Upgrade any time — your existing rules keep working.

Full description

Starter is the first step out of Free: 250,000 checks a day, 25 rules, 10 namespaces, and the capabilities Free holds back — per-identifier overrides and multi-rule evaluation. It is priced for production apps with moderate traffic that need a real support channel.

Who Starter is for

A product in production with real users and real abuse surface.
Teams that need per-customer limits (overrides) without forking rules.
Anyone who has outgrown Free's 10,000 checks/day but does not need a million.

What changes from Free

Checks/day: 250,000 (25x Free)
Rate-limit rules: 25
Namespaces: 10
Overrides per rule: 10 — give paying customers their own ceilings
Quotas: 5 — attach monthly budgets to your namespaces
Blocklist entries: 100
Multi-rule evaluation: included — burst rule + budget rule in one call
Projects per workspace: 3
Team seats: 3
Webhook destinations: 5
Audit log retention: 30 days
Support: 24h email

What stays the same

All four algorithms, the TypeScript SDK, per-identifier analytics, fail-open behavior, and flat-rate billing. Exceeding a cap still rejects with PLAN_LIMIT — nothing is ever invoiced retroactively.

The math

250,000 checks/day is roughly 7.5M checks a month. For comparison, Unkey's $25/mo tier covers 250K requests per month — Brume Starter covers that volume per day at $19. If you are comparing line items, compare volume per dollar.

Upgrading and downgrading

Upgrade from Free at any time — caps lift immediately and your rules keep working. Downgrade back to Free at the next billing period if your traffic shrinks; nothing is deleted.
