A note from the founders

We built Zuplo because the API gateway market punishes you for succeeding. The minute traffic grows, your bill multiplies — often with per-seat fees, surprise egress, and "contact us" pricing for anything useful.

So our pricing is the opposite. There's a real free tier you can ship on. Builder is a flat $25 plus transparent per-100K-request add-on. Enterprise is custom — and the only place it should be custom — because every team's SLA, retention window, and security posture is different. We don't charge per developer. We don't paywall the developer portal. We don't gate community support.

If something on this page doesn't feel honest, tell us — we'll either explain or change it.
