APlicious vs single-purpose APIs — 10 namespaces, one key, one flat price

Single-purpose APIs are great at one thing but force you to manage multiple keys, invoices, and rate limits. APlicious covers 10 production-grade namespaces in one flat subscription.

Why developers choose APlicious

10 namespaces for the price of one.

Subscribing to single-purpose providers for finance, legal, jobs, property, wellness, tools, recipes, sports, education, and food data costs $90–$230/month. APlicious Growth covers all 10 for $49.

Own your data layer.

Recipes, cricket match data, USDA food nutrients, and university data are in our own database — not proxied from a third party. No upstream outages, no licensing risk, no price hikes from a provider we don't control.

One schema to learn across everything.

Every APlicious response follows the same envelope: { success, data, meta }. Once you know the pattern, you know all 10 namespaces. No per-provider schema hunting.

Simpler for teams.

New developers joining your team learn one auth pattern, one rate limit, one error format. Not eight. Key rotation, quota monitoring, and support all happen in one dashboard.

FAQ

What if I need a namespace APlicious doesn't have?

Use APlicious for the 10 namespaces we cover and one specialised provider for the rest. You still cut your key count and invoices significantly. Vote for new namespaces on the roadmap page.

Is the data quality comparable to specialist providers?

For finance, we use Yahoo Finance v8/chart — the same data source most finance apps use. Legal and property data is hand-curated from official government sources. Cricket data is Cricsheet (150K+ matches). Food nutrition is USDA FoodData Central.

Does the Free tier include all 10 namespaces?

Yes. All 10 namespaces are available on the Free tier within the 250 calls/month quota. No namespace is locked behind a paid plan.

Do you offer annual billing?

Yes — annual billing gives you 2 months free (17% off). Contact us for annual invoices.
