Billing

Pricing for API is charged along two dimensions. All details can be found at dune.com/pricing

If your execution fails, then no credits are charged. If you execute a query but never pull the results, you are only charged for the execution.

Dimension	Charge
Executions	10 credits per medium query engine executions 20 credits per large query engine executions
Datapoints (Results)	1 credit per 1,000 datapoints on Free 1 credit per 5,000 datapoints on Plus 1 credit per 25,000 datapoints on Premium
Storage	1MB on Free 15GB on Plus 50GB on Premium
Queries Endpoint	Available on Plus and Premium
Webhooks (Alerts)	1 on Free 5 on Plus 50 on Premium

A datapoint applies to query results after the query is run, and can in most cases be thought of rows * columns with an additional limit of 100 avg bytes per cell in a set of results. This can be expressed as:

$$Credits = \frac{Datapoints}{1000} = \frac{\max(\text{rows} * \text{columns}, \lceil \frac{\text{totalbytes}}{100} \rceil)}{1000}$$

Byte-Based Calculation Details

When calculating datapoints based on total bytes, cells that exceed 100 bytes will “spill over” into additional cells. Here’s how this works:

Example Table:

+-----+-----+-----+
| A1  | B1  | C1  |
+-----+-----+-----+
| A2  | B2  | C2  |
+-----+-----+-----+
| A3  | B3  | C3  |
+-----+-----+-----+

Spillover Calculation: If one cell contains 175 bytes, that cell effectively counts as 2 cells in the datapoint calculation:

• First 100 bytes = 1 cell
• Remaining 75 bytes = 1 additional cell

Example breakdown:

• 8 cells of 100 bytes each = 8 cells
• 1 cell of 175 bytes = 2 cells (100 + 75)
• Total: 10 cells

API Usage Billing

Any API usage billing will be based on what account the API key is associated with. If you use your team API key to call a public query belonging to yourself, the billing will be associated to the team (and vice versa).
