CoinGecko
- The free Demo plan allows 10,000 call credits a month and 100 calls a minute
- Rate limits are a paid feature separate from volume, at 300 calls a minute on Basic and 500 above it
- Credits and rate limits move together by plan, so a burst pattern needs a higher tier than its monthly total implies
- The 20% saving requires annual billing
- Enterprise credits and limits are custom with no published figure
