Wordnik Plans Pricing
Wordnik prices its v4 dictionary API in four flat-rate monthly tiers differentiated almost entirely by per-hour request quota. The Basic tier is free for nonprofit and research use (and a free trial for commercial use), while Hobby, Pro, and Enterprise are recurring subscriptions sold direct from developer.wordnik.com/pricing. Higher tiers also unlock additional dictionary features as they are released (children's / student definitions, etymology search, pronunciation search). All tiers help fund Wordnik's mission to document the English vocabulary.
