- Empty results are free: a successful call with zero results costs 0 credits.
- Cache hits are free: served from cache, no charge at all.
- Balance never expires: paid credits roll over forever. (Signup gift: 30 days.)
- Signup credits are used first, then your paid balance. Every charge appears in your ledger and can be exported as CSV.
