Dash Plans Pricing
Dash's developer APIs are entirely open-source and free to use. The Insight REST and WebSocket API (dashpay/insight-api) is self-hostable with no license fees. Public instances run by Dash Core Group at insight.dash.org are available at no charge with no API key required. The Dash Platform DAPI endpoints are accessed via the decentralized masternode network — no subscription, key, or fee is required for read access. Broadcast transactions and state transitions are subject to standard Dash network fees (paid in DASH to miners and masternodes), not to any API provider.
Dash Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Dash on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 2 plans, covering free tiers, with named plans including Insight REST API (Free / Self-Hosted), Dash Platform DAPI (Free / Decentralized).
