The hosted ForeverBetter Longevity API gives you managed authentication, private storage, worker capacity, wearable connections, billing, and support. Every plan uses the same API and MCP contract. | Plan | Price | Best for | What is included | | ---------- | ------------: | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Free | \$0 | Evaluation and personal experimentation | API key, MCP/OpenAPI access, 25 uploads and analyses per month, one queued WGS job | | Standard | \$9.99/month | One person and their own agent | 250 uploads and analyses, 100 wearable syncs, five queued WGS jobs, managed cloud storage and workers | | Builder | \$24.99/month | Commercial agents, pilots, and small apps | 1,000 uploads, 750 analyses, 300 wearable syncs, 15 WGS jobs, webhooks and production app use | | Growth | \$49/month | Production agent products with recurring syncs | 5,000 uploads, 3,000 analyses, 1,500 wearable syncs, 50 WGS jobs, multi-workspace automation | | Enterprise | Custom | Regulated or high-volume deployments | Custom quotas, dedicated environments/workers, retention and support options | The live contract is also available from `GET /pricing`; use it when building a pricing UI so limits remain current. ## Included features * Biomarker, wearable, behavioral, and genetics ingestion * WHOOP and Oura connection flows; Android Health Connect through the companion app * Source-backed analyses, trends, action plans, dashboard JSON, and webhooks * MCP, OpenAPI, scoped API keys, and agent discovery * Private direct-to-storage VCF, VCF.GZ, SNP-array, and 23andMe uploads with queued genetics analysis * Export and deletion controls for your workspace Full dbSNP WGS annotation is a separate advanced capability. The hosted Fly deployment provisions the official NCBI GRCh37 reference on an encrypted WGS volume. It requires an active paid Stripe subscription, a valid payment method, and a plan with a non-zero `full_dbsnp_jobs` quota. Free and Standard remain compact-only; Builder, Growth, and Enterprise are the intended hosted tiers for full dbSNP capacity. Self-hosted deployments are not subject to ForeverBetter billing. Builder and above permit an app, platform, or service that serves other users. Standard is for one person's own data and their own agent. ## Billing From the dashboard, choose a hosted plan when the workspace is ready to continue. Stripe processes payment; ForeverBetter receives only verified subscription events. Selecting a plan does not start billing. Every cloud workspace gets its first **100 protected hosted API requests free**—enough to connect data, run an analysis, and test a small agent workflow. Checkout is only prompted when that allowance is exhausted. It requires a payment method up front (card or an eligible accelerated payment method) and begins the selected monthly subscription immediately. A cancelled plan does not reset the introductory allowance. Use **Manage billing** in the dashboard to update payment details, switch a plan, download invoices, or cancel. For integrations, the authenticated routes are: * `GET /billing/subscription` * `POST /billing/checkout` with `{"tier":"standard","activation_source":"request_limit"}` * `POST /billing/portal` ### Internal billing administrators Operators can grant a narrowly scoped hosted `billing_admin` entitlement with the deployment secrets `HEALTH_API_BILLING_ADMIN_EMAILS` and/or `HEALTH_API_BILLING_ADMIN_USER_IDS` (comma- or whitespace-separated). This entitlement bypasses Stripe checkout, the introductory request allowance, and paid-tier/full dbSNP eligibility checks for the matching account. It does not grant `health:admin`, cross-user data access, or additional data permissions; normal endpoint, organization, storage, and worker limits still apply. Keep these values in Fly secrets, not source control, and revoke them with `fly secrets unset` when access is no longer needed. The subscription status response exposes `billing_admin: true` and the effective `enterprise` tier for an entitled account. A billing administrator still needs the dbSNP reference provisioned on the deployment before using `annotation_depth: "full_dbsnp"`. ## FAQ ### Do I have to pay to self-host? No. **Self-hosting is always an option.** The ForeverBetter Longevity API is open source; run the API, workers, Postgres, object storage, and your data on your own infrastructure. A hosted plan only pays for ForeverBetter-managed cloud operations and support—it does not gate the self-hosted software or MCP server. See [Self-hosting](/self-hosting). ### What happens if I cancel? Stripe manages cancellation in its hosted billing portal. A canceled or delinquent hosted subscription falls back to Free hosted limits; you can still export or delete your data. Self-hosted deployments are unaffected. ### Do I need to provide a payment method for the free requests? Not until the first 100 protected hosted requests are used. Then a managed cloud plan needs a payment method to continue, and its subscription begins at Checkout. Self-hosting never requires a ForeverBetter payment method. ### Can I change plans? Yes. Use the billing portal from the dashboard. Plan changes are reflected from verified Stripe subscription events. ## Cloud operator setup Create one recurring monthly price for each hosted plan in the existing ForeverBetter Stripe account: **Standard $9.99**, **Builder $24.99**, and **Growth \$49** (the highest self-serve hosted plan). Add the resulting price IDs and the Stripe secret key as cloud secrets; never put them in source control. Configure Stripe to send these events to `https://api.foreverbetter.xyz/billing/stripe/webhook`: * `checkout.session.completed` * `customer.subscription.created`, `customer.subscription.updated`, and `customer.subscription.deleted` * `invoice.paid` and `invoice.payment_failed` Set `BILLING_ENABLED=true` plus the endpoint signing secret as `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET`. The application verifies Stripe's raw-body signature, stores events idempotently, and only then updates a workspace's hosted tier. Configure the Stripe customer portal to let customers update payment details, switch plans, download invoices, and cancel.
