Billing & Plans

Every OverBlock data app has its own set of plans. Plans are managed inside the dashboard when you activate an app.

Billing models​

Free​

  • Rate-limited access to the app
  • No credit card required
  • Available on every app
  • Best for evaluation, prototyping, and first integration

Pay as you go (PAYG)​

Two variants depending on the app:

PAYG / requests - charged per API request in micro-USD. Your balance decrements with each call. Works for apps with REST/SSE endpoints.

PAYG / traffic - charged per GB of data delivered. Applies to streaming apps (stream-app). No minimum - pay for exactly what you use.

Subscription​

  • Fixed monthly cost
  • Credits pool (request-based) or traffic allowance (GB-based)
  • Higher limits than PAYG
  • Best for production workloads with predictable usage

Two subscription variants:

  • Credits: monthly request credits pool
  • Traffic: fixed monthly GB allowance

One-off​

  • Single purchase for a fixed amount of access
  • No recurring charges
  • Used for datasets or specific one-time access

Usage tracking​

The dashboard shows real-time usage per app:

  • Requests made in the current period
  • GB transferred (for streaming apps)
  • Remaining balance or credits
  • Historical usage charts

Topping up your balance​

For PAYG plans, you maintain a balance. When the balance reaches the minimum threshold, the dashboard notifies you. You can top up at any time.

Upgrading or switching plans​

You can change your plan at any time from the dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.

What happens at the usage limit​

  • Free - requests are rate-limited or rejected with HTTP 429
  • Subscription - requests are rejected when credits or traffic is exhausted
  • PAYG - service continues as long as your balance is positive
