# Pricing

> The eBRC API is free for general use: 250 production certificates a month, 10 exporter entities, sandbox not metered. Committed volume is quoted individually.

The API is free for general use. This page is the exact definition, so nobody has to guess.

## Free general use

| Allowance                         | Included                   |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Production certificates generated | **250** per calendar month |
| Exporter entities per account     | **10**                     |
| Sandbox use                       | Not metered                |

Only certificates generated in the production environment count: reads, status polls, downloads, and everything in the sandbox are free. The figure is the same one your console shows each cycle.

Per-endpoint [rate limits](/authentication#rate-limits) apply to every account, free or contracted. They protect the service and are not a pricing lever.

<Note>
  Nothing blocks mid-cycle if you cross the allowance. Filings are compliance work, and we treat them that way: your desk keeps filing, and we get in touch about a plan.
</Note>

## Committed volume and customisation

Volume plans are shaped around your numbers, not a price list. Email [amin@eximfiles.io](mailto:amin@eximfiles.io) with:

1. Expected certificates per month
2. Number of exporter entities
3. Anything custom you need

You get a quote back, and production continues uninterrupted while you talk.

## The exporter app

The exporter app at [ebrc.in](https://ebrc.in) is a separate product and is free forever, at any volume, with no card at sign-up.

## The fine print

Allowances are published limits under the [API Terms](https://ebrc.in/api-terms) and may evolve prospectively with notice.
