The AppHighway Points System Explained
Understanding how points work, which APIs cost how many points, monthly resets, and strategies to optimize your point usage for maximum value.
TL;DR
- Every API call consumes points based on computational complexity (1-7 points)
- Points reset monthly on your billing date - unused points don't roll over
- Failed API calls don't consume points - you only pay for successful processing
- 4 subscription tiers: Free (150 pts/mo), Starter (1,200 pts/mo), Pro (3,500 pts/mo), Scale (9,000 pts/mo)
- All 50+ APIs are included in every plan - only point allocation differs
Why Points-Based Billing?
Traditional API platforms charge per request, which can be unfair when some operations are simple while others are computationally expensive. AppHighway's points system ensures you pay fairly based on actual resource consumption.
