Pricing

Simple quota-based pricing. No hidden fees. No overage charges.

What counts as a lookup?

Each BIN you look up counts as one lookup, regardless of response. On a batch request, every submitted BIN counts individually — a batch of 500 BINs uses 500 lookups.

How often is the BIN database updated?

Minor updates ship weekly, and a major database refresh ships every four weeks — the latter including retirement of withdrawn records. Every plan reads the same live dataset, including the free tier, so freshness is not a paid upgrade. Refreshes are published to the changelog.

What are burst limits?

Burst limits control how many requests per second you can make. All plans include generous burst allowances for normal usage patterns.

What happens if I exceed my quota?

There are no overage charges. If you consistently exceed your plan limits, you'll need to upgrade to a higher tier. We'll notify you before any service interruption.

Can I upgrade or downgrade?

Yes. Changes take effect immediately. Prorated billing applies.

Do you offer annual billing?

Yes, for Pro/Enterprise customers. Contact us for custom annual pricing.

Is there a free tier?

Yes – every organisation starts on the free tier with 10 real lookups per day, no credit card required. It uses the same production data as paid plans, so you can try the API before subscribing. When you need more volume, upgrade to a paid plan from Billing.

What happens when I hit the free tier limit?

Requests beyond 10/day return a 429 QUOTA_EXCEEDED response with an upgrade link. The quota resets at midnight UTC, so you can keep testing the next day or upgrade for higher limits.

Which plans include the meta object?

The meta.longer_bin_available precision signal — which tells you when a longer BIN would return more specific data — is included automatically on BLAPI-150KPM and above. Batch lookups are part of BLAPI-500KPM.

Do you support batch lookups?

Yes. On BLAPI-500KPM, POST /v1/bins accepts up to 2,000 BINs in a single request and returns one result per BIN, in order — most competing BIN APIs that offer batch at all cap it at 50 BINs per request. Test-mode organisations can try it for free with mock data. See the batch lookup docs.

Can I look up BINs without writing code?

Yes. BLAPI-500KPM includes Batch CSV: upload a single-column CSV of up to 2,000 BINs on the dashboard's Batch page and download the same file enriched with scheme, funding, issuer, country, currency, and card flags. Each row uses one lookup from your daily quota, and test-mode organisations can try it for free with mock data.

Can I try paid features before subscribing?

Yes. Test-mode organisations get every plan feature enabled for free, so you can integrate against the full API — including the meta object — before paying anything.

What support is included?

Basic plans include documentation and community support. Standard includes email support. Pro/Enterprise includes priority support with SLA guarantees.
