Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: API key and a few lines of code to moderate.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Operation multipliers and overages surprise teams at scale.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: API returns scores; you own enforcement logic.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
