Plans & pricing
The Firehose subscription tiers from Free to Business plus the API-only plan — what each one includes, its quotas, and who it's the right fit for.
Firehose has four subscription tiers plus a pay-as-you-go API only plan. Every new organization starts on Free with a one-time $5 credit.

Subscription tiers (Free → Business)
Billed monthly via Stripe. They include the web dashboard — the feed, URL Watch, filters, and (on paid tiers) saved matches. Paid tiers also receive a monthly API credit grant sized to their reviewable-match allowance.
API only
Free of subscription, but trades the dashboard for pay-as-you-go API usage at $5 per 1,000 matches, funded by top-ups. Unlimited taps; rules and streaming are driven entirely through the API. No URL Watch.
You can move freely between Free and the paid subscription tiers, and between Free and API-only. To go from a paid subscription to API-only (or vice versa), step through Free first.
