# Pricing & Rate Limits

> Subscription pricing and per-endpoint daily rate limits

## Subscription

VidJutsu requires an active **\$99/month subscription** to use the API. Access covers:

* All intelligence endpoints (watch, extract, transcribe, check, compliance, overlay)
* Unlimited storage operations (accounts, posts, assets, references, upload)

## How billing works

* **Monthly recurring** via Stripe. You're billed on the same date each month.
* **Flat rate** — no per-call charges, no metered billing, no top-ups.
* **Daily rate limits** per endpoint (see below). Reset at 00:00 UTC.
* When you hit a limit, calls return **HTTP 429** with a `retryAfter` hint.

## Daily rate limits

Each endpoint has its own bucket. Buckets are independent — hitting the `watch` limit doesn't affect `compliance`.

| Endpoint                            | Calls / day |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------- |
| `POST /v1/watch`                    | 50          |
| `POST /v1/extract`                  | 100         |
| `POST /v1/transcribe`               | 30          |
| `POST /v1/check`                    | 100         |
| `POST /v1/compliance/video`         | 20          |
| `POST /v1/compliance/prompt`        | 100         |
| `POST /v1/overlay`                  | 50          |
| `POST /v1/upload`                   | 100         |
| `POST /v1/posts` (and related CRUD) | 200         |

Accounts, assets, references, and read-only endpoints are unmetered.
