**Short answer:** each API key can make 60 requests per 60 seconds; request bodies are capped at 256 KiB and images at 4096 pixels per side. Monthly render allowances per plan are listed below as pre-launch prices: billing is connected in a later release, so nothing is charged or metered against them yet.

## Request limits [#request-limits]

## Plans and allowances (pre-launch) [#plans-and-allowances-pre-launch]

Billing is connected in a later release. The table below is the pre-launch catalog; prices and allowances may change before launch.

| Plan        | Price                                 | New renders a month    | Brand kits |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------- |
| Free        | $0                                    | 100                    | 1          |
| Starter     | $19/month ($15/month billed yearly)   | 1,500                  | 3          |
| Growth      | $49/month ($40/month billed yearly)   | 6,000                  | 10         |
| Scale       | $149/month ($125/month billed yearly) | 25,000                 | 30         |
| Credit pack | $15 one-time                          | 1,000, valid 12 months | —          |

How credits will work once billing is connected:

* One credit is one new render up to 2400×2400 pixels.
* Cache hits and watermarked previews cost nothing.
* Subscription allowance is used first, then credit packs (oldest first), then opted-in overage on Growth ($0.012 per render) or Scale ($0.010 per render) up to a cap you set. Otherwise the request returns `402 insufficient_credits`.

Browser vectorization on vectorfast.ai stays free and does not use credits. See [pricing](/pricing) for the full plan comparison.

## Check your usage [#check-your-usage]

`GET /v1/usage` returns renders and cached renders for the current calendar month (UTC). Until billing is connected it reports `credits_charged: 0` and `credits_remaining: null`.
