finops: description: >- TextGears API uses a request-based subscription model billed monthly or annually. Annual billing provides a 20% discount across all paid plans. Usage is metered against monthly quotas with hard enforcement — exceeding the quota returns error code 607. No pay-per-use overage is documented; upgrade to the next plan tier to increase capacity. billing: model: subscription cycles: - monthly - annual annualDiscount: 20 currency: USD paymentRequired: false notes: Free plan requires no credit card. costDrivers: - name: Text-Checking Requests description: >- Each call to /grammar, /spelling, /correct, /suggest, /detect, /analyze, or /readability consumes one request from the monthly quota. unit: request scope: monthly-quota - name: Translation and Rephrase Characters description: >- Characters processed by translation and rephrasing endpoints are counted separately against the character quota included in each plan. unit: character scope: monthly-quota - name: Text Length per Request description: >- Maximum text length per API call is gated by plan tier. Free and Silver allow up to 4,000 characters; Gold allows up to 16,000 characters. Platinum is custom. unit: characters-per-request scope: per-call optimization: - tip: Use annual billing for a 20% cost reduction on Silver and Gold plans. - tip: >- Batch shorter texts into a single request where possible to minimize request consumption against the monthly quota. - tip: >- Use the /spelling endpoint instead of /grammar when only typo detection is needed — verify whether endpoint-specific quotas apply for your use case. - tip: >- Monitor quota consumption via GET /account/resourcequota to avoid unexpected 607 errors in production. - tip: >- Select a regional base URL (eu, us, sg) to reduce latency and avoid round-trips through automatic routing when traffic is region-specific. pricingURL: https://textgears.com/#pricing tiers: - plan: Free monthlyPrice: 0.00 annualMonthlyPrice: 0.00 requestQuota: 500 characterQuota: 200000 maxTextLength: 4000 - plan: Silver monthlyPrice: 29.95 annualMonthlyPrice: 23.96 requestQuota: 50000 characterQuota: 20000000 maxTextLength: 4000 - plan: Gold monthlyPrice: 99.95 annualMonthlyPrice: 79.96 requestQuota: 500000 characterQuota: 100000000 maxTextLength: 16000 - plan: Platinum monthlyPrice: null annualMonthlyPrice: null requestQuota: null characterQuota: null maxTextLength: null notes: Contact TextGears sales for custom enterprise pricing.
