Every request protected by Arcjet is billed based on usage. A base "protected request" fee is charged for every request which includes both rate limiting and Shield features. Usage of other rules is billed on top. ### Are there any request limits? There are no hard request limits on paid accounts (the trial has usage limits). You only pay for what you use and you can set budget thresholds to avoid surprises. Billing guarantees are available to insure against volumetric attacks — your app will never go down because you hit a limit. ### How are apps counted? An app is one production application or service you protect with Arcjet, e.g., a web application or API. It includes staging/dev environments for that same app. Multiple domains for the same service are one app. ### Do you support open source projects? Yes. The Individual plan works well for non-commercial, community-maintained open source projects and includes access to all protections. ### What payment methods do you accept? All major credit and debit cards on all plans. Growth and Enterprise plans can optionally be purchased through an annual contract and paid by ACH/Wire. ## Resources - Sign up: - Book a demo: - Live example: - Docs: - Discord:
