Usage-based pricing
Respectify is billed on a per-comment basis. Buy an initial number of comment moderations, and set things up to automatically "top up" when you are about to run out.
How it works
- Add an initial balance to your account.
- Each API call charges against that balance.
- Optionally enable auto-topup to refill when your balance gets low.
- Top-ups start at $5 and can go much higher for large customers.
Ethical pricing
We have a strong ethos behind Respectify, and we’ve implemented pricing the same way. You pay for what you use, only. We do not have opaque “credits” where you have to figure out how much you get for what you pay; we do not have a monthly subscription.
The dashboard has full info for you at any time.

| Endpoint | Per comment (up to 1,000 words*) |

Perspective compat suggestion/feedback* is charged mainly to prevent abuse. We can waive it by request.
Why we price this way
No forced plan jumps
If usage rises unexpectedly, simply top up. You do not need to change plans or make any account adjustments.
Clear billing
You can see balance, deposits, recent charges, and endpoint usage directly in the dashboard.
Auto-topup if you want it
Keep manual control, or let Respectify top up automatically when your balance falls below your threshold.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum top-up?
$5. That is enough for testing and small sites (it’s about 2500 spam detections, or about 250 comments with just about every check turned on), and you can add more whenever you need it.
Can I set auto-topup?
Yes. The default is to top up $15 when your balance drops below $5, and you can change both settings in the dashboard.
What if I need a lot more?
You can top up well beyond the quick amounts. For high-volume use, contact us.
