# Plans and pricing

URL: https://docs.healthcare.dev/plans

Every plan includes every core dataset, the MCP server, the SDK and the CLI. Every API and MCP
call needs a key, and an MCP tool call costs exactly the same as a REST call. Prices are public
and the same for everyone; there is no sales call and no contract. The
[pricing page](https://healthcare.dev/pricing) has the same numbers.

- **Per included call** is the plan price divided by its included calls.
- **Annual billing** is 10x the monthly price: two months free. Included calls and overage are
  still counted per calendar month (UTC).
- Every billable call counts the same, whatever the dataset. `/v1/status` and `/v1/datasets`
  never count, and neither does the change feed (`/v1/changes`) on the plans that include it.

Some of these features are still rolling out; the [changelog](/changelog) announces each one. A
route that needs a feature your plan doesn't include answers `403` `plan-upgrade-required` with
the plan that does.

## Limits and the spend cap

- **Free** stops at its included calls. The first time an account reaches them, its keys keep
  working for 48 hours, once per account. After that, calls return `429` `quota-exceeded` until
  the 1st of the next month (UTC).
- **Paid plans** keep working past their included calls and bill each extra call at the plan's
  per-call rate on the next invoice. A spend cap, 2x the monthly plan price by default and
  adjustable in the dashboard, stops calls with `429` `spend-cap-reached` before you spend more
  than you chose. Emails go out as you approach it.

See [Rate limits and quotas](/rate-limits) for the headers and retry behavior.
