What do I get with APIpulse Free?

Free gives you access to the top 3-5 cheapest alternatives for any model, basic pricing data for all 59 models, interactive calculators, and the pricing heatmap. No account required.

What does APIpulse Pro add?

Pro unlocks all 59 models ranked by cost (not just top 3-5), migration code snippets for every provider switch (Python, Node, curl), PDF report export, price change email alerts, 10 saved comparison scenarios, and lifetime updates.

Is APIpulse Pro worth it if I only use one provider?

Yes. Even single-provider users benefit from Pro's migration code (for future switches), price alerts (know when your provider raises prices), and PDF reports (for team budget planning). At $19 one-time, it pays for itself if it saves you even one hour of research.

Can I try Pro before buying?

There's no trial, but there's a 14-day money-back guarantee. If Pro doesn't save you money or time, email us for a full refund — no questions asked.

Common questions

Is the free version really free?

Yes. No account, no credit card, no limits on the free features. You get basic pricing for all 59 models, the heatmap, calculators, and top 3-5 alternatives on every comparison page. We don't gate basic information.

Why would I pay for pricing data I can find elsewhere?

You can find individual provider pricing pages, but APIpulse aggregates all 59 models in one place, ranks them by cost, and gives you migration code to switch. The $19 is for the aggregation, ranking, code snippets, and time saved — not the raw data.

What if I only use one provider?

Even single-provider users benefit from price alerts (know when your provider raises prices), PDF reports (for team budget planning), and migration code (for future switches). At $19 one-time, it pays for itself if it saves you even one hour of research.

Can I get a refund if I don't like it?

Yes — 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Email us and we'll refund you immediately. You keep everything either way.

Is this a subscription?

No. $19 one-time, lifetime access. No recurring charges, no hidden fees. You get all future updates at no extra cost.
