Prices above mirror `convex/config/productCatalog.ts` (the source of truth behind `/api/product-catalog`); a drift guard test keeps this page honest.

## What each plan includes

* **Free** — 56 map layers, 500+ curated feeds, country briefs, hotspots, instability scores, chokepoints, cascade analysis, breaking alerts, and watchlists. Dashboard refresh cadence is typically 5–15 minutes.
* **Pro** — everything in Free, plus WM Analyst chat across 30+ live services with citations, Scenario Engine, Route Explorer, personal AI digest (daily / twice-daily / weekly via Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, webhook), custom widget builder, and MCP access (40 tools under one key).
* **API Starter** — programmatic access: REST API with structured JSON and cache headers, official SDKs (npm, PyPI, RubyGems, Go), self-serve license / API keys (the `wm_` key the desktop app asks for — see [API keys](/docs/api-keys)), real-time data streams, and webhook notifications (5 rules on Starter). Personal use only — no commercial use.
* **API Business** — the high-volume API tier for teams: everything in API Starter with 300 requests/minute and 10,000 requests/day, 5 Pro licenses included (all under the same company email), commercial use permitted, and priority support. Starter customers upgrade from the billing portal (prorated immediately).
* **Enterprise** — everything in Pro and API, plus team workspaces, SSO/MFA/RBAC, dedicated support, white-label and embeddable panels, SIEM connectors, bulk export, and cloud / dedicated-tenant / on-premises / air-gapped deployment.

## Limits & overage

Rate limits are hard limits by default: exceeding a plan quota returns HTTP `429` with `Retry-After` and `X-RateLimit-*` headers. Usage above quota is rejected — never silently charged. Per-endpoint budgets: [Rate Limits](/docs/usage-rate-limits).

Need a higher limit? Upgrade at [worldmonitor.app/pro](https://worldmonitor.app/pro) or contact [enterprise@worldmonitor.app](mailto:enterprise@worldmonitor.app).

## Buying and managing a subscription

Checkout runs on [Dodo Payments](https://dodopayments.com); entitlements live in Convex. Subscribe from [worldmonitor.app/pro](https://worldmonitor.app/pro); manage billing (invoices, cancel, renew) via the customer portal on the same page. Endpoint details: [Commerce Endpoints](/docs/api-commerce).
