Frequently asked

Questions before you pay.

What counts as an API call?

One billable hit on a metered endpoint (/v1/score, /v1/area, /v1/query, /v1/peers, /v1/insights, /v1/forecast, /v1/portfolios, /v1/batch). Repeat calls inside the 24-hour idempotency window come from the cache and don't count.

What is a soft cap, and what does the overage cost?

Build, Scale, and Growth carry +25% headroom above the included monthly count. Calls in that headroom band are charged at £0.05 (5p) per call on the next invoice. Past +25% the limit becomes hard and further calls return 402 Payment Required. Sandbox and Starter are hard-cap (no overage by design). Enterprise is negotiated in the MSA.

Can I change plans?

Any time, from /dashboard/billing. Upgrades prorate immediately; downgrades take effect at the end of the billing cycle. Cancelling stops renewal and you keep access until the cycle ends.

What happens when I hit the limit?

On a hard-cap tier, further calls return 402 Payment Required and the dashboard surfaces an upgrade prompt. On a soft-cap tier, you continue through the +25% headroom at the overage rate, then 402 above that. Quotas reset on the first of each calendar month.

What is the MCP add-on?

The Model Context Protocol server exposes OneGoodArea to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. £29 per month as an add-on on Sandbox, Starter, Build, and Scale. Included free on Growth and Enterprise. Set-up walkthrough at /docs/mcp.

Do cached responses count against my quota?

No. Idempotency cache hits (24-hour window via the Idempotency-Key header) are free. Your monthly quota only decrements on live computations. The cache hit is signalled on the X-Idempotency-Replayed response header.

Is payment information secure?

All billing is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card. Cancel, upgrade, and manage payment methods from the Stripe billing portal linked from /dashboard/billing.

Can I get a refund?

We refund unused portions on a case-by-case basis. Email operation@onegoodarea.co.uk within 14 days of a charge and we'll sort it. No dark patterns.
