Pricing

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. Each row in a Batch CSV file also counts as one lookup. This is the same on every plan, including BLAPI-1MPM.

No plan sets a fixed requests-per-second limit. On the free tier and BLAPI-30KPM to BLAPI-500KPM, the daily quota is the plan limit. BLAPI-1MPM has no fixed daily quota; it uses a monthly allowance plus any prepaid credits. On every plan, technical capacity and acceptable-use limits still apply, so tell us before sending sustained high-throughput traffic. See rate limits.

There are no overage charges. On BLAPI-30KPM to BLAPI-500KPM, requests stop for the day when the daily quota is reached. If you consistently exceed your plan limits, you'll need to upgrade to a higher tier. We'll notify you before any service interruption. On BLAPI-1MPM, lookups beyond the monthly allowance come from prepaid credits; nothing is charged automatically.

Minor updates ship weekly, and a major database refresh ships every four weeks — the latter including retirement of withdrawn records.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.

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.

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.

Yes. An upgrade is active immediately, and the price difference for the rest of the current period is charged. A downgrade starts at the next billing period. See change your plan.

Yes, for BLAPI-1MPM customers. Contact sales for annual pricing.

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.

The free tier, BLAPI-30KPM and BLAPI-150KPM include email support with a reply within 1 business day. BLAPI-500KPM and BLAPI-1MPM include priority support within 8 hours and a contract SLA for uptime. See response times.

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, BLAPI-500KPM and BLAPI-1MPM. Batch lookups are part of BLAPI-500KPM and BLAPI-1MPM.

Yes. On BLAPI-500KPM and BLAPI-1MPM, 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.

Yes. BLAPI-500KPM and BLAPI-1MPM include 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, and test-mode organisations can try it for free with mock data.

BLAPI-1MPM is $200/month and includes 1,000,000 lookups per billing period, with no fixed daily quota. It has every BLAPI-500KPM feature — batch lookup, Batch CSV, the precision signal, priority support and a contract SLA — plus access to discounted prepaid credit packs. Subscribe from Billing in the dashboard, the same way as the BLAPI plans.

The 1M included lookups are used first each billing period. They reset monthly and do not roll over. Prepaid credits are in addition to the subscription and are used only after the period's included lookups run out, starting with the pack that expires first. Credits do not reset monthly. Your balance is on the Billing page and in the X-Credits-Remaining header.

Yes. Each pack expires 12 months after purchase, and the dashboard warns you 30 days before credits expire. You can buy additional packs whenever you need them. Automatic top-ups are planned.

Credits can be used only while you are on BLAPI-1MPM. After a downgrade or a cancellation, unused credits are paused until they expire, and they work again if you return to BLAPI-1MPM. A refunded pack loses its unused credits.

Credit packs are for BLAPI-1MPM customers and are fully self-serve. Every pack size, from 1M to 500M, is bought from Billing in the dashboard by an owner or billing manager, and the credits are added as soon as the payment completes. Sign in to subscribe or buy a pack.
