Pricing

Pricing model

Subscribing to the service is free of charge, the cost depends on the usage (pay-per-use).

Pricing is based on the consumed number of units. Units takes the complexity of the calculation into account. Simple calculations count less units, while calling more complex calculations or if multiple calculation results are returned in a single call is counted on higher unit rate.

If the calculation result is not returned (for example due to erratic structure or calculation failure), the consumed unit is not billed. The API response contains the sum of the units calculated for the call.

curl example

In this example the unit calculation is highlighted. Polar surface area (PSA) and logP are calculated in a batch request, where one out of the three molecules is invalid (smiles 'X').

 curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://api.calculators.cxn.io/rest-v1/calculator/batch/calculate/' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -d '{
  "calculations": {
  "logp": {
      "atomIncrements": false,
      "method": "CHEMAXON"
    },
    "polar-surface-area": {
      "excludePhosphorus": true,
      "excludeSulfur": true,
      "pH": 7.4
    }
  },
  "inputFormat": "smiles",
  "structures": [
    "C",
    "CC",
    "X"
  ]
}'

The response contains the calculated values, the error related to the invalid structure and the report related to the actually consumed units.

The per unit price decreases with the number of units summarized for a year, in 3 tiers.

Tier	USD / unit
1) Up to 100k unit/yr	0.01
2) Between 100k unit/yr and 1M unit/yr	0.005
3) Above 1M unit/yr	0.001

Current consumption status

Check from your browser

Enter your API key on the subscription page.

Check it programatically

Send a POST request to https://marketplace.calculators.cxn.io/check, having apikey as the payload in the body of the request.

curl example

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://marketplace.calculators.cxn.io/check' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"apikey": "YOUR_API_KEY"}'

The response contains the status, consumed units calculated from the actual subscription start date.
