# Plans and pricing

Data as of 2026-11-03. Unit: one card lookup. A lookup is one card: Google Sheets ranges, CSV files and bulk calls count one per card returned, every other call counts one. Prices in USD. Machine-readable version: https://tickermint.cards/pricing.json.

| Plan | Price | Lookups | History | Per minute | Commercial use | Link back |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No key | $0 | 100/day | current price plus 30 days | 120 | no | required |
| Free key | $0 | 1,000/day | 90 days | 300 | no | required |
| Developer | $19/mo or $190/yr | 50,000/month | Full daily history since February 2024 (Yu-Gi-Oh since September 2026) | 600 | no | required |
| API Pro | $49/mo or $490/yr | 250,000/month | Full daily history since February 2024 (Yu-Gi-Oh since September 2026) | 1,200 | yes | required |
| API Business | $249/mo or $2,490/yr | 1,500,000/month | Full daily history since February 2024 (Yu-Gi-Oh since September 2026) | 3,000 | yes | required |
| API Platform | $599/mo or $5,990/yr | 5,000,000/month | Full daily history since February 2024 (Yu-Gi-Oh since September 2026) | 6,000 | yes | not required |
| Enterprise | From $1,500 a month, by written agreement | custom | Full daily history since February 2024 (Yu-Gi-Oh since September 2026) | custom | yes | not required |

Full history per month: Developer 10,000 products, API Pro 25,000, API Business 60,000, API Platform unlimited. Full history beyond 90 days counts toward the monthly history cap: the different products whose history /v1/bulk/history, /v1/bulk/day for a day older than 7 days, or a single-card call reaching back more than 90 days returns in a calendar month. Fetching the same products again is free; 30- and 90-day charts (/products/{id}/prices?days=90) and today's bulk prices never count.

Every paid plan: 7-day free trial, card required (5,000 lookups and no bulk history until the first payment); yearly billing = 2 months free; 30-day money back, no questions. Commercial project that needs longer than 7 days? Ask for API Pro free for 30 days while you ship (https://tickermint.cards/developers#business). 10% grace over the monthly quota, then HTTP 429 until the month resets (never billed for overage).

## Which plan fits

Free keys and Developer are for personal and non-commercial use. Commercial use (a store, a paid or ad-supported app, site or bot, or any product or tool a business runs) needs API Pro or above, whatever the volume.

- Personal, hobby, student or research project (no money involved), up to 1,000 lookups a day: **Free key**
- Personal or research project that needs full history since 2024, bulk endpoints or more volume: **Developer**

Every value carries its source credit ("Prices from PriceCharting" with a link), which must stay visible. Card pages and the MCP server show the same values for free.

- Full history download (CSV): $499 research edition or $2,990 business edition, https://tickermint.cards/tcg-price-data-download

Example: a Next.js store showing market prices next to its listings is commercial use, so it needs **API Pro** ($49/mo, 250,000 lookups a month). A personal Discord bot for friends fits a **free key**.
