# Pricing

> Learn how pricing works for W3API services and plans.

> Blockchain requests measure in *API Credits*.

We charge per method used in request. Various methods have different API credit values per request. An API credit value calculates based on a method's usage intensity and multiple factors that include using the computational, memory, storage, and network resources.
