Developer tools include an embeddable SDK, REST APIs, React Elements, a CLI, agent skills, and events. Integrations are available for React, Angular, and Vue. The free plan costs nothing and includes all four builder types. Paid plans start at $250 a month and include 1 TB bandwidth; additional bandwidth is sold in recurring packs of 500 GB per $50 per month. Enterprise pricing is custom and not listed.
