About this template

A usage-based API proposal for a developer platform buyer. It covers current usage and the forecast, included lookups and the overage rate for each plan with a worked example, what the API does, a four-week switch with shadow traffic, support, a similar customer’s results and three monthly plans.

What’s in the API and Usage-Based Software Sales Proposal

11 parts, in the order your client reads them. Every part is editable: keep what fits the job, rewrite the rest and add your own.

  1. Overview

  2. Introduction

    You want address checks your drivers can trust, at a cost you can predict as your volume grows.

  3. Your usage

    Monthly lookups from your provider’s invoices, with your own forecast for next year.

    Covers: December doubles the bill, Retries count as lookups

  4. How usage is billed

    Each plan includes a number of lookups a month. Above that, you pay the overage rate, never a penalty.

  5. What the API does

    Every plan includes all four. The difference is volume, speed and support.

  6. Going live

    Test keys on day one, with 50,000 free lookups and our client libraries.

  7. Who supports you

    Your contact for the plan, your usage and renewals.

  8. Results for a similar client

    A parcel delivery platform, six months after switching.

    Covers: The client, The work, The result

  9. Plans and fees

    Monthly fees with lookups included. We recommend Scale.

  10. Questions

    Calls keep working. Lookups above your allowance are billed at your plan’s overage rate, and we email you at 80% and 100%.

  11. Next steps

    Pick a plan and any extras, then accept on this page.
