The Rinevo Advantage

Build first. Integrate first. See how Rinevo fits your product before your first payment is due.

Most API providers force you to gamble on credit bundles before testing in production. Rinevo treats developers like serious B2B partners: you get full access to live vehicle feeds, 68-point diagnostic sheets, and translated records today, and settle your balance when the billing month wraps up.

Billing Architecture FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Postpaid Billing

What is a postpaid API billing model?
A postpaid API model allows developers and enterprises to integrate and make API calls throughout a billing cycle without paying in advance. Rather than purchasing prepaid credit packs, your consumption is metered, and you receive an itemized invoice at the conclusion of each 30-day billing cycle.
Is Rinevo's postpaid model a free trial?
No. Rinevo is not a free trial or a freemium gimmick. You are an active commercial customer with production-tier access and real SLA rate limits. You simply pay for your subscription and usage in arrears at the end of each billing period rather than upfront.
Do I need to pay or lock funds to get an API key?
No. There is zero upfront payment required to obtain your credentials. You create an account, generate your API key, and begin integrating immediately.
How does Rinevo track my usage throughout the month?
Every API request sent with your x-api-key is timestamped and recorded in our distributed metering engine. You can monitor your live usage, endpoint breakdowns, and current billing cycle progress in real time via your Client Dashboard.
What payment methods can I use to settle my monthly invoice?
When your invoice is generated at the end of the billing period, you can pay via credit/debit card, PayPal, or on-chain cryptocurrency (Bitcoin BTC via BIP-21 or USDT). Settle directly through the automated invoice link or within your billing dashboard.
Can I change my plan or cancel during the billing cycle?
Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time with zero penalty. If you adjust your plan mid-cycle, your final month-end invoice reflects exact prorated usage.
