Free vs paid results

The named product’s sibling identities stay visible on Free; per-listing and unified revenue estimates are hidden. Basic and Pro unlock revenue estimates.

Paid access does not fill coverage gaps or unknown values. Returned plan metadata and lock notes explain redaction where applicable. Read the full Free data policy.

Rate limits and usage credit

Plan	Calls per tool / day	All tools / week
Free	5	50
Basic	100	700
Pro	300	2,500

Days reset at 00:00 UTC. The combined ISO week resets Monday at 00:00 UTC. Every served tool call counts, including cached reads. Failed or refused calls are released along with any charge. Compare plans.

After either allowance, Basic and Pro can opt in to pay $0.02 in usage credit per call to get_app_family. A call exceeding both windows is charged once. Free is refused past its allowances; paid plans without opt-in or enough credit are also refused with HTTP 402 / JSON-RPC -32004.

Credential request throttles and, for live keyword work, store-work throttles also apply. Follow retry instructions in the error reference.
