Add API metered pricing to a billing plan

API metered pricing can be added to any Anvil pricing plan, including the Anvil Free plan. Your Anvil Free, Standard, or Pro subscription determines the number of users available on your organization.

• For organizations with a Standard and Pro plan, any API usage will first draw down from your plan’s bucket for Workflow submissions or Etch e-signatures. Any production API usage beyond the plan’s limits will be charged at the metered rate.
• For organizations with a Free plan, all non-test usage will be charged at the metered rate.

The features you are able to access with the API metered plan are the features available with your primary billing plan. Developers looking to just use our APIs without any features of the Standard or Pro plans do not need to upgrade for pay-as-you-go API usage.

There are no users associated with the API metered plan add on. Users are based on your Free, Standard, or Pro plan. If you just add the API metered plan to your free account, you will have one user. If you need more users in your organization, you will need to upgrade your plan to a pricing plan with more users.

• Workflows are billed upon submission. A workflow submission is counted once all webforms associated with the Workflow have been submitted.

• Etch e-signature packets are billed upon packet completion. A packet is completed when all signatures have been received and the entire packet is available for download.

• Workflow submissions and completed Etch packets created via API or from the Anvil web app are counted the same way.

• Submissions and signatures first count toward your primary billing plan’s limit. Once you have reached your plan’s submission limits, all additional submissions will be billed at the metered, per submission rate each month.

Metered pricing is billed monthly. If you have a yearly billing plan, you will not receive monthly invoices for metered use until you have reached your annual submission or signature limit.
