Payments & Billing
Effective: January 1, 2026
TL;DR: Pay-as-you-go credits. No subscriptions or hidden fees. Credits never expire. Refunds available for unused credits.
How Billing Works
DomScan uses a simple credit-based system:
- Purchase credits upfront
- Each API call deducts credits based on the endpoint
- Check your balance anytime in the dashboard
- Buy more when you need them
Credit Costs by Endpoint
Different endpoints cost different amounts based on complexity:
- 1 credit - Simple lookups (availability, DNS)
- 2-5 credits - Complex queries (WHOIS history, security scans)
- 10+ credits - Bulkbewerkingen, AI-aangedreven functies
See the full pricing on our API-documentatie.
