Free tier pricing

Question

Hi there,

The information is not the same for free tier:

http://geodb-cities-api.wirefreethought.com/pricing => the free tier can have 432,000 request / day
&&  https://market.mashape.com/wirefreethought/geodb-cities/pricing => the free tier can have 1,000 request / day

Which one is correct? I guess the 432,000 request/day?

Best regards,
Sem

Hi Audrie. Just saw your reply on this thread. That's a RapidAPI requirement. They will not allow you to subscribe to any plan, even one that's free, without a valid credit card. Note you will only actually be charged if subscribing to paid plan.

Why do I need to supply a credit card for the free subscription?

Allright, that explains! Thanks alot ;-)

Hi Sem. Thanks for noticing that! What is meant on the Portal site is there is a free INSTANCE that allows the 432,000 requests/day (with certain other limitations as detailed on the pricing page). This is distinct from the Basic plan described on the Mashape pricing page, which is really intended as a trial plan before subscribing to a Pro tier. Admittedly, this is a bit confusing, so I have changed the wording slightly on the Portal site to say 'free instance'.
