Fee Structure

Pricing Models
- Per-request: Fixed price per API call
- Metered: Price based on usage (tokens, bytes, compute)
- Session: One payment for time-limited access
- Tiered: Different prices for different features
No Protocol Fees
Vanta SDK takes no cut—100% of payments go to the service provider. This is a public good.
