- url https://exchange-rateapi.com/pricing
- free tier: The pricing page of exchange-rateapi.com redirects to the AllRatesToday pricing page, so the Free plan is the AllRatesToday Free plan: 1 API key, 10 requests a minute, and a lifetime request total whose size is not published. | unit: requests | metered on: request-count | read on: 2026-11-02 | source: [1] | note: The home page and the sign-up page of exchange-rateapi.com carry AllRatesToday content and AllRatesToday links. The terms page on exchange-rateapi.com names its own service, Exchange Rate API. See data-apis/allratestoday for the plan numbers.
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable
- egress: not metered in bytes; the request total bounds what a free key can pull | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: The sign-up page is the AllRatesToday page: email and password, or Google or GitHub; no card.
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): the AllRatesToday lifetime total of Free requests; its size is not published [1]
  - request-rate: 10 requests a minute on the Free plan (AllRatesToday pricing page) [1]
- binding note: The lifetime total never resets, so it ends the key before the per-minute rate matters.
- interface detail: the same REST API as AllRatesToday, at allratestoday.com/api/v1/rates with a Bearer key
- endpoint: https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/rates
- tooling: any HTTP client; the same SDKs as AllRatesToday
- composes with: Use the AllRatesToday record data-apis/allratestoday for limits and data-apis/allratestoday-open for the keyless lane; this domain adds no separate quota.
- reliability: The terms on this domain say a call past the plan rate limit answers HTTP 429 and that persistent overuse may lead to suspension.
- notes: Free requests: the AllRatesToday lifetime total, size not published. Rate limit: 10 requests a minute. Bulk path: none on the free key; see data-apis/allratestoday-open. This record and data-apis/allratestoday describe one offer.
- evidence note: The pricing and sign-up pages read here are identical to the AllRatesToday pages, and a fetch of the pricing URL showed a redirect to allratestoday.com. No key was created.
- extras:
  - bulk_path: none on the free key; the keyless AllRatesToday GitHub dataset is the bulk route
  - free_requests: AllRatesToday lifetime total, size not published
