We're excited to announce that as of this week, our API offerings are now available to everyone – regardless of whether you have a subscription commitment or not! Anyone can now generate an API key, purchase credits, and start using our powerful APIs immediately.
Current Subscription Plans & API Credits
Our subscription plans provide different levels of API access:
All prices above exclude 21% VAT
What's New: API Access for Everyone
Previously, API access was limited to Professional and Advanced subscribers. With today's update:
- Basic plan users can now purchase API credits and access our API
- Non-subscribers can generate an API key and purchase credits without committing to a monthly subscription
- All users benefit from tiered pricing based on their subscription level
This change gives everyone the flexibility to use our API according to their needs and budget, while still rewarding our subscribers with preferential pricing.
Introducing Tiered API Credit Packages
We've designed our API credit pricing to be flexible and accessible for all users. Please note that pricing varies based on your subscription tier, with our Advanced tier members receiving the best rates.
Available API Credit Top-Up Packages
If you need more API credits beyond what's included in your subscription, or if you're using our API without a subscription, you can purchase additional credits through our tiered packages:
Understanding the Difference: Subscription Credits vs. Top-Up Credits
There are key differences between the API credits included with your subscription and those purchased as top-ups:
- Subscription Credits:
- Professional plan includes 35,000 API credits per month
- Advanced plan includes 150,000 API credits per month
- These reset with each billing cycle (unused credits do not roll over)
- Top-Up Credits:
- For subscribers: Top-up credits expire at the end of your billing cycle alongside your subscription credits
- For non-subscribers: Top-up credits never expire and remain in your account indefinitely
Subscription Benefits
As you can see from the pricing table above, maintaining an active subscription provides significant savings on API credits:
- Advanced tier subscribers enjoy up to 47% savings on API credits
- Professional tier subscribers receive up to 24% discounts
- Basic tier and free users can still access our APIs at standard rates
Note: Bishopi reserves the right to modify pricing, packages, and included features at any time. We will provide advance notice of any significant changes to our pricing structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do API credits work?
Each successful API request consumes 1 credit. Credits are deducted from your account balance in real-time as you make API calls.
Do I need a subscription to use the API?
No, you do not need a subscription to use our API. With this update, anyone can generate an API key and purchase credit packages without a monthly subscription commitment. However, subscribers benefit from included monthly credits and significantly discounted rates on additional credit purchases.
Do subscription credits roll over?
No, API credits included with your subscription plan (e.g., 150,000 credits with the Advanced plan) do not roll over to the next billing cycle. Any unused subscription credits will expire when your subscription renews.
What about credits I purchase separately?
There's an important distinction:
- For subscribers: Additional credits purchased through our top-up packages do NOT roll over. They expire alongside your subscription credits at renewal date.
- For non-subscribers: If you don't have an active subscription, any credits you purchase will remain in your account indefinitely with no expiration date.
What happens if I run out of subscription credits?
If you exhaust your subscription credits before your renewal date, you can purchase additional credits through our top-up packages to continue using the API without interruption.
Can I upgrade my subscription to get more credits?
Yes, you can upgrade your subscription tier at any time to receive more monthly credits and unlock better pricing on additional credit packages.
Are credit purchases recurring or one-time?
Credit purchases through our top-up packages are one-time transactions, not recurring subscriptions. When you buy a credit package, you'll be charged just once for that specific purchase. You'll need to manually purchase additional credits when your balance runs low.
