Pricing Details

Under Pricing tab the API providers can set the pricing plans for their APIs. Our Yappes platform provides three type of plans.

  • FREE - If API is public and free, then this plan type can be selected and customized
  • PAID - If API is public and not free, then this plan type can be selected and accordingly customized as per the need

  • FREEMIUM - If API is public and free for some request and charges extra use, then this plan type can be selected and customized

The Pricing plans are broadly classified as two groups

  • Public - All the Pricing plans created under pricing section will be a public plan, which means it will be available to all the users who are viewing the API
