Ingredient Analysis Plans & Subscriptions

How to pick a tier for the Ingredients API and Ingredient Analysis portal tool, what each tier includes, and how the shared monthly request budget works.

Ingredient Analysis Plans & Subscriptions

One subscription unlocks both the Ingredients API and the portal's ingredient-list lookup tool - pick a tier, subscribe once, use either one.

Picking a tier

From the Plans page (the "Ingredients API" tab), pick one of four monthly tiers: Free, Starter, Pro, or Enterprise. Each tier sets a monthly request limit and which extra data shows up in results - see "What each tier includes" below. This is a separate plan from your Products API subscription (if you have one) - neither includes the other.

One request budget, two ways to use it

The Ingredients API (GET /api/v1/ingredient_analysis) and the portal's ingredient-list lookup tool both draw from the same monthly request pool. Running one analysis in the portal counts the same as one API call - there's no separate quota to track for each, and no benefit to using one over the other beyond which fits your workflow.

What each tier includes

  • Free - ingredient match list and match summary only. No CosIng regulatory flags, colorant data, similar products, or brand insights. Meant for evaluation, not production use.
  • Starter - adds full match details: CAS numbers, EU allergen flags, regulatory restrictions, and colorant (CI code) lookups.
  • Pro - everything in Starter, plus similar-product matching (top 10 results) and brand-level insights.
  • Enterprise - everything in Pro, with similar-product matching extended to the top 50 results and the highest monthly request limit.

Billing

Free activates immediately - no payment method needed, since there's nothing to bill. Starter, Pro, and Enterprise bill monthly via PayPal and renew automatically, the same as a Reviews subscription. Currently on Free and want more request volume or the extra data fields? Subscribing to a paid tier from the Plans page switches you over directly - no need to cancel anything first.
