Pricing
Metered by request, never by screen.
A display estate of four hundred panels served from one cached response is one customer, not four hundred. Charging per screen would push you into hammering the API, which is the opposite of what anybody wants.

Questions people actually ask
Is there a free tier?
Ambient, indefinitely, for one screen and one channel. It is not a trial and it does not expire. It does require the attribution line to stay on screen, which is a small enough logo that most customers keep it after upgrading.
What counts as a request?
One call to /v1/feed, regardless of how many items come back. Fetching a hundred items in one call is one request; fetching them one at a time is a hundred, and also worse for everybody.
Do you charge per screen?
No. A display estate of four hundred panels served from one cached response is one customer, not four hundred. Metering displays would encourage customers to hammer the API, which is the opposite of what we want.
What happens if I exceed the daily limit?
The API returns the most recent successful response with a header saying so, rather than an error. A screen that goes blank is a worse outcome than a screen showing yesterday's fact, and yesterday's fact is still true.
Can I cancel?
Yes, from the dashboard, effective at the end of the period. The offline pack you have already downloaded remains valid; its signature does not stop verifying because an invoice stopped.
Put something on the screen that will still be true next year.
Ambient is free for one screen and one channel, and it does not expire. The key takes about a minute.
