Plans and credits

How credits, credit plans, MCP plans, top-ups, usage windows and the free trial work.

Goal: understand what you pay with, which plan fits how you call Anysite, and what happens when credits or a plan run out. Prices are on the plans page, not here.

ACTION FOR THE HUMAN: open https://app.anysite.io/billing?tab=plans (Open plans).

Credits

• Every charged call spends credits (also called points) from your plan's balance. The cost of each call is returned in the x-credits-charged response header, and the credits left in x-token-points.
• A balance holds two kinds of credits:
  • Plan credits — set to the plan's amount at every renewal. Unused plan credits do not carry over.
  • Purchased credits — bought as a one-time top-up. They are not reset on renewal.
• Plan credits are spent first, then purchased credits.
• All API keys of one plan share the same balance.
• A lookup that found nothing still costs a credit on most endpoints — a "not found" (412) is charged, and so is a search that returned an empty list. A short, fixed list of database and enrichment endpoints answers a free 209 instead. x-credits-charged: 0 on the response means the call was free. The full rule is in Errors and limits.

Two kinds of plans

	Credit plans (Starter, Growth, Scale, Pro, Enterprise)	MCP plans (MCP, MCP x5, MCP x15)
REST API	Yes	No — calls return 403
MCP server	Yes	Yes
API keys	Copyable, managed on the Billing page	No copyable key; connect on the MCP page
Top-ups	Yes	No
Usage windows	Only if the plan sets them	5-hour and weekly windows; higher tiers raise them

A plan's requests-per-minute limit is shown on its card on the plans page and next to each key on the Billing page.

Usage windows

Plans with usage windows cap the credits spent over a rolling 5-hour window and a rolling weekly window, and some add LinkedIn-only windows of the same lengths. When a window is full, calls return 429 until older usage leaves the window. For an MCP plan, the percentage used of each window is shown on the MCP page.

ACTION FOR THE HUMAN: open https://app.anysite.io/mcp (Open MCP usage).

Top-ups

A top-up adds purchased credits to your credit plan's balance. Buying one requires an active credit plan. Purchased credits can be spent only while the plan is active: after the plan ends, calls return 401 Token expired until you renew it.

When credits or a plan run out

Situation	API response
Balance has fewer credits than the call's price	401 Points limit exhausted, required at least N points
Plan period has ended	401 Token expired
A usage window is full	429 with retry_after

A call that returns more results than its base price covers can take the balance below zero. The negative amount is subtracted from credits you add later.

Managing your subscription

Everything below happens on the Billing page.

ACTION FOR THE HUMAN: open https://app.anysite.io/billing (Open billing).

• Cancel. Click Cancel on the active subscription. It takes effect at the end of the current billing period — your access and credits continue until then, and you can reactivate before the period ends.
• Invoices, receipts and payment methods. "Invoices & payment methods" on the subscription opens the payment portal, where they all live.
• Promo code. On the Plans tab, click "I have a promo code" on the plan card, enter it and apply — not on the payment page, which has no promo field. A code works only for a new subscription, not for a plan change, and it replaces the free trial: the subscription starts right away.

Free trial

• The Starter plan and the MCP plan each offer a 7-day free trial. The trial is not offered if you already had a plan of the same kind (credit or MCP), or after a card-free trial. A promo code replaces the trial: the subscription starts right away.
• Without a card: an account on a work email gets its trial started automatically once the email is verified and onboarding is finished — provided it never had a plan of that kind and has no credits. Onboarding decides whether this is a Starter or an MCP trial. If no payment method is added by the end of the trial, the subscription is cancelled.
• Upgrading during a trial ends the trial and bills the new plan immediately.
