Oracle Platforms Plans Pricing
Oracle's commercial model for these APIs. The critical fact for an API consumer: Oracle does not price API CALLS. There is no per-request charge, no request quota, and no API tiering across the OCI control plane — the six APIs profiled here are the management interface to resources, and the resources are what is metered. Rate limits exist (see rate-limits/) but they are protective throttles, not billing boundaries.
Oracle Platforms Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Oracle Platforms on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 4 plans, covering freemium, usage-based, committed-spend, and license-transfer tiers, with named plans including Oracle Cloud Free Tier, Pay As You Go, Annual Universal Credits, Bring Your Own License.
Tagged areas include Analytics, Cloud Computing, Database, Enterprise Software, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service.
Plans
Two components. (1) A 30-day trial carrying US$300 in cloud credits, usable across all OCI services. (2) Always Free Services, which have no time limit and continue after the trial credits expire or are consumed. If nothing is done after 30 days the account converts to Always Free only.
Post-paid consumption billing. Pay only for services that exceed the monthly free amounts included in Always Free Services. Per-service unit rates are published on the Cloud Price List; Oracle states the same rate applies in every commercial region.
Prepaid annual commitment drawn down against any eligible OCI service, at discounted rates versus Pay As You Go. Negotiated; no public price.
Existing on-premises Oracle Database and middleware licences applied against the OCI equivalent, reducing the metered rate. Relevant to the Autonomous Database and Database Service APIs profiled here.
