Pricing Model

The RQE API uses a hybrid pricing model. Each plan includes a base monthly allocation of requests. If you exceed your allocation, additional requests are billed at a flat per-call rate. Enterprise plans offer custom volume pricing with no per-call overage.

Sandbox Mode

Free tier requests return realistic mock data using the Binary³ demo dataset. Sandbox responses follow the exact same schema as live production responses, so your integration code works without modification when you upgrade.

Sandbox data is not derived from real domain scans. No PII or real infrastructure data is required to test.

To switch from sandbox to live data, upgrade to the Developer tier and replace your sandbox API key with your production key.

First 10 scans/month always free (no card required)—perfect for testing and development.

Scalable Rate Limits

Rate limits scale with your tier: 1/min (Free), 5/min (Starter), 20/min (Pro), 60/min (Business).

Strategic Note

You're targeting developers of security tools, compliance dashboards, CISOs, and risk-focused MSPs. Your closest competitors in function—SecurityScorecard, Bitsight, and CyCognito—charge 4–6x more but are bloated. Binary³ RQE is lean, API-native, and purpose-built for integrations. No vendor lock-in. No bloat. Just quantified risk you can build on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a card for the free tier?

No. The Free tier requires no credit card. Sign up and start using the API immediately with 5 scans/month included.

Can I white-label the risk reports?

Yes. Business tier and above include PDF branding. Enterprise customers get full white-label support with custom reporting formats (JSON, XML, HTML templates).

Is overage billed automatically?

Yes. Any scans over your monthly included amount are billed automatically at the per-scan rate for your tier. No surprise invoices—transparent billing every time.

Can I self-host the RQE engine?

Self-hosting is available for Enterprise customers only. We also offer VPC isolation and on-premises deployment options. Contact sales for details.
