How to choose
- Price the unit you actually use (per API call (up to 100 tracker, launch or orbit rows per call); the market sells launch data as cheap memberships and space-industry intelligence as annual research subscriptions), not the headline plan.
- Check what the free tier allows before paying: several options above list one.
- Test on your own data; switch costs are usually the data format and integrations, not the price.
