s designed for prototyping, testing integrations, hackathons and early-stage products. When you approach the free limit, we notify you so you can upgrade to pay-as-you-go or a subscription before anything is throttled.

## What is the difference between Pay-as-you-go and Subscription? 

**Pay-as-you-go** is ideal for variable or unpredictable workloads: you top up credits and only pay for the actions you actually consume. **Subscription** gives you a fixed monthly package with bonus credits, higher rate limits and more predictable invoices. Both options use the same API Credits model and the same per-action prices shown on this page.

## How is Crypto Processing pricing different from a % fee? 

Crypto Processing uses **action-based pricing**, not a percentage from payment volume. You pay for technical operations such as creating a PayIn invoice, sending a payout, auto-sweeping transit wallets or delivering a webhook — each with a fixed per-action price. This model is transparent and predictable for exchanges, PSPs, wallets and gaming platforms with high transaction volume and variable check sizes.

## How are RPC Gateway and Unified API billed differently? 

**RPC Gateway** pricing is based on low-level calls per network and protocol (HTTP, WebSocket, gRPC). Each 1,000 JSON-RPC method calls or 1 GB of streamed data consumes a fixed amount of credits, which is clearly listed in the RPC tables above. **Unified API** is billed per 1,000 high-level queries (blocks, transfers, tokens, NFTs) and includes indexing, normalization and caching — this is reflected in its own per-1,000 calls pricing.

## How is EventStream pricing calculated for delivered events? 

EventStream is billed per **delivered event**, plus separate pricing for **retries** and **DLQ inserts**. Each successful push to your webhook or WebSocket endpoint consumes a fixed number of credits. If your endpoint is temporarily unavailable, retries and dead-letter queue (DLQ) storage are also billed per action, as shown in the EventStream pricing table. This reflects the real infrastructure cost of guaranteed, zero-loss delivery.

## How are AML Intelligence checks priced (Address vs Transaction)? 

AML Intelligence has separate pricing for two core operations: **Address risk check** and **Transaction risk check**. Each check consumes a fixed number of API Credits and has a clear per-check USD price. Address checks are cheaper and cover ownership and sanction exposure, while transaction checks include graph analysis, flow tracking and higher compute cost — which is reflected in the higher per-check price shown in the AML table.

## What happens if I exceed my monthly API Credits? 

You can configure soft and hard limits for your projects. When you approach your limit, we send alerts so you can top up, upgrade or cap non-critical workloads. If you hit a hard cap, non-essential actions may be throttled while mission-critical flows (for example, payment webhooks) can be kept running under a custom SLA. Our goal is to protect you from surprise bills while keeping production systems stable.

## Can I mix products under one plan (RPC, Processing, AML, Events)? 

Yes. One of the main benefits of Crypto-Chief is that all products share the same API Credits pool. You can use the same balance for RPC traffic, Unified API analytics, crypto payment processing, AML checks and EventStream notifications. This makes it easy to start with a single use case and gradually add more products without renegotiating pricing each time.

## Do you offer discounts for high-volume or enterprise workloads? 

Yes. If you expect sustained high traffic — for example, millions of RPC calls, events or AML checks per month — we can offer custom volume pricing, reserved capacity and dedicated infrastructure. The Enterprise tier includes tailored SLAs, priority support and private endpoints. Use the “Talk to sales” button to share your projected usage and we’ll propose the most cost-efficient structure.

## How can I estimate my monthly bill before going live? 

Start from your expected actions: number of RPC calls, PayIn / PayOut operations, delivered events and AML checks. Multiply them by the per-action or per-1,000 pricing shown in the tables above — this gives you a realistic monthly range. Our dashboard also shows real-time usage and cost estimates once you connect your staging or production environment, so you can tune limits and optimize spend over time.
