Start free, prove the integration, then move into a paid API pilot with the right limits, support, and production review for your product.
For developers validating AfroTools API fit with a verified dashboard key. Free includes 100 requests/day and 3,000/month.
For first paid pilots, proof-of-value builds, and lower-volume customer integrations.
For higher-volume payroll, fintech, HR, accounting, and media integrations.
For custom data scope, negotiated limits, procurement, and dedicated implementation terms.
AfroTools API is a B2B data product for teams that need African tax, VAT, FX, fuel, central-bank, and country data inside their own software. The free tier reduces friction. Paid tiers add support, data review, data updates, and integration work.
Use the free tier for technical validation. Choose Growth for one product workflow, Pro when volume or launch support matters, and Enterprise/custom when procurement or custom data scope is required.
Developer wants to test PAYE, VAT, FX, fuel, rates, or countries before a meeting. Use sandbox plus Free API.
Payroll, fintech, accounting, HR, or media team wants one or two workflows in a real product. Use API Growth or API Pro.
Choose this when custom data scope, procurement paperwork, dedicated support, or custom rate limits are required.

Free dashboard keys can call production endpoints where the route supports authenticated access. Sandbox keys return deterministic examples and should not be used for production decisions.
Higher-volume API plans start with a reviewed activation step so data scope, endpoint fit, volume, support expectations, and commercial terms are confirmed before production use.
Growth and Pro are public pilot prices for sales conversations. Enterprise/custom is negotiated based on volume, data scope, support, and procurement requirements.
Start with PAYE, VAT, FX, fuel, central-bank rates, and country metadata. Check the docs and API status before proposing production use.
Use Free API for developer confidence, Growth for the first commercial workflow, Pro for high-volume launches, and Enterprise/custom for procurement-backed data subscriptions.
