What counts
## One lookup per call.
Every tool counts as a single lookup; see `get_billing` and the [docs](https://askravn.com/docs#tools).

- / 01
### Lookups: included
[Email verification](https://askravn.com/features/email-verification-api), [email finding](https://askravn.com/features/email-finder-api), [website reads](https://askravn.com/features/website-scraper-api), [phone validation](https://askravn.com/features/phone-validation-api) and [IP to company](https://askravn.com/features/ip-to-company). One lookup per item checked.

- / 02
### People, company & carrier: your own key
[People](https://askravn.com/features/people-search-api), [company](https://askravn.com/features/company-enrichment-api), [reverse](https://askravn.com/features/reverse-email-lookup) and live carrier tools run on your own provider account — People Data Labs for people and companies, Twilio for carrier. Each is one lookup on your plan; Ravn stores nothing and resells nobody’s records.

- / 03
### Misses: free
A `not_found` gives the lookup back. You pay for answers, not attempts.

- / 04
### Beyond 10,000: $1 per 1,000
Ravn is $24 a month and includes 10,000 lookups a month. After that every lookup is $0.001 ($1 per 1,000), billed monthly. Set a monthly spending cap any time (default $100 of usage beyond the plan, $0 stops at 10,000) with `npx ravn cap <dollars>`; at the cap the API answers 429 `spend_cap_reached`.

FAQ
## Billing questions.
[All questions →](https://askravn.com/faq)

Do I need a card to start?No. The free plan gives you 1,000 lookups in total, no card and no password: we email you a 6-digit code.
How do I upgrade?Sign up free, then run `npx ravn upgrade` (or call `POST /v1/billing/checkout`) for a secure checkout link. Ravn is $24 a month with 10,000 lookups included, then $1 per 1,000, up to the spending cap you set. It renews monthly until you cancel, and subscribing means you agree to the [Terms](https://askravn.com/terms).
What if I use more than 10,000 lookups?Usage beyond the plan is $1 per 1,000 lookups ($0.001 each), billed monthly with your plan. Misses are free. Your spending cap (default $100 beyond the plan) stops usage if it gets there, and you can change it any time, including to $0 to stop at 10,000.
Can I cancel any time?Yes. Cancelling stops the next renewal and your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.
Do I need a provider key?Only for people, company and carrier tools. Connect a People Data Labs key (people and companies) or a Twilio key (carrier) with `npx ravn keys add pdl` or on the account page. Email checks, finding, website reads and IP lookups need no key.
