Pricing

Verdict sells one thing: the decision. Everything else is free.

Decisions

Decision	Price per call	Question
qualify_firm	$0.005	Is this firm in my ICP?
score_signal	$0.005	Does this event matter, and is now the time?
pick_person	$0.005	Who at this firm should I write to?
triage_reply	$0.003	What does this reply mean?
right_person	$0.003	Is this the right person to contact?
should_send	$0.003	Should this message go out now?

Prices come from the x-verdict-price-usd field on each operation in the OpenAPI document, the same value the billing ledger uses.

Free

Index reads (GET /v1/firms/resolve, GET /v1/firms/{id}, unscored GET /v1/events, GET /v1/sources), outcomes, ICP profiles, watch management, keys, balance, usage and every other account call.

Never billed

• A call that returns no answer.
• A call that fails, for any reason, including 503 decision_unavailable.
• A call refused before spend: 402 insufficient_balance or max_cost_exceeded.
• A repeated request with the same Idempotency-Key within 24 hours.
• A watch delivery retry.

Credit

You get $5 of starter credit at sign-up, no card. Test keys (vd_test_) draw on a separate, non-cash test balance. A card is needed once you pass $5 of usage or 1,000 calls, whichever comes first.

Top up with POST /v1/topup. It returns a Stripe Checkout URL. Needs account:manage.

Pack	Buy with
$20	POST /v1/topup with {"pack_usd": 20}
$50	POST /v1/topup with {"pack_usd": 50}
$200	POST /v1/topup with {"pack_usd": 200}

Auto top-up is optional: set a threshold and a pack. Balance does not expire while the account is active. Accounts with no calls for 12 months are notified and then closed under the retention policy.

Controlling spend

• X-Max-Cost-USD on any call: refused with 402 before spend if the call would cost more.
• A daily spend cap per key.
• GET /v1/usage and GET /v1/ledger (scope account:read) for spend per project, per decision and per day.

Vendor data

Phase 2 adds vendor pass-through (for example email lookup through treg or your own vendor keys). Vendor calls are billed at the vendor’s price, itemized as cost.vendor_usd with the vendor named, with no markup. Calls on your own vendor keys bill the decision price only.
