Launch price, yours for as long as you stay subscribed. Standard price after the launch period: US$199 a month (API 100K) or US$499 a month (API 500K). Skipper and Fleet launch prices are 30% below the standard prices and end on a date we announce at least 30 days ahead. API 100K and API 500K are billed monthly only (no yearly fee is offered). On API 100K or API 500K, usage-based billing is optional and runs under a monthly spending cap that you set. A listing-month is each listing (for example, a boat offered on a marketplace or booking site) on which you display a Compliance Card during a calendar month. Each MCP tool call counts as one request; each answer tool call also counts as one AI answer. Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC. No plan includes device embedding, offline data packs, redistribution or resale. Those need a Licence. Service credits cover availability only.

Licence — Custom, by agreement“The Licence plan is for device makers, insurers, large platforms, and sponsors, and is not self-serve.” It needs a separately signed Licence Order Form, which states the fees, limits, the licence unit (for example, active devices, policies or listings), any SLA and any extra rights.
