API Plans
API access comes with a Land Insights Pro subscription. Your API plan sets two things: how many tokens you get each month, and whether you can call the REST API directly or only through the MCP server.
Every Pro subscription starts on the Free plan. Move up any time for more tokens and direct REST access — it’s a quick change in the app.
The plans
Section titled “The plans”| Plan | Price / month | Included tokens / month | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 — included with Pro | 5,000 | 2¢ per token |
| Starter | $149 | 30,000 | 2¢ per token |
| Growth | $349 | 75,000 | 2¢ per token |
| Scale | $749 | 200,000 | 1¢ per token |
| Enterprise | $999 | 2,000,000 | None — access pauses at your allotment |
| Enterprise Max | $1,500 | 4,000,000 | None — access pauses at your allotment |
Tokens reset at the start of each billing period — they don’t roll over.
What every plan includes
Section titled “What every plan includes”- The same tools. Every plan can reach every endpoint. Plans differ on token volume and direct REST access, not on which data you can pull.
- The same per-call cost. A property lookup costs the same 10 tokens on Free as it does on Enterprise Max. See Token Cost for the full per-endpoint list.
- MCP access. Every plan — Free included — can connect an AI assistant through the MCP server.
Free vs. paid: direct REST access
Section titled “Free vs. paid: direct REST access”The one thing the Free plan doesn’t include is calling the REST API directly with an API key:
- Free — MCP server only. Perfect for using Land Insights inside Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI assistant.
- Starter and above — full REST API access with your own
lipk_key, plus the MCP server.
Send a direct REST request while on Free and you’ll get a 402 tier_upgrade_required — move up to Starter or higher to
unlock it. The MCP server keeps working on Free either way.
How overage works
Section titled “How overage works”Your included tokens are yours to spend each period at no extra cost. What happens after that is up to you.
By default, calls past your allotment keep working and are billed at your plan’s overage rate: 2¢ per token on Free, Starter, and Growth; 1¢ per token on Scale. As a guardrail against runaway spend, access pauses once you reach 250% of your monthly allotment, and you are not billed beyond it.
If you’d rather never be billed overage, turn the usage backstop on — on the
API tab in Settings. With it on,
API access pauses for the rest of the period once you’ve spent your included
tokens. Further calls return a 402 usage_backstop_reached, and access resumes
automatically at the start of your next period.
Enterprise and Enterprise Max have no overage at all. Access always pauses when you spend your included tokens, and the backstop can’t be turned off.
Whenever access is paused for usage — at your included tokens or at the 250% guardrail — the free usage endpoints keep working, so you can always check where you stand.
Turning the backstop on part-way through a period doesn’t refund overage you’ve already run up. If you’re past your allotment when you switch it on, access pauses until the period resets.
Whichever way you set it, you’ll get email alerts as you approach your limit, and you can upgrade any time for a bigger allotment — upgrades take effect immediately.
Keep an eye on your tokens
Section titled “Keep an eye on your tokens”Track what you’ve spent this period — in total, or broken down by day, endpoint, and access mode — with the free usage endpoints, or on the API tab in Settings.
