### Builder — $299/month

Programmatic API tier for bots and integrations — **not** a superset of Pro.

adds deeper models and the full web surface; Builder adds throughput and
alpha/WebSocket overlays.

- LOW-impact signals included
- Programmatic-only — no chat UI bells, no autonomous agents

### Enterprise — Custom

Everything in Pro, plus:

- Unlimited queries / day
- 1,000 requests / minute
- Custom model (Opus / private deployment / on-prem)

- Volume + per-instance contracts available
- Contact: <enterprise@marketintell.ai>

## Add-ons (any tier)

| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| MCP server access | included on every tier |
| Public accuracy widget embed | included |
| Per-signal post-mortem URLs | included |
| GDPR data export | included |
| Self-service account deletion | included |

## What's measured

A "query" = one call to `POST /v1/chat` (REST) or one MCP tool invocation (`chat`, `chat_deep`, `screener`, `portfolio_analyze`, `register`, etc).

Read-only endpoints (`GET /v1/alpha`, `GET /v1/billing/status`, `GET /widgets/*`, `GET /health`, `GET /v1/billing/plans`) **do not count** against the daily query cap. They are still rate-limited per minute.

## Rate-limit response shape

```http
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
X-RateLimit-Limit: 300
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1747000000
Retry-After: 12
Content-Type: application/json

{"error": "rate limit exceeded", "retry_after_ms": 12000, "request_id": "req_..."}
```

The MCP transport has its own bucket (default 30/min/key, env `MCP_RATE_LIMIT_MAX`). MCP responses include `X-RateLimit-Limit-MCP` so an agent can distinguish REST vs MCP throttling on the same key.

## Cost cap (Pro/Enterprise)

Per-key monthly LLM cost cap defaults:

- Free — $3/month (Sonnet 4 economics ≈ profitable at the published Anthropic prices)
- Pro — $50/month (Sonnet 4.6 economics)
- Enterprise — unlimited (`null`)

Override per-key via the admin API. Mode: `COST_TRACKING_V2=enforce` returns `429 {"error":"Monthly LLM cost cap reached"}` on cap; `COST_TRACKING_V2=shadow` (default) records cost but doesn't block.

## Stripe checkout

Pro upgrade: `POST /v1/billing/checkout` returns a Stripe Checkout URL. Webhook handler is signature-verified and idempotent.

## Volume / wholesale

- 10+ Pro seats: 10% off, billed annually.
- 50+ seats: 20% off + dedicated CSM.
- Contact <enterprise@marketintell.ai>.

## Legal + tax

- Stripe Tax can be enabled per-deploy (`STRIPE_TAX_ENABLED=true`); EU VAT-ID collection at checkout when enabled.
- Receipts emailed via Stripe.
- Terms: <https://marketintell.ai/terms>.
