Plans & Pricing
The APIs.io API and MCP server are free to try. Paid tiers raise your rate limits and unlock the industries, regions, and ratings endpoints (and Pro/Business-only paths as they ship). Authenticate with your GitHub account; pay with Stripe.

Log in with GitHub — get a free Starter key, then upgrade any time from your account.
How it works
- Log in with GitHub — you're issued a free Starter API key instantly.
- Send it as an
X-API-Keyheader:Code - Upgrade to Pro or Business from your account page (Stripe Checkout). Your key keeps working — its limits and access just increase immediately.
Without a key, requests run on the Free tier (no industries/regions/ratings). The apis.io website itself runs on an internal tier. See Authentication and Rate Limits for details.
