Free for a working integration
Free includes 1,000 requests each month and a 60 requests-per-minute limit. It fits prototypes, staging environments, personal tools and low-volume pages that need a current or converted date value.

Choose by workload
Pay for the request pattern you actually run
The useful difference between plans is not a long feature checklist. It is the amount and shape of traffic your integration sends. Start with the free allowance while you build and measure real usage. Move to a paid plan when the monthly allowance or per-minute limit becomes part of the application design.
Essential for steady API traffic
Essential removes the monthly request cap and raises the sustained limit to 180 requests per minute. Choose it when date and time output is part of a production workflow but the SVG timer is not required.
Unlimited for countdown output
Unlimited raises the limit to 250 requests per minute and adds the fixed-size SVG countdown endpoint. Use it for countdown embeds with labels, colour controls and optional count-up behaviour after the target time.
Included in every plan
The same date and time API, with clear access controls
Every workspace can return current or converted date and time values as text, JSON, YAML, XML or a JavaScript module. Custom patterns cover short values such as a report month, invoice period or export filename without adding a date library to the calling page.
Browser requests can be limited to approved origins. Server requests can use an approved IP address or an HMAC signature when a stable outbound IP is not available. The workspace ID identifies the account but is not treated as a secret.
Response caching follows the precision of the value. A daily response refreshes at local midnight, while hour, minute and second responses expire at their next boundary. This keeps repeated requests useful without serving a value after its relevant time window.
Pricing FAQ
Questions before you choose a plan
Which GetNowDate plan should I choose?
Use Free for demos, staging and low-volume embeds. Choose Essential when you need date and time responses without a monthly cap. Choose Unlimited when you also need the SVG countdown endpoint or the highest rate limit.
Do paid plans have a monthly request cap?
No. Essential and Unlimited do not have a monthly request cap. They keep per-minute limits of 180 and 250 requests so traffic remains predictable.
What happens when a rate limit is reached?
A limited request can return HTTP 429. Wait for the Retry-After period before sending more requests and avoid retrying every failed call at the same time.
Is the SVG countdown included in Essential?
No. The fixed 640 by 200 SVG countdown endpoint is included with Unlimited. Free and Essential cover date and time responses in the documented text and data formats.
