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.

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:

PlanIncludedOverage Rate
Pilot10,000$0.020 / delta
Starter100,000$0.012 / delta
Growth1,000,000$0.008 / delta
EnterpriseCustomCustom

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

Monitoring Usage

Via API

Check your current balance and usage:

bash
# Get credit balance
curl https://balance-api.pacspace.io/dashboard/credit/balances \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
json
{
  "data": {
    "creditBalance": 95000,
    "availableBalance": 94200,
    "reserved": 800
  }
}

Via Webhooks

Each verification.completed webhook event includes billing data:

json
{
  "event": "verification.completed",
  "data": {
    "batchId": "batch_abc123",
    "itemCount": 50,
    "creditsConsumed": 50,
    "remainingBalance": 94150
  }
}

Set up a webhook endpoint to track consumption in real time.

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.
