Account and Billing Questions
A quick reference for trials, billing, plan selection, and account management before you start building with the Weatherbit API.
What plan should I choose?
Start with the smallest plan that includes the datasets, request volume, and support level your application needs. The Business trial is a good way to test paid API features before choosing a long-term plan.
Compare plansWhat payment methods do you accept?
Monthly subscriptions can be paid by credit or debit card. Annual subscriptions support credit/debit card or bank transfer, and additional regional methods such as SEPA direct debit may be available in the dashboard.
Read help articleIf I don't actively use the API, will I still be billed?
Yes. API plans are subscription-based and renew monthly or annually until changed or canceled. If your needs change, you can adjust or cancel your subscription from the account dashboard before the next renewal period.
View billing termsCan I store API data locally?
Local storage is allowed with an active paid API subscription, including storage with cloud providers. If the subscription ends, stored API data must be deleted unless you purchased data through a custom historical data order with separate ownership rights.
Read help articleCan I cancel after the first month?
Subscriptions do not require a long-term commitment. You can cancel from the account dashboard, subject to the billing terms that apply to your plan.
Read help articleHow do I add company information to invoices?
Log in and open the Billing / Manage Subscription area to add company details. Updated company information appears on future invoices.
Read help articleDo you offer non-profit discounts?
Discounts are available for US certified 501(c) non-profit organizations. Contact support with the relevant documentation to request review.
