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 rather than 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.

- 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.
For the full billing overview, covering invoices, receipts, VAT (MVA) status, and how to cancel, see the billing guide.
