Pricing questions

How much does Lightdrift cost?

Free is $0 with 500 credits a month. Starter is $29 a month for 5,000 credits, Pro is $99 a month for 20,000 credits, and Scale is $299 a month for 75,000 credits. Annual billing costs the same as 10 months. Custom plans are available by email.

What is a credit?

A search uses 1 credit per 10 results, rounded up, with a minimum of 1. A search for 10 results uses 1 credit and a search for 100 results uses 10. The same rule applies to text search, image search, and find similar.

What is free of charge?

Image details, metadata, and license lookups are free, failed searches are not charged, and the Docs MCP server does not use credits.

Do unused credits roll over?

No. Credits reset every month on your billing date. Credit packs bought on Scale or Custom never expire and are used after monthly credits run out.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Searches return 402 credits_exhausted until your next reset. On Free, Starter and Pro you can upgrade to keep searching. On Scale and Custom you can buy a credit pack of 10,000 credits for $40.

Which features need a paid plan?

Search by image, image plus text search, find similar, and more than 10 results per search. Paid plans also raise request limits: Starter allows 60 requests a minute, Pro 300, and Scale 1,000.
