Billing & Pricing
What happens when I finish my $1 credit?
When you finish your $1 credit, the following occurs:
Account Status
- Without payment method: Your account will be suspended until you add a payment method
- With payment method: You can continue using the service with usage-based billing
Billing Structure
- Usage-based billing: You’re billed at the end of the month for actual usage
- Spend limits: You can incur bills up to your configured spend limit
- Default limit: $50/month for new accounts (increases based on historical spend)
Payment Method Requirements
- Adding a payment method is required to continue service after credit depletion
- The spend limit is determined by your configured limit and maximum allowed usage based on your spending history
- As you spend more with Fireworks, your allowed usage limits increase
Monthly Pricing
- The $50/month pricing refers to the spend limit, not a fixed monthly fee
- You only pay for what you actually use
- Your bill is calculated based on your actual API usage throughout the month
