Pay for execution the way that fits you

Turn on routing, authorization-message, and retry optimization — priced per API call, or on the upside you capture.

Usage-based

API-call pricing

$0.02 – $0.30 / API call

Flat per-call pricing for each optimization decision. Predictable cost at any scale, ideal when you want clean unit economics.

Outcome-based

Performance-based

10% – 30% of value created

A share of recovered revenue and/or saved transaction cost. We only win when you win — zero downside to switching on.

Model depends on partner preference, industry, and business nature.

Figures for the competing vendor are taken from their publicly published pricing and product pages, last verified August 2026. Published pricing changes without notice — if this note is more than two quarters old, treat the vendor column as unverified. We do not name them here; the point is the shape of the difference, not the vendor.

Pricing questions

How does pricing work?

Two parts: a monthly analytics subscription (with included volume plus overage), and optimization priced per API call or on performance. Consulting time is included and expandable.

What counts toward my volume?

Transactions analyzed per month. Overage applies above your plan's included volume at the per-transaction rate shown.

Can I start for free?

Yes — the Free Trial gives full analytics access for your first two months, with a free consultation to get oriented.

Do you really price on performance?

For optimization, yes. You can choose 10–30% of recovered revenue and/or saved cost instead of per-call pricing, depending on your business.
