Basis Theory pricing

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers

The full Basis Theory feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

People bring Basis Theory in for a payments company that wants card on file without bringing its own infrastructure into pci scope and paying for the assessment that follows, a merchant locked into a processor by that processor vault that wants to hold its own tokens and route to more than one acquirer, a fintech collecting bank account and identity data that needs it isolated from its application database before an enterprise security review, a team that needs to send stored card data to a third party for a one-off integration without that data traversing its own servers. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Basis Theory are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in APIs

Too few apis tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Basis Theory badges page.

Is the Enterprise plan on Basis Theory worth it?

That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is additional compliance options for pii and phi, responses for 95 percent of pci saq d, unlimited monthly interactions per token, custom log retention and payload size. It costs On request against $995/month for Starter. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

The record lists 8 features across 1 area: other. In practice it is brought in for a payments company that wants card on file without bringing its own infrastructure into pci scope and paying for the assessment that follows, a merchant locked into a processor by that processor vault that wants to hold its own tokens and route to more than one acquirer, a fintech collecting bank account and identity data that needs it isolated from its application database before an enterprise security review.

Does Basis Theory charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Basis Theory prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
