Lithic plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lithic | On request | 3 | Entry tier |
What the product covers
The full Lithic 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.
Other
- Direct network connections
- Processor Client mode
- Lithic Program Management
- Card lifecycle APIs
- Sandbox environment
- Real-time authorization controls
People bring Lithic in for a fintech wanting direct visa or mastercard network access rather than routing through a third-party processor, a company that already holds its own issuing licence and wants api access without full programme management, a neobank or expense platform wanting lithic to manage bank and network relationships end to end, a product team prototyping a card programme in sandbox before committing to a launch. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Lithic 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 Lithic badges page.
Before you pay for Lithic
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Lithic against the tools that do have one before committing.
Lithic runs on web, api, and is published by Lithic of San Francisco, California, United States. The full record is on the Lithic review, and the rest of the category is under best apis tools.

- The closest apis tools in this directory are Mambu, Fintech Farm, Flybits, Neonomics. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Lithic covering price, platforms and features.
