Billing & Credits
Manage your API balance, understand pricing, and track usage. Pay-as-you-go model with no monthly commitments.
Overview
The Meirra API uses a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) credit system. You pre-load credits to your account and each API call deducts from your balance. There are no monthly fees, no minimum commitments, and credits never expire. This model gives you complete control over your spending and lets you scale usage up or down as needed.
Pay-As-You-Go Model
Key features of our billing model: • **No monthly fees** - Only pay for what you use • **No overage charges** - Hard stop at zero balance • **Credits never expire** - Use them whenever you need • **Transparent pricing** - Each endpoint has a fixed cost • **Real-time tracking** - See your balance after every request When your balance reaches zero, API requests will return a 402 (Payment Required) error. Top up anytime to resume service.
Adding Credits
Add credits to your account in the Developer Dashboard. Multiple top-up amounts are available to suit your needs. Payments are processed securely via Stripe. Credits are added to your balance immediately after payment confirmation.
