Free for artists. Metered for partners.

Artists never pay. Apps that read artists pay by the volume of requests they make. Small volumes cost nothing, large ones get a plan.

Who pays

Who pays, and for what.

Artists never pay. Apps that read artists at volume are the ones who pay.

The meter

One meter.

Requests per month decide the band. Nothing switches off when you cross into the next one.

Band 1 Free Small volumes. Most apps never leave this band.
Band 2 A plan Large volumes. Sized to the requests you make.
Band 3 Talk to us Reading artists at scale, or a roster to bring. Write first.

Where one band ends and the next begins is settled with the first partners.

Questions

What partners ask first.

Four questions, and where the answer is not settled it says so.

Do artists ever pay? No. The handle, the pages, the team and verification are free for the artist, and stay free.
Does a 304 count? We decide this with the first partners. Conditional requests are the way to keep volume down, so the answer will favour them.
What happens when we grow? Nothing switches off. When your volume passes the free band, we write to you about a plan. Amounts are settled with the first partners, not printed here.
