# Pricing

Pay per query in USDC on Base via the x402 protocol. No accounts, subscriptions,
minimums, or API keys. The price is the entire cost — no gas fees (EIP-3009
transfers are gasless for the payer).

| Endpoint | Price (USDC) | What you get |
|----------|--------------|--------------|
| `GET /demo?query=TERM` | Free | 5 alphabetized suggestions, 3 queries/day per IP |
| `GET /suggest?query=TERM` | $0.005 | Full domain name suggestions (stemming, IDN normalization, alternatives) |
| `GET /status?domain=DOMAIN&scope=estimate` | $0.005 | DNS-based availability estimate |
| `GET /status?domain=DOMAIN` | $0.020 | Registry-precise availability check |
| `POST /scout` (quick tier) | $0.15 | Research job: brainstorm, expand, availability screen, rank |
| `POST /scout` (deep tier) | $0.50 | Quick tier plus registry-precise verification and web diligence |
| `GET /scout/JOB_ID` | Free | Poll a Scout job |

## Notes

- Scout's two tiers share one endpoint: the 402 response offers both prices and
  the amount paid selects the tier.
- Prices are denominated in USDC atomic units in the x402 payment requirements
  (1,000,000 = $1.00): suggest 5000, status 20000, estimate 5000, scout 150000
  quick / 500000 deep.
- Rate limits apply only to the free demo endpoint. Paid endpoints have none.

Machine-readable pricing also appears in [openapi.json](https://finddomain.io/openapi.json)
(`x-payment-info` per operation) and in each endpoint's x402 402 response.
