💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Contribution record (contribution-record)	$0.02	Charged per FEC contribution record returned.

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.02 = $2.00 plus the start fee.
