Discogs Plans Pricing

Name: Discogs Plans Pricing
Creator: Discogs
Keywords: Music, Marketplace, Catalog, Vinyl, Community

The Discogs API is offered free of charge to all registered Discogs users. There is no metered pricing for API access — instead, Discogs enforces a tiered request-rate cap based on authentication mode (60 req/min authenticated, 25 req/min unauthenticated). Commercial monetization happens on the Discogs Marketplace, where Discogs takes an 8% transaction fee (capped at $150) plus payment-processor fees on each completed sale. These marketplace fees are reflected here as a usage-based "Marketplace Sales" plan because they meter actual money flow through the API.

Discogs Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Discogs on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.

It defines 2 plans, covering freemium and usage-based tiers, with named plans including API Access (Free), Marketplace Sales.

Tagged areas include Music, Marketplace, Catalog, Vinyl, and Community.
