description: >-
  Noun Project prices its API on a hybrid model with three tiers. A 30-day free
  trial allows up to 1,000 service calls per day and 150 icon calls per day,
  capped at $5 of equivalent value with no credit card required. The
  Pay-Per-Use tier bills $0.0025 per service call and $0.0095 per icon call
  against a $25 monthly minimum with daily caps of 200,000 service calls and
  10,000 icon calls. A Custom Enterprise plan layers discounted per-call rates
  on a $300 monthly minimum with unlimited daily and monthly volume, dedicated
  account management, and consolidated billing. Service calls cover non-icon
  endpoints; icon calls cover requests that include an icon ID.
