Pricing philosophy

Evidence Credits are prepaid AUD.

Hoist uses Evidence Credits so pricing stays transparent. Credits are a prepaid usage balance for official evidence, not an arbitrary platform currency.

1 = A$1 1 Evidence Credit equals A$1 AUD. Credits are consumed only when official paid evidence is retrieved.

Connect for freeMCP, REST API, CLI and documentation are available without consuming credits.

Public data is freePublic datasets such as ABN, DFAT sanctions and ACNC do not consume Evidence Credits, subject to fair use.

Official evidence costs creditsPaid registry searches, certificates and source-backed artefacts consume credits at the stated rate.
