# Sourcehut GraphQL FinOps

## Cost Model

Sourcehut does not charge separately for API usage. GraphQL API access is
included in the base subscription at no additional cost. There are no per-request
fees, bandwidth charges, or API call tiers.

## Subscription Costs

| Tier                 | Monthly (EUR) | Monthly (USD) | Annual (EUR) | Annual (USD) |
|----------------------|--------------|--------------|-------------|-------------|
| Amateur Hackers      | €4           | $4           | ~€48        | ~$48        |
| Typical Hackers      | €8           | $8           | ~€96        | ~$96        |
| Professional Hackers | €12          | $12          | ~€144       | ~$144       |

Taxes are calculated at checkout. Annual billing is not explicitly advertised;
monthly pricing is the standard model.

## Cost Optimization Notes

- All subscription tiers provide identical GraphQL API access — choose the tier
  that fits your budget, not your usage level.
- No overage fees: GraphQL queries that exceed the complexity cap (200) or
  processing time limit (3 seconds) are rejected, not billed at a higher rate.
- Contributors who are not hosting projects can use Sourcehut free of charge.
- Financial aid is available for users who cannot afford a subscription.
- For organizations with many developers, each team member needs their own
  subscription; there is no organizational bulk pricing.

## Services Requiring Payment

A paid subscription is required to use builds.sr.ht and chat.sr.ht. All other
services (git.sr.ht, hg.sr.ht, todo.sr.ht, lists.sr.ht, etc.) are accessible
with a free account during the public alpha phase, though a subscription is
encouraged.
