### 💰 API Pricing & Cost Management
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rentcast API Pricing
|
||||
Rentcast offers several pricing tiers for API access. See [official pricing](https://www.rentcast.io/api#api-pricing) for current rates:
|
||||
- **Free Tier**: Limited requests for testing
|
||||
- **Basic**: $99/month for 1,000 requests
|
||||
- **Professional**: Higher volumes with bulk pricing
|
||||
- **Enterprise**: Custom pricing for large-scale usage
|
||||
|
||||
> **Why We Cache**: Each API request costs money! Our [intelligent caching system](#-features) stores responses for 24 hours (configurable), dramatically reducing costs by serving repeated requests from cache instead of making new API calls. This can reduce API costs by 70-90% in typical usage patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cost Management Features
|
||||
- **Automatic Cost Estimation**: Know before you spend
|
||||
- **User Confirmations**: Approve expensive operations
|
||||
- **Usage Tracking**: Monitor daily/monthly consumption
|
||||
- **Smart Caching**: Minimize redundant API calls
|
||||
- **Rate Limiting**: Prevent accidental overuse
|
||||
- **Cache Analytics**: Track hit rates and savings
|
||||
- **Mock API**: Unlimited testing without credits
