# Pricing

### Fee Breakdown

{% hint style="info" %}
Free APIs (i.e API's with only free charges), are free to use. We take no fees from them.
{% endhint %}

#### Partner Fees

PayPI charges fees on payments taken on the platform. PayPI takes **8%** of the payment value and the rest will be transfered into your balance, minus any currency [conversion fees](/misc/charge-currencies.md#exchange-rates). 
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Subscriber Fees

Subscribers are charged £1 or $2 or €1.3 each month they make a request to a paid API depending on their currency. 

For example, if a UK subscriber makes paid requests to two paid APIs in a month they will be charged £2. If the next month they make paid requests to only one paid API they will be charged £1 for that month. If they make requests to only free APIs, or free charges, they will be charged nothing.
{% endhint %}

### Pricing example

If you have a charge for £0.01 per request and a subscriber makes 100 requests, totalling £1 of usage. PayPI will take 8% which is £0.08, leaving £0.92 which will be transfered into your balance and paid out at the next payout date (note this value does not account for [currency conversion fees](/misc/charge-currencies.md#exchange-rates) which may be applicable). The subscriber will be charged £1 for their usage (plus any applicable tax), along with a £1 processing fee for that month.
