How to Buy API Credits or Start a Subscription on WhoisFreaks

Now that you’ve signed up and received your API key, the next step is unlocking more access. Whether you want to top up with lifetime credits or subscribe for ongoing use, this guide walks you through the process.

Step 1: Sign In to the Billing Dashboard

Head over to billing.whoisfreaks.com and log in with your account credentials.
Once you’re in, you’ll land on the main Dashboard. If you don’t have an account, create one first by following our getting started guide. Then continue with the steps below.

Step 2: Open the Billing & Subscription Section

Look at the menu on the left-hand side. Click “Billing & Subscription.”
You’ll be taken to a page that shows all available API pricing plans.

Step 3: Choose Between Credits or Subscriptions

This page is divided into three sections:

• Monthly Subscription – billed monthly, auto-renews
• Yearly Subscription – billed once per year, better value (17% off)
• API Credits – one-time purchase, lasts forever

Pick the plan that fits your usage:

• Want consistent, ongoing access? Go with Monthly or Yearly Subscription.

• Just need a batch of requests for a specific task? Choose API Credits.

Step 4: Buy Your Plan

Click the “Buy” button under the plan you want.

You’ll be asked to choose a payment processor.
Currently, Paddle is the available option.

You’ll be taken to a secure Paddle checkout page.

Enter your card details and complete the purchase.
Once payment is confirmed, you’ll be automatically redirected back to the dashboard.

Step 5: Confirm Your Purchase

Back in the dashboard, scroll down to the lower section.
You’ll see your active product - whether it’s:

• A Subscription (Monthly or Yearly), or
• A Credits Package (with the number of credits listed)

Your account is now active with credits or a subscription, and you’re ready to start making API

You’re All Set

Now that you’ve got credits or an active subscription, you can start making requests to the WhoisFreaks API at full capacity.
