Pricing is published and flat, with no per-seat charges and no sales process: every plan is self-serve from the first tier to the last. Plans include a monthly allowance of identifications: 25,000 on Starter, 150,000 on Growth and 500,000 on Scale. The effective price per identification therefore falls as volume grows, from $0.00396 on Starter to $0.00266 on Growth and $0.00200 on Scale, so growth makes each identification cheaper rather than more expensive. Annual editions are the same plans billed yearly at a 20 percent discount. Traffic above a plan allowance continues to be identified and scored rather than being cut off. The excess is billed at the plan's own per-identification rate as a line item on the next renewal invoice.
