One request = one call to detect, parse, validate, inspect or HTML render, regardless of file size (up to 10 MB). A PDF render (format=pdf) counts as 2 requests. Prices exclude VAT; VAT is added at checkout according to your country and invoices are issued automatically. Cancel any time, the plan stays active until the end of the paid period.
To upgrade, call GET /v1/me with your key and open the checkout link for the plan and period you want, or paste your key below.
Already subscribed? Paste your key above: a Manage subscription button opens the Paddle customer portal (invoices, payment method, cancellation). Developers can call GET /v1/billing/portal with the key to get the same one-time URL.
Privacy and data
Invoices are processed in memory and discarded after the response. We store your key hash, email, plan and request counts per day. Nothing from the invoice content is retained. Data processing happens in the EU. On-premise deployment (Docker) is available on the Business plan.
