Every plan reaches all 664,471 products in all 19 countries, each with the register it came from and the date it was checked. A free account is 10 lookups in total and a one-time 5¢ AI credit, no card — enough to see whether it answers your questions before you pay.

Plans

Pay for how often you look things up, not for seats.

Each plan is a monthly number of lookups and AI answers on one account. When it is spent it stops — nothing is billed by usage.

Enterprise

Quoted, not listed

For an organisation that needs a contract rather than a card. Everything, uncapped, with a contract. We have not published a price because we have not settled one — tell us the shape and we will quote it.

  • Everything in Growth
  • No lookup quota and no daily cap
  • A negotiated agreement in place of the standard Terms

USD is the list currency. Stripe settles EUR and CHF off the same Price at the live rate, so the figure your card is charged will not match the dollar figure to the cent.

Drug Database is an informational reference built from the official registers — not a medical device. Verify against the source of record before any clinical decision.

Compare plans

Every plan, side by side.

The same catalogue on every plan. What changes is how much you can open each month, and three things that unlock higher up: change webhooks, interaction mechanism and management, and bringing your own licence.

How it is counted

One counter. No surprise invoice.

Opening a medicine’s full profile or a price comparison across markets counts as one lookup. Searching, the change feed and free interaction severity do not.

  • Console, API and MCP share one monthly counter per account
  • AI answers have their own allowance; paid plans can add 90 for $15 or 360 for $60
  • When it is spent, it stops until the month rolls over or you upgrade — nothing is billed by usage

One counter per account

Free: 10 lookups in total

One cell per lookup. When the month is spent the console says so and the API answers 429 until it resets — never an overage bill.

How much does Drug Database cost?
A free account is 10 lookups in total and a one-time 5¢ AI credit, with no card. Pro is $29/month for 1,500 lookups and 50 AI answers a month; Starter is $99/month and Growth $490/month. Enterprise is quoted — we have not published a price because we have not settled one. Prices are in USD.
What counts as a lookup?
Opening a medicine’s full profile or a price comparison across markets counts as one; so does an interaction check that returns mechanism and management on Growth. Searching, browsing the change feed and free interaction severity do not. When the month’s lookups are spent the console says so and stops until the month rolls over or you upgrade — there is no surprise invoice, because nothing is billed by usage.
What is an AI answer, and what if I run out?
One question to the assistant, which answers from the catalogue and shows its sources. An unusually long answer — one that pulls a lot of records into context — can count as more than one. When the month’s answers are spent the assistant says so instead of answering; it never bills you for more. On a paid plan you can add 90 for $15 or 360 for $60; packs do not expire.
Can I check interactions on the free plan?
Yes, in part. Every plan, Free included, can screen a medication list and see the severity of each known pair from DDInter 2.0 — unlimited, and it never uses a lookup. That data is licensed CC BY-NC 4.0, so it is for non-commercial use and is shown with its attribution. Mechanism and what to do for each pair come from a commercially licensed source and start at Growth; on other plans those rows show as locked.
Why is the free tier so small?
Because it is for deciding, not for running. 10 lookups in total and a one-time 5¢ AI credit are enough to look up the medicines you care about and ask the assistant a real question; neither resets — they are a one-time allowance with no trial clock. If you use it every week, Pro at $29 is the plan built for you.
Is the drug API priced separately?
No. The console, the REST and GraphQL API and the MCP server share one counter per account, so a lookup in the console and an API request are the same unit on the same plan. All your API keys draw on it together.
Is this a clinical decision tool?
No. It is an informational reference: it tells you what the official registers publish, with the source and the date, and it is not a medical device. Check the source of record before any clinical decision.
Do you have an SLA?
No. Our Terms provide the service “as is” and do not warrant uninterrupted availability, and we are not going to print a percentage on a pricing page that our own contract contradicts. What we do publish is per-source ingestion health on the status page, updated continuously — that is a measurement, not a promise. An availability commitment is something an Enterprise agreement can carry; ask.
Are you SOC 2 certified?
Not yet. A SOC 2 Type 1 audit is in progress and we will say so the day it completes and not before. The current controls, the subprocessors and the data residency are written up on the security page.
Do I need a DPA?
For looking medicines up, no — the catalogue touches no patient data. Only /v1/prescriptions/validate accepts patient context, and only in bucketed form (age band, eGFR band, pregnancy), so a data processing agreement is relevant only if you use that one endpoint.
Can I bring a catalogue I already licence?
On Growth and above. BYOL passes your own credentials through to your own licensed source per-tenant — we never store its content and never resell it. That is how you keep a proprietary national catalogue alongside the public one without us needing a licence we do not have.

Drug API pricing

The same plans, over the API and MCP.

A lookup and an API request are the same counter. Every call to a /v1/* endpoint bumps one counter per account — all your keys and your console lookups share it — before it is served.

  • A GraphQL operation counts as one; MCP tool calls use the same key and bucket
  • Quota or daily cap spent: a 429 with the date it resets. Enterprise keys skip the counter
  • AI answers over /v1/chat draw on the same allowance as the console assistant
Scopes on the keyScopes the plan grantsinteractions:writenot on Freedrugs:readusablenot grantedto the key
A key can be scoped down, never up: the Free plan grants drugs:read, so a Free key with interactions:write written on it still cannot check an interaction.
