# Pricing
## How are API calls billed?
API usage is billed by the amount of images processed.
Images are bought through a monthly subscription and consumed on each successful API call.
Pricing details are [available here](https://www.photoroom.com/api/pricing).
{% hint style="info" %}
Calls that result in an error will **not** consume an image.
{% endhint %}
You can track how many images you have left in your [API dashboard](https://app.photoroom.com/api-dashboard):
{% hint style="warning" %}
Please keep in mind that 1 call to the [Image Editing API](/image-editing-api-plus-plan/quickstart-guide.md) is worth 5 calls to the [Remove Background API](/remove-background-api-basic-plan/quickstart-guide.md).
This means that:
* if you are on the Basic plan, a call to the [Image Editing API](/image-editing-api-plus-plan/quickstart-guide.md) will consume 5 images
* if you are on the Plus plan, a call to the [Remove Background API](/remove-background-api-basic-plan/quickstart-guide.md) will consume 0.2 image
{% endhint %}
The API dashboard also contains a history of your recent credit consumption, accessible by clicking on the button *View usage details:*
If you want to monitor your credit balance with your own tools, you can do it [through this endpoint](/getting-started/api-reference-openapi.md#get-v2-account).
{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that API subscriptions are independent of the Pro subscription that gives access to the Photoroom app on iOS, Android, and the web.
{% endhint %}
## Can I get free API calls?
For testing and prototyping, you can use Sandbox mode on both the [Image Editing API](/image-editing-api-plus-plan/sandbox-mode.md) and the [Remove Background API](/remove-background-api-basic-plan/sandbox-mode.md), which allows you to make free API calls (but will produce a result with a watermark).
If you're in the process of integrating the Photoroom API into your codebase and need additional free credits to test your integration, please [join our online API community](https://photoroom.discourse.group/) and ask our engineers.
## Do you offer Enterprise pricing?
Yes, for large volumes (from 200K images/year) we do offer Enterprise pricing.
For more details, please [contact our sales team](https://www.photoroom.com/contact-sales?utm_source=apidoc\&utm_medium=getting-started-pricing).

## How can I check my API usage?
You can check your API usage by calling the endpoint:
```http
GET https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/account
```
This endpoint works for both the [Remove Background API](/remove-background-api-basic-plan/quickstart-guide.md) and the [Image Editing API](/image-editing-api-plus-plan/quickstart-guide.md).
Here's an example of a call to this endpoint:
```shell
curl --location 'https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/account' \
--header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
```
And here's an example of the response you'll receive:
```json
{
"images": {
"available": 83,
"subscription": 100
},
"plan": "basic"
}
```
{% hint style="info" %}
You can use this endpoint to setup an automated monitoring of your API usage.
