Builder Pricing

Historical NFL data priced for builders.

Built for hobbyists, developers, researchers, and small businesses that want structured historical NFL data without procurement theater or enterprise-seat nonsense.

How to choose

Start Free if you are evaluating the shape. Move to Builder for live projects, Pro for real shipped workloads, and Team when usage is shared across a business.

What every plan gets

Public docs, versioned API routes, the same auth header model, and the same core historical data contract. Paid tiers buy more room, not a different API.

Before you pay

Read API Docs, check identifier discovery in FAQ, and make sure the slice-and-drilldown model fits your app before choosing a larger plan.

How billing works

Quotas are enforced monthly in UTC, and burst protection is enforced with a per-minute limit by plan. Paid subscriptions, upgrades, downgrades, cards, and cancellations are managed through Stripe.

Free access is provisioned automatically after sign-in. Paid plans start from Customer Portal and sync back into your NFLMeta API key automatically.

What pricing is not hiding

The API contract does not change by plan. Protected routes still use the same X-NFLMeta-Key header, and public docs stay public whether you are free or paid.
