description: >-
  Cost and financial-operations view of consuming the Mighty Networks Admin and
  Headless APIs. API access is bundled into the SaaS subscription rather than sold
  as standalone metered infrastructure - you pay for a plan, and the plan carries
  an included monthly Admin API request allowance with overage on Scale. Captured
  2026-07-05 in USD.

model: >-
  Subscription-bundled API access. There is no separate API-only price. A paid
  network subscription (Scale, Growth, or Mighty Pro) is required for the Admin
  API, and the plan determines the included monthly request allowance.
costDrivers:
- driver: Plan subscription
  detail: >-
    Base monthly (or annual) fee for the network. Scale is 179 per month and is
    the entry point for Admin API access; Growth and Mighty Pro are custom-priced.
- driver: Admin API request volume
  detail: >-
    Scale includes 5,000 Admin API requests per month; requests beyond that are
    billed at 0.002 per request. Growth and Mighty Pro carry custom allowances.
- driver: Headless API usage
  detail: >-
    The beta Headless GraphQL API is a Mighty Pro capability with its own custom
    request allowance negotiated with sales.
- driver: Payment processing
  detail: >-
    Member payments collected through the platform (plans, subscriptions,
    purchases) can carry transaction and Stripe processing fees separate from API
    costs; these are a revenue-side cost, not an API-consumption cost.
optimization:
- Batch and cache reads, and page with per_page=100, to stay within the included
  monthly request allowance and avoid Scale overage charges.
- Prefer outbound webhooks over polling loops - reacting to member, content,
  course, and payment events consumes far fewer Admin API requests than repeatedly
  listing resources.
- Match the plan tier to actual monthly request volume rather than defaulting to a
  higher tier; move to a custom Growth or Mighty Pro allowance only when Scale
  overage consistently exceeds the cost of the next tier.

  Pricing and allowances are subject to change; confirm current numbers on the
  Mighty Networks pricing page and in the Admin API documentation.
