Billing units and example workloads
Paid overages are $0.0001 per text unit, $0.001 per image unit, and $0.01 per video unit. These are Vettly billing units, not a universal unit shared by other providers. Confirm video duration and processing limits against the API documentation before estimating a media-heavy workload.

Pricing questions
Is there a free tier for the Vettly moderation API?
Yes. The Free plan includes 15,000 decisions per month across text, image, and video, with starter policy templates, decision IDs, and a 24-hour audit history. No credit card is required.
What happens if I go over my monthly decision limit?
Paid plans bill overage monthly at $0.0001 per text unit, $0.001 per image unit, and $0.01 per video unit. The Free plan stops accepting new decisions until the next month.
What counts as a decision?
A decision is one moderation evaluation of a piece of content - a text string, an image, or a video. Every decision returns a decision ID you can search, audit, and appeal.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Yes. Plans are billed monthly and can be changed or cancelled at any time. Your decision history and audit trail remain available for the retention window of the plan you were on.
