agenticstudio@gmail.comHow much does BrandsAPI cost?
As of October 2026, Growth is $79 a month ($61 a month billed yearly) for up to 2,500 fetches, and the free plan is 100 fetches, once. Growth stops at 2,500, so 10,000 fetches a month needs its Custom plan, which has no published price. At Growth's rate, $31.60 per 1,000, 10,000 fetches would be $316.
Is Brand Identity API data better than BrandsAPI's?
We have not compared the two datasets, so we do not claim it. Run your own domains through both: the Brand Identity API free plan gives you 50 lookups to test with.
Can I switch without rewriting my code?
Brand Identity API uses Brandfetch's field names. If your code expects another shape, map the fields once using the Brand API reference.
