Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Community tier always be free?

Yes. Access to signals, mappings, and schemas will always be free. This is core to our mission of providing open infrastructure for compliance interoperability.

What happens if I exceed rate limits?

Requests exceeding rate limits will receive a 429 status code. You can wait for the rate limit window to reset, or upgrade to a higher tier for increased limits.

Can I switch plans at any time?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. When upgrading, you'll get immediate access to new features. When downgrading, changes take effect at the end of your billing cycle.

Do you offer annual billing discounts?

Yes. Annual billing saves 20% compared to monthly. Contact us for Teams and Enterprise annual pricing.

Can I use CSE data in commercial products?

Yes. CSE data is licensed under Apache 2.0. You can use signals, mappings, and schemas in commercial products. Attribution is appreciated but not required.

What's the difference between signals and findings?

Signals are canonical definitions of compliance-relevant conditions (e.g., “Unencrypted PHI Storage”). Findings are instances where a signal is observed in a specific context. The Community tier provides signal definitions; paid tiers add findings storage and management.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and can accommodate invoicing for Teams and Enterprise plans.
