Billing Explained
Understanding how our transparent pricing works.
Our Billing Model
Wyzie Subs has two ways to pay. Pay-as-you-go: buy a Pro key once, then top up any time you run out. Or subscribe monthly ($32/mo for 6,000,000 requests, about 200,000/day) for the cheapest per-request rate. Optional auto top-up keeps pay-as-you-go uninterrupted, but it only fires when you turn it on and stays bounded by a monthly spend cap you control. Pay-as-you-go goes through Stripe (credit/debit) or NOWPayments (BTC, ETH, LTC, and others); subscriptions are Stripe card only.

What Counts as a Request
Every API call draws from your prepaid balance (Pro) or daily allowance (Free). Here is exactly what each call costs.
- Subtitle search or download 1 request
Each call counts as one request, whether or not it returns a match.
- AI subtitle translation (/translate) 25 requests
Available on Pro and dev keys only. One translation machine-translates the entire subtitle file, so it is billed at 25x a standard request.
- Two-language subtitles (dual=) +1 request
A Pro download option. 1 extra request per download, charged only when a matching second-language file is found.
- Wyzie Synced (/sync) 5 requests
A Pro feature. Each successful sync costs 5 requests; a failed sync is not charged. Downloading the synced link then counts like any other download.
Free keys are capped at 1,000 requests per day (resets midnight UTC). Pro keys draw from your prepaid balance with no daily cap.
Top-Up Pricing
Base price is $0.06 per 5,000 requests. Bulk orders get a tiered discount that grows with order size, up to 35% off applied to the whole order.
| Requests | Discount | List Price | You Pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5,000 | none | $0.06 | $0.06 |
| 100,000 | 2% | $1.25 | $1.23 |
| 250,000 | 5% | $3.13 | $2.97 |
| 500,000 | 10% | $6.25 | $5.63 |
| 1,000,000 | 15% | $12.50 | $10.63 |
| 2,500,000 | 17.5% | $31.25 | $25.78 |
| 5,000,000 | 20% | $62.50 | $50.00 |
| 10,000,000 | 25% | $125.00 | $93.75 |
| 25,000,000 | 30% | $312.50 | $218.75 |
| 50,000,000 | 35% | $625.00 | $406.25 |
Any multiple of 5,000 between 5K and 100M is allowed. The top-up picker shows the exact price and previews the next discount tier as you drag.
How Billing Works
- 1
Choose a plan.
Free (personal email + captcha) or Pro ($5.00 one-time via Stripe or NOWPayments crypto). Stripe's processing fee is passed through at cost as a separate line item.
- 2
Get your API key.
Shown on the confirmation page and emailed to the address on file. Pro keys start with 400,000 requests.
- 3
Use your requests.
Free: 1,000 per day, resets at midnight UTC. Pro: drawn from your prepaid balance, no daily cap.
- 4
Watch for 80% emails.
At 80% usage we send a single-use top-up link. If auto top-up is on, the next pack buys itself when your balance falls below the threshold you chose.
- 5
Top up when needed.
Pick any amount between 5,000 and 100,000,000 requests on the top-up page. Pricing follows the tier table above.
Good to Know
- Two ways to pay. Go pay-as-you-go with a single $5.00 Pro key plus optional top-ups, or subscribe monthly for a bigger recurring allowance at the best per-request rate. Auto top-up only runs when you opt in, and you can disable it from any auto top-up email or the dashboard.
- Monthly spend cap. Auto top-up is bounded by a self-set ceiling (up to $5,000). When the rolling 30-day window crosses the cap, further top-ups pause until you raise it.
- Email alerts. Notifications fire at 80% usage and when an auto top-up runs (success, decline, or 3D Secure prompt).
- Refund policy. Digital service, so refunds are not standard. Real downtime on our side is credited as additional requests.
- Anti-abuse. Free keys require verifying a personal email address from a supported provider and a Turnstile captcha. We watch for multiple keys from the same address to keep the free tier viable.
