  The 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold, which invented Free/Professional/Enterprise API tiers with
  made-up request quotas. Braiins does not sell API plans by request volume; it sells software
  and takes a share of hashrate. Every figure below is quoted from a Braiins page.

description: >-
  Braiins monetises three different ways and only one of them looks like an API plan. Braiins
  Manager sells seats-free/MW-priced SaaS and gates Public API access behind the Pro tier.
  Braiins OS charges a hashrate dev fee rather than money. Braiins Pool and Braiins Hashpower
  charge a percentage of mining revenue and trading volume. The APIs themselves are not
  separately priced.

    stated_as: >-
      FPPS rewards; 0% fees with Braiins OS. Braiins does not state the standard non-Braiins-OS
      pool fee percentage on the pool landing page, and the reward-and-fees detail sits behind a

    api_access: true
    api_note: >-

  - id: braiins-hashpower-contracts
    product: Braiins Hashpower
    name: Fixed-duration contracts
    type: usage
    price: null
    stated_as: >-
      Priced per contract; the live schedule is readable from the API itself —
      GET /contract/pricing (getCurrentContractPricing) and GET /contract/cancel-fee
      (getCurrentContractCancelFees), with POST /contract/quote returning a binding-free quote
      including the cancellation-weighted premium.
    machine_readable_pricing: true
    api_access: true
findings:
  - >-
    Braiins Hashpower is the rare case where the price list is an API: three operations return
    live pricing, fee layers and cancellation fees, so an agent can cost an action before taking
    it. Recorded as machine_readable_pricing on that plan.
  - >-
    Braiins Manager is the only product where API access is a paid feature gate, and the gate is
    coarse — Pro turns the API on, Enterprise raises unpublished limits.
  - >-
    No plan anywhere is priced by API request volume.
