Curator's notes

Unkey brings API deployment, gateways, and observability into one platform, unifying fragmented API infrastructure with a single control plane for access and traffic.

Visitors ask

How does usage-based billing work with included credits?
The pricing page mentions that usage-based billing is available on every plan and that all plans include monthly usage credits that offset charges. Starter includes $5/mo credits, Pro includes $25/mo credits, and Business includes $50/mo credits.
Can I migrate existing API keys from another provider?
The pricing FAQ page lists this as a question but does not provide an answer in the text provided.
Do you offer SOC 2 compliance?
Yes, Unkey is SOC 2 Type II Certified, as stated on multiple pages.
What makes Unkey different from traditional API management platforms?
Unkey's goal is to build an API management platform that does not require the burden or cost of traditional platforms like Kong or Azure APM, allowing developers to deploy and protect APIs on the edge in under 5 minutes with a global REST API.
How is compute metered?
Compute is metered based on actual usage of CPU and memory per running instance, not the configured ceiling. vCPU and memory are billed on actual usage, with rates of $0.000006944 per vCPU/sec and $0.000003472 per Memory/GB/sec.
