Veryfi API Terms – Starter Plan
    Last Updated: February 6, 2026

    These terms cover developers using Veryfi’s API on our Starter plan (self-serve, pay-as-you-go).

    Starter vs Enterprise:

    • Starter: Self-serve signup, these online terms apply, no legalese contract needed
    • Enterprise: Custom pricing, dedicated support, and volume discounts – we’ll share a detailed contract with you that supersedes these terms

    If you upgrade to Enterprise or contact our sales team, we’ll send you a proper agreement tailored to your needs.

    1. What You Get

    API Access to:

    • Receipt OCR & data extraction
    • Invoice OCR & data extraction
    • Bank statement OCR
    • Document classification
    • 39 document types supported

    Starter Plan Includes:

    • 100 free API calls/month
    • Pay-as-you-go beyond that ($0.10/document)
    • Standard API support (email, docs)
