| Which plan to pick | Start on Pro. It is enough to build a small site or tool in evenings and weekends. If you hit the limit most days, Max 5x is the next step; it costs five times as much but usually works out cheaper than paying for the API directly. Max also lets you spend up to half your weekly limit on Fable, which Pro only gets through paid credits. | Run the 14-day trial on a busy repository and see how many credits a normal week uses before you pick a credit pack. Talk to sales only if you need SSO or on-premise hosting. |
