One price list. Every platform.

Yes. Every account gets a free tier with no credit card required, and it covers all 36 platforms — social feeds and video comments, app stores, ad libraries, review sites, maker communities and storefronts alike. There is no platform you have to upgrade to reach.

No. One API key and one price list cover every platform FetchLayer supports. There's no separate Reddit price, Twitter price, or App Store price — the request-based pricing below applies uniformly.

A subscription is cheaper per request if your usage is predictable — each tier bundles a monthly request allowance at a lower effective rate than buying credits one at a time. Pay-as-you-go ($1.99 per 1,000 requests) is better for spiky or unpredictable usage, or for trying the API before committing to a plan.

Requests beyond your monthly allowance are billed at the pay-as-you-go rate — you're never hard-cut-off mid-month. You can also upgrade tiers at any time; the change applies immediately.

One API call to any endpoint counts as one request, regardless of how many items it returns (for example, a single subreddit-posts call that returns 25 posts still counts as one request). Pagination for larger result sets uses one request per page.

Yes. For production volume we size a plan by throughput instead of credits: give the platform you depend on its own dedicated infrastructure for $400 a month, and add blocks of about 21 requests a second (roughly 55M a month) for $500 each. Every other platform works on the same key, from your credits. 99.8% monthly uptime on dedicated platforms, and 24-hour support on Slack or Telegram. Build your plan →

It's not close. Reddit's official commercial API access starts around $12,000/year, negotiated directly — there's no self-serve tier for business use, and the free tier explicitly bans commercial use entirely. X/Twitter deprecated its legacy Basic and Pro subscription tiers in May 2026 — new developers are on pay-per-use pricing instead, at $0.005 per post read and $0.015 per post created, capped at a few million reads/month before Enterprise pricing (around $42,000/month) kicks in. FetchLayer covers both platforms — plus 34 more, from app stores and ad libraries to review sites, maker communities and storefronts — for $1.99 per 1,000 requests pay-as-you-go, or from $25/month on a subscription with 15,000 requests included. 10,000 read-equivalent requests a month costs roughly $19.90 pay-as-you-go on FetchLayer, versus $50 in per-read charges alone on X's current pricing — before any posts, profile lookups, or Reddit's four-figure annual floor.

Because FetchLayer isn't licensing raw platform access the way Reddit and X do — it's a scraping and structuring layer over publicly available data, which is a fundamentally cheaper thing to operate and sell than negotiated enterprise contracts or metered per-call pricing built for well-funded companies. Reddit's official API has no self-serve commercial tier at all, and X's current pay-per-use pricing charges per read and per post with only a small trial allowance. FetchLayer's pricing is built around per-request economics instead: one credit per call, no multipliers for harder-to-fetch data, and no five-figure minimum commitment — you can start on the free tier and scale up only when your usage actually grows.
