Billing & Pricing
PacSpace bills based on Verified Deltas — each delta that completes verification counts as one.
PacSpace uses a simple, predictable pricing model based on Verified Deltas. A Verified Delta is any data item that successfully completes the verification process. You're only charged for items that are fully verified — failed or rejected items don't count.
Plans
| Plan | Included Deltas | Price per Delta | Monthly Base | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot | 10,000 | $0.020 | — | Evaluation and prototyping |
| Starter | 100,000 | $0.012 | — | Early-stage products |
| Growth | 1,000,000 | $0.008 | — | Scaling applications |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | High-volume and regulated industries |
All plans include sandbox access at no cost. Contact sales@pacspace.io for Enterprise pricing.
How Billing Works
1. Count on Verify
Credits are consumed when a delta completes verification — not when you submit the request. This means:
- Queued items → no charge yet
- Processing items → credits reserved (held temporarily)
- Verified items → credits settled (charged)
- Failed items → reserved credits released (no charge)
2. Monthly Reset
Each billing period runs for one calendar month. At the end of each period:
- Usage is tallied against your plan's included deltas
- Overages are charged at your plan's per-delta rate
- Usage counters reset for the next month
3. Overage Billing
If you exceed your plan's included deltas, additional deltas are billed at the per-delta rate for your plan:
| Plan | Included | Overage Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot | 10,000 | $0.020 / delta |
| Starter | 100,000 | $0.012 / delta |
| Growth | 1,000,000 | $0.008 / delta |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom |
Example: On the Starter plan, if you verify 130,000 deltas in a month:
- 100,000 included in plan
- 30,000 overage × $0.012 = $360 overage charge
Credit vs. Monthly Billing
PacSpace supports two billing modes:
Credit Mode (Pre-paid)
- Purchase credits upfront
- Credits are reserved when you submit data
- Credits are settled (deducted) when verification completes
- Unused reservations are released if verification fails
- Check balance:
GET /dashboard/credit/balances
Monthly Mode (Post-paid)
- Usage is tracked throughout the billing period
- Invoiced at the end of each month
- Plan includes a set number of deltas
- Overages billed at the plan rate

What Counts as a Delta
| Action | Counts? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Write operation (1 item) | Yes (when verified) | Each item in a batch counts individually |
| Write operation (10 items) | Yes (10 deltas) | Batch of 10 = 10 verified deltas |
| Fact commit | Yes (when verified) | Each fact = 1 delta |
| Read operation | No | Reads are free |
| Failed write | No | Reserved credits are released |
| Test event (sandbox) | No | Sandbox usage is free |
FAQ
When am I charged? Only when a delta is successfully verified. Submissions that fail or are still processing don't incur charges.
Can I change plans mid-month? Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing period.
What happens if I run out of credits?
New write operations will return a 402 Payment Required error. Reads continue to work. Top up credits in the dashboard or contact sales.
Are sandbox operations free? Yes. Sandbox (testnet) usage does not consume credits or count toward your plan.
