Maxmind Finops

MaxMind's billing model uses a unified prepaid credit system covering all GeoIP and minFraud web service queries. Credits are purchased in advance and consumed at per-query rates that vary by service tier. There are no monthly minimums, no commitments, and no subscription fees for web services. Downloadable GeoIP database products are billed separately on monthly or annual subscription terms.
