Our plugins works on a pay as you go basis. Each call made to the API is equal to one credit.
You simple buy as many credits as you need.
Depending on how much you spend the price will vary. For example if you buy 25USD in credits each call to the API will be as low as $0.002. Making it easier for you, 10,000 calls per month will cost you just $20.
An API call is a request from your server made to our server. You can think this like a page view. So every time a user visits a page of your website that it's using geolocation functionality a request is made to our server along the user IP. Then we return the user geographical info.
No at all, and that's the main difference between us and our competitors. Just pages where you are using geotargeting will need to consume an API call.
As an addition Our plugins have a cache mode available to let you save queries and resources. So once a user visits the site we cache their location info into the session and the consequent page views don't need to perform calls to the API. You can read more about it here.
Also bots and crawlers are excluded and no credits are charged.
Yes, as long as you have an active GeotWP Subscription you will be able to use Maxmind or Ip2Location databases.
