Muhammad Saeed uses a tiered subscription pricing model designed to serve developers and businesses at every stage of growth, from individual developers experimenting with our APIs to large enterprises running mission-critical production workloads. All pricing is in United States Dollars (USD).

  • Push notifications for alerts and incidents
  • Basic API testing and debugging tools

3.3 Future Mobile Products

We may offer standalone mobile application products or one-time purchase features in the future. Pricing for such products will be published on our pricing page and in the respective app store listings before they become available.

4. Billing Details

4.1 Billing Cycles

  • Monthly: Charged on the same calendar date each month (or the last day of the month if the original date does not exist in the current month). Example: subscribed on January 31, next charge on February 28.
  • Annual: Charged on the anniversary of the subscription start date.

4.2 Payment Methods

Through Paddle, we accept the following payment methods:

  • Major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)
  • PayPal
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay (where available)
  • Wire transfer (Enterprise plans only, by arrangement)

4.3 Currency and Localized Pricing

All prices are listed in USD. Paddle automatically handles currency conversion for international customers. The exact amount charged in your local currency may vary based on exchange rates and any additional fees imposed by your payment provider. Paddle displays the estimated local currency amount at checkout before you confirm your purchase.

4.4 Taxes

Prices displayed on our pricing page are exclusive of tax. Paddle calculates and adds applicable sales tax, VAT, GST, or other transaction taxes at checkout based on your billing address and the tax regulations applicable in your jurisdiction.

4.5 Invoices

Paddle generates and sends invoices for all transactions. Invoices are available through your Paddle customer portal and are also accessible through your Muhammad Saeed dashboard under the Billing section.

5. Plan Changes

5.1 Upgrading

You can upgrade your plan at any time through your account dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately. When upgrading mid-billing-cycle:

  • Monthly to Monthly upgrade: You are charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the current billing period at the new plan rate.
  • Starter to Pro: The 14-day free trial applies if you have not previously used a Pro trial.
  • Pro to Enterprise: Contact our sales team to arrange the transition.

5.2 Downgrading

Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle. You retain access to the higher-tier features until the end of the current billing period. When downgrading:

  • Pro to Starter: You will lose access to Pro features (GraphQL, custom domains, team seats, priority support) at the start of the next billing cycle. Any API usage above the Starter tier limits will be restricted.
  • Enterprise to Pro: Governed by the terms of your enterprise agreement. Contact your account manager.

5.3 Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time through your dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access to paid features until that date. No partial refunds are issued for unused time within the current billing period (see our Refund Policy for full details). After cancellation, your account reverts to the Starter plan with its associated limits.

6. Usage Monitoring and Overage

6.1 Real-Time Usage Tracking

Your current API call count and remaining allocation are visible at all times in your dashboard and via the mobile app. We provide real-time usage data with no more than a 5-minute delay.

6.2 Usage Alerts

We automatically send email and in-app notifications when your usage reaches:

  • 50% of your monthly allocation
  • 80% of your monthly allocation
  • 100% of your monthly allocation (overage begins)

6.3 Overage Billing

When your usage exceeds your plan allocation, additional API calls are billed at the overage rate of $0.50 per 1,000 calls for Pro plan users. Overage charges are calculated at the end of each billing cycle and included on your next invoice. Enterprise customers have custom overage terms as specified in their agreement.

6.4 Hard Limits (Optional)

Pro and Enterprise customers can set optional hard limits on their usage through the dashboard. When a hard limit is enabled and reached, additional API calls are rejected with a 429 (Too Many Requests) response rather than incurring overage charges. This feature is off by default.

7. Discounts and Special Programs

7.1 Annual Billing Discount

  • We will provide at least sixty (60) days advance notice via email before the new pricing takes effect.
  • The new pricing will apply at your next billing cycle renewal after the 60-day notice period.
