Billing

The text moderation 2.0 service supports pay-as-you-go.

Pay-as-you-go

After you activate the text moderation 2.0 service, the default billing method is pay-as-you-go. You are billed daily based on actual usage. No charges apply if you do not use the service.

Moderation type	Service	Unit price
Standard text moderation (text_standard)	Multilingual detection for international business: text_multilingual_pro_global	USD 0.3 per 1,000 API calls
Advanced text moderation (text_advanced)	Text translation feature	USD 0.6 per 1,000 API calls Note After the text translation feature is enabled, each request is billed once per 500 characters.

Resource plan offset

For large or consistent moderation needs, consider purchasing a resource plan. Larger plans offer greater discounts, and multiple plans can be stacked. For more information, see Purchase a resource plan for Content Moderation 2.0.

This resource plan offsets usage for Content Moderation 2.0 and is not compatible with Content Moderation 1.0 usage plans. The following table describes the offset factors.

Moderation type	Service	Offset factor
Basic text moderation (text_standard)	Multilingual detection for international business (pro): text_multilingual_pro_global	The offset factor is 1. Each successful API call deducts 1 API call from your resource plan's usage quota. Note For example, if your resource plan has a usage quota of 10 API calls, one successful API call deducts 1 API call from the plan, leaving a balance of 9 API calls.
Advanced text moderation (text_advanced)	Text translation feature	The offset factor is 2. Each successful API call deducts 2 API calls from your resource plan's usage quota. Note For example, if your resource plan has a usage quota of 10 API calls, one successful API call deducts 2 API calls from the plan, leaving a balance of 8 API calls.
