This free tier is a capped but genuinely usable starter offer: 1,000 API calls per month with SSL and basic access, but slower 24-hour updates and only USD as the base currency. Compared with the cheapest paid Starter plan at $9.99/month for 15K calls and hourly updates, the free plan delivers roughly 7% of the call volume and fewer pro features, so it is worth about $1.50/month. A credit card is not required, and the plan is free forever as long as the monthly cap is respected.

What's included in the free tier

  • 1000 API calls per month.
  • 24-hour exchange rate updates.
  • USD as the base currency.
  • Limited support.
  • SSL encryption.
