Purchasing the API

This guide walks you through the process of purchasing a paid Whitepages Pro API subscription. Paid plans offer higher query limits and are suitable for production use.

Step 1: Visit the Pricing Page

Go to whitepages.com/pro-api/pricing/plans to view paid plans.

The page shows three primary pricing cards along the top — Starter, Growth, and Scale — covering the most common monthly query volumes. Below them, an Additional Plans section lists higher standard tiers (Advanced and Enterprise) plus a Higher-Volume Plans row that routes to sales for custom pricing above the standard ceiling.

Step 2: Select Your Plan

Monthly vs Annual Billing

Use the Monthly / Annual toggle at the top of the page to switch billing cadence. Annual plans are 15% cheaper than the equivalent monthly plan.

Pick a Tier

Pick one of the three primary cards (Starter / Growth / Scale) and click Get Pro Access, or open the Additional Plans section below and click the price button next to a higher tier (Advanced / Enterprise) to proceed to checkout.

Step 3: Complete the Checkout Form

After clicking "Get Pro Access", you'll be taken to the secure checkout page.
