API Management
API Management is sold as a free tier, seven fixed Pro tiers, and Enterprise. The tier you’re on sets your monthly request quota, your key allowance, and how long logs are kept.
Pro comes in seven tiers. The price sets the monthly request quota:
Only valid requests count against the quota. A verification rejected for a bad key, an exhausted rate limit, or any other reason isn’t billed, so a key under attack doesn’t consume the quota you bought. On the free tier, passing the quota emails your workspace admins. If the workspace is still on the free tier 5 days later, requests to the Unkey API are limited to 5 per minute until you upgrade. Paid tiers aren’t limited when they pass their quota, so move to a higher tier to cover the extra volume.
The API keys row is the allowance your plan includes. Unlimited keyspaces are included on every tier.
Enterprise covers custom quotas, a dedicated Slack channel, annual contracts and SLAs.
Logs
A paid API tier owns both retention values, from the table above, whatever Compute plan you hold. Only when you have no paid API tier does your Compute plan set them instead:
Log drains aren’t included on any plan today. Ask support@unkey.com if you need one.
Compute
These rows apply once you have a Compute plan. Workspace rows measure what your running deployments have allocated. Per-instance rows cap what a single instance can request.
At a Compute limit, scale down or remove a deployment, or move to a plan with a higher ceiling. For a higher ceiling on the plan you already hold, ask support@unkey.com. Subdomains are unlimited, so
api.acme.com and app.acme.com count as one custom domain. “Unlimited” custom domains is a very high cap that exists to stop abuse, not a priced feature.
