Bill
Ordinary calls are $0.
Developer is included in Thorbis at $99 / company. Sandbox is in. Create a job, send Mike, collect. That is not a billing unit.
$0Calls, webhooks, rows, ordinary files
429Safety limit. Retry-After. Not an invoice.
Three different checks
Rate and concurrency
Burst and how many at once. Protects the cell. HTTP 429 with Retry-After. Passing this is not permission to bill.
Daily and monthly safety quota
A published ceiling so one shop cannot exhaust the shared plane. Hitting it pauses that class of request. It does not add a line to the invoice.
The bill
Ordinary API work stays $0. Brain, Vision, and Phone through the API are billed as those services: the $15 credit, then the published rate. Calling them does not add a second API fee.
If you need more than the published limit
We quote contracted capacity in writing. Never retroactive. Never a silent upgrade. Key rotation does not reset a tenant’s limits.

Not an API fee
- Brain, Vision, Phone, payroll, a live site: billed as themselves when they cost to deliver.
- Marketplace apps other people sell. Their contract.
- Huge contracted storage or export capacity. Quoted, not metered after the fact.
