Q: What happens when I run out?

Requests stop at the monthly limit until your quota resets or you upgrade. There is no overage billing. Upgrades apply instantly, so you're never blocked for more than a minute.

Google, TikTok, Amazon, YouTube, Reddit and 22 more platforms on one 0-100 score. REST for your code, MCP for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.

Messy platform metrics in. One 0-100 score out.

Auth	A key per platform	None, or a blocked cookie	One Bearer token
Units	Native, incomparable	Google 0-100 only	Normalized 0-100 + volume
Schema	Different every time	Unofficial, undocumented	One JSON envelope
Failed calls	Often billed	Your problem	Never counted

No. Only successful requests count against the monthly quota. Failed requests are always free.

No, quotas reset on the first of each month. If you consistently run out, that's the signal to move up a tier, not to hoard requests.

Requests stop at the limit until your quota resets or you upgrade. There is no overage billing. Upgrades apply instantly, so you're never blocked for more than a minute.

Yes, self-serve from your account, no emails required. You keep access until the end of the paid period, then drop to the free tier automatically. Cancel during the trial and you are not charged.
