## Questions

- How does the free allowance work?

  Every account gets 1,000 identification requests free each calendar month (UTC), with or without a card. The allowance resets at the start of every month.

- Do I need a credit card?

  No. Sign up and use 1,000 requests a month without one. Add a card in Settings → Billing only when you need more.

- What happens after the free 1,000 requests?

  With a card on file, each 1,000 requests beyond the free 1,000 costs $0.10. Without a card, further requests that month are refused with HTTP 429 (QUOTA\_EXCEEDED) until the next month starts or you add one.

- How am I billed?

  Monthly through Stripe, for the requests beyond your free allowance. The rate is $0.10 per 1,000 at every volume, with no plans, minimums or annual contracts.

- What counts as a request?

  Each successful identification call your site makes with your API key. Visitor IDs computed without an API key stay in the browser, never reach TraceTail and are not counted.

- Is there a rate limit?

  Yes: 100 requests per second per API key, to protect the service from abuse. Requests above it receive HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header.

- Can I stop paying at any time?

  Yes. There is no contract. Cancel billing from Settings → Billing whenever you like and you keep the free 1,000 requests a month.
