Developer API pricing

The developer products are monthly subscriptions with usage ceilings. They are priced in naira and are activated only after the matching Paystack plan is configured. The amounts below are the recommended starting prices, not a guarantee of provider cost or a usage invoice.

Product	Included monthly allowance	Recommended price
Exam & Mock API	10,000 catalog/study requests and 1,000 mock attempts	NGN 15,000/month

The estimate uses a blended compute allowance: roughly NGN 0.80 per exam API request and NGN 5 per mock attempt, plus database, storage, rate-limit, webhook, and support overhead. These are planning rates. Before changing prices, measure real request volume, cache hit rate, database time, storage, webhook delivery, and any provider or GPU usage for at least one billing cycle.

Configure the live plans with:

PAYSTACK_PLAN_EXAM_API_MONTHLY=your_exam_api_monthly_plan_code
PAYSTACK_PLAN_EXAM_API_YEARLY=your_exam_api_yearly_plan_code
PAYSTACK_PLAN_DEVELOPER_API_MONTHLY=your_full_developer_api_monthly_plan_code
PAYSTACK_PLAN_DEVELOPER_API_YEARLY=your_full_developer_api_yearly_plan_code

Until those plan codes exist, the subscription page displays the recommendation and Pricing coming soon; checkout is disabled. This prevents users from being charged against an unpriced product.
