We’re excited to announce new pricing tiers for Stormpath!
Since launching last year, we have kept our pricing stable and simple as we watched early customers use the API. Our goal: learn what our customers care about and then tailor pricing to people’s actual usage and concerns. Now we know!
Raised Included API Calls
The biggest piece of feedback we received: it’s hard to know how many API calls you need before building your app. To that end, we raised the API calls included at each tier, to 1M, 5M, 10M or more, respectively. So, no matter what you’re building, you should have more than enough API calls to get started and we can affordably scale with you. If you get a big signup surge, you will have more important things to deal with.
An API call to Stormpath just got a lot cheaper.
Flat Rate for Additional API Calls
We flattened the rate for additional API calls. Any calls over what’s included in your tier will be billed at $0.20/1000 API calls, a huge decrease relative to our prior plans. A flat rate is just easier for everyone.
Cheaper Access to the Full API
We lowered the cost of the tier that gets you full access to the API – features like Hosted Login screens and LDAP for $149 per month (instead of $295), per app. It comes with 5M API calls, so fire away. This is a great option for straight forward applications, with 5x the API calls of the old Premium Tier and access to the same features.
One Big Change
The lowest paid tier is increasing from $19 to $49, and is now limited to one application, with the number of included API calls raised to 1M. Why? Most customers at this tier are building proof-of-concept apps or one small app, and we need to balance affordability with access. This new tier gives customers a lot more room to load test, and also raises the API calls included. And at $49/month we can afford to give them great service.
Free Developer Tier Is Still Free. Forever.
The developer tier still gets 100,000 API calls each month, unlimited users and groups, and social login features for one application.
Current customers keep their old plans, but most will save money on the new model. Contact support@stormpath.com to find out how.
Customers with Sprint pricing for Startups can keep those perks on their current pricing plan or port the discount to a new tier.
The “Stormpath Admin” Application that is created by default will not count toward per-app pricing.
As ever, we welcome your feedback in the comments below. Our goal at Stormpath is to make developers’ lives easier with a “no brainer” service. We hope this new pricing plan means everyone developing against Stormpath can spend less time worrying about API limits, and more time building awesome products!
