The APIs.io API and MCP server are free to try. Paid tiers raise your rate limits and unlock the industries , regions , ratings , Insights depth, and the Saved Workspace (saved searches, lists, and net-new deltas) — the same across the REST API and the MCP server. Authenticate with your GitHub account; pay with Stripe.

Without a key, requests run on the Free tier (no industries/regions/ratings). The apis.io website itself runs on an internal tier. See Authentication and Rate Limits for details.
