What does each pricing tier include?

Apier has four tiers, from a single developer up to accounting-software platforms serving thousands of client organisations. A subscription buys throughput and support, not a bundle of calls: the matrix above shows each tier's enforced rate limits — requests per minute, the stricter per-minute limit on company-data endpoints, and the per-organisation daily cap — plus its support level and the solutions it unlocks. Solutions are bundled by tier rather than priced separately.

Is there free or no-signup access?

Yes. The free public endpoints are zero-auth and stay outside the tier limits, with a soft IP-level limit of 1000 requests per minute, and you can try the API with no signup on the sandbox. During the beta every tier is free; keys are still required on Category B endpoints for rate limiting and audit attribution.

How does billing work?

During the beta, all usage is free. Billing goes live only after a minimum of 30 days' advance notice by email to account owners. When billing goes live there are two independent mechanisms. A monthly subscription sets your rate limits — requests per minute and the per-organisation daily cap — and your support level. Metered company-data reads are paid separately from a prepaid credit balance: you top up in advance, and each metered read draws 50 øre from it. A subscription does not include a bundle of metered reads, and credits do not raise your rate limits. Unused credits stay on your account until they expire 12 months after the purchase date.

Can I change or cancel my plan?

When billing goes live, subscriptions can be changed or cancelled anytime via the billing portal; changes take effect at the end of the current billing period. Cancelling does not touch a prepaid credit balance — the two are separate ledgers.

Pricing

Four tiers covering single developers up to accounting software platforms serving thousands of client organisations. A subscription sets your rate limits and support level; metered company-data reads are paid from prepaid credits. Free public endpoints stay outside the tier limits — scraping the Norwegian business register shouldn't require a credit card.

A subscription sets your rate limits and support level. Metered company-data reads are paid separately from prepaid credits at 50 øre (NOK 0.50) per read — see below.

Prices are the total amount charged — no VAT (MVA) is added, because the seller is not registered in the Norwegian VAT register (Merverdiavgiftsregisteret).

Database: Stockholm, live. Compute: Vercel EU edge today; full-EU backend before real company data flows. Full posture on /trust.

Machine-readable pricing: /pricing.json (this tier matrix as JSON) and /api/v1/pricing (keyless per-call price list for every metered endpoint and MCP tool).

Prepaid credits

Credits are the second way to pay, alongside the subscription tiers above. Instead of a monthly plan you top up a balance, and each metered company-data read draws 50 øre (NOK 0.50) from it — the exact price the credit meter charges and the keyless pricing endpoint advertises. Top-ups run from NOK 50 to NOK 10,000 per transaction, and unused credits stay on your account until they expire 12 months after the purchase date.

Credits and a subscription are independent: the subscription sets your rate limits, credits pay for metered company-data reads. A subscription does not include a bundle of metered reads, and a credit balance does not raise your rate limits — you can hold either, or both — during the beta every call is free. Agents can implement the full payment loop — discover prices, handle the 402, top up, then retry — from the agent payments guide.

Where pricing is heading

Today the metered part of the product is usage-based per read: a subscription buys throughput, and each company-data read draws its price from a prepaid credit balance. As the platform matures, pricing will move toward per successful filing: you pay when an outcome is delivered — a confirmed filing — rather than per API call. This is the direction we are building toward, not a live billing change; today’s subscription limits and per-read credit pricing still apply.

Solutions — bundled by tier

Solutions chain several endpoints into one regulated answer. They are unlocked by tier rather than priced separately — the minimum tier below is the floor that includes each solution.

Solution	Minimum tier	Availability
Company Verification	Developer / Free	Status: Live
Signature + Authority	Developer / Free	Status: Live
Obligations + Deadlines	Developer / Free	Status: Live
Annual Accounts Monitor	Starter	Status: Live
MVA Filing + Receipt	Starter	Status: Beta

Free public endpoints — outside tier limits

These endpoints are distribution tools, not products. They are zero-auth, cacheable, and never counted against your tier's per-key rate limits. An IP-level soft limit of 1000 requests per minute applies instead, so the discovery surfaces stay fast for everyone.

Path	Summary
/api/v1/public/deadlines	Norwegian business deadlines for a given calendar year
/api/v1/public/obligations	Generic Norwegian business obligations by entity type
/api/v1/public/company-status	Bulk company status for up to 100 organisation numbers
/api/v1/tools/exchange-rate	Official Norges Bank NOK exchange rate for a currency and date
/api/v1/tools/altinn-migration	Altinn 2 role → Altinn 3 access package mapping (zero auth)
/api/v1/capabilities	Machine-readable capability manifest (agent discovery)

Try them without a key on /sandbox or pull copy-paste workflows from /examples.
