dennisfQ: A few questions regarding the usage limits and pricing
I noticed that you specify "max words processed per credit/month," but I'm unclear on what constitutes a "credit." Does it refer to the specific tier I choose?
Additionally, I would like to understand the job floor price and utility endpoint price. Are these charges incurred when exceeding the limits, or how do they fit into the overall tier structure?

In summary:
- Most API endpoints are AI-powered, meaning their usage costs vary.
- The "Airports Database & Flight Duration Calculator" API is currently the only non-AI-powered utility API (details: https://sharpapi.com/en/catalog/utility). A couple of other utility-type APIs, HR-Tech related, are being prepared as we speak.
- Costs for AI-powered APIs are calculated based on dispatched AI jobs, not the quantity of HTTP requests.
- AI-powered APIs have a tier-based minimum (floor) price per job—the higher the tier, the lower the floor price for an AI job.
- Usage is calculated based on the number of input + output words processed, not tokens like some other APIs.
- Standard plans (non-LTD) involve monthly or yearly pricing for 1 credit, which includes a specific word quota. Users can buy additional credits to extend their quota or reduce them later if less AI processing is needed. Credits are billed on a monthly cycle.
- The AppSumo deal offers a unique "LTD Credit" with a significantly higher monthly word quota, refreshed every month.
- Additional standard credits can be purchased on top of the AppSumo LTD if more processing quota is required directly inside SharpAPI's Billing section. Securing a higher AppSumo LTD tier helps with cost optimization, reducing the potential need to buy standard credits later.
