Phyllo pricing in 2026: what it costs and how to get a quote

November 9, 2026

Short answer

Phyllo pricing is not published. Its pricing page offers customized plans by use case, a free sign-up with a sandbox and a Get a Quote form, with no dollar figures, plan tiers or credit costs. To compare Phyllo with other APIs, ask for a quote at your monthly volume and divide it by the calls or creators you expect to use.

Phyllo does not list a price anywhere on getphyllo.com. The pricing page says plans are customized to your use case and sends you to a quote form or a demo call. Below is everything Phyllo does publish, what you are actually paying for, a worksheet that turns a quote into a cost per 1,000 calls, and the questions to ask before you sign.

Phyllo pricing: what the pricing page shows

Item	What Phyllo publishes
Plan names and tiers	None. "Customized plans" depending on your use case
Dollar prices	None
Free option	A "Sign Up for Free" button and a Sandbox link, both to the Phyllo dashboard. No terms or limits stated
Credits, call limits, rate limits	Not published
Billing cycle, overages, contract length	Not published
Support	24x7 by email, chat and Discord, a named account manager, and a 3 to 6 business hour SLA
Coverage	"20+ social platforms" on the pricing page; "25+ platforms" and 470M+ indexed profiles on the home page

Third-party sites quote starting prices for Phyllo. None of those figures appear on Phyllo's own pages, so we leave them out. The only reliable number is the one in your quote.

Phyllo API pricing: what you are buying

Phyllo sells two kinds of data, and the quote depends on which you need.

Public data APIs: creator search, profile analytics, content, comment analysis and social listening, per the social data API page. These work on any public creator.
Authenticated (consented) APIs: verified income, audience data and private performance metrics. The creator signs in through the platform's official login, sees which fields are shared and approves them. No passwords are stored.
Other products: Identity, Publish, Social KYC, TikTok Shop APIs and an MCP connector for AI assistants, listed on the home page.

The coverage page maps 27 platforms to Identity, Engagement and Income products, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn, X, Patreon, Substack, Shopify and OnlyFans. Consented income data on platforms like Patreon or Shopify is something a public-data API cannot give you at any price.

Phyllo free trial and sandbox

Phyllo does not advertise a timed free trial. What it offers is a free dashboard sign-up and a sandbox. Its official Postman collection on GitHub describes the flow: you ask Phyllo for API access, Phyllo emails a CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET, and you make requests against a sandbox environment at api.sandbox.getphyllo.com. Phyllo does not publish how long sandbox access lasts, how many calls it allows, or how you move to production. Ask during the demo.

Phyllo cost per request: turn a quote into a number

Because the unit of billing is not published, use one formula for any quote:

cost per 1,000 = monthly quote / (calls you will really make a month / 1,000)

Use calls you will actually make, not the plan's ceiling. If the quote is per connected creator instead of per call, divide by creators. Then compare against a published price at the same volume:

Public lookups a month	ScrapeIO at $1.88 per 1,000	ScrapeIO at $0.99 per 1,000	Phyllo per 1,000, quote Q
10,000	$18.80	$9.90	Q / 10
100,000	$188	$99	Q / 100
1,000,000	$1,880	$990	Q / 1,000

The $0.99 rate applies on the $497 pack of 500,000 credits. Read the table as a break-even line. If your Phyllo quote is above the ScrapeIO column, the extra buys consented data, support and an SLA, not cheaper public lookups. That can be worth it. Just know which one you are paying for.

Questions to ask Phyllo sales

What is the billing unit: API calls, connected accounts, profiles returned, or a flat platform fee?
Which products are in the quote: public data, consented data, or both? Which platforms?
Is there a minimum term or an annual commitment? How is it paid?
What happens above the plan limit: overage fees, throttling, or an upgrade?
Are failed calls, empty results or repeat calls on the same creator charged?
What are the rate limits, and how fresh is public profile data?
How long does sandbox access last, and what does production approval involve?

Who Phyllo fits

You are	Best fit
A fintech or payout platform that needs verified creator income	Phyllo authenticated APIs
A creator platform where creators sign in and share private metrics	Phyllo, with its Linkage SDK consent flow
A brand vetting creators with a ready-made audience report	Phyllo public APIs, or an influencer database such as Modash (see Modash pricing)
A developer or AI agent that needs public profiles, posts and comments in bursts	A pay-per-call API with published prices

Is Phyllo worth it?

Phyllo is worth it when consent is the product. Verified earnings, true audience data shared by the creator, private post metrics, identity checks and publishing on the creator's behalf all need the creator to connect an account. Phyllo is built for that, and ScrapeIO cannot do it: ScrapeIO reads only public data and cannot act as a user. Phyllo also includes 24x7 support with a named account manager, which matters if a creator integration sits in your core product.

Phyllo is a harder sell when you only need public data. You wait for a demo and a quote before you can price your project, and you cannot test volume costs on your own. For public profiles, posts, comments and transcripts, a published per-call price lets you estimate the bill today.

Phyllo alternatives

Doing it with ScrapeIO

For public creator data, use the Instagram profile API, TikTok profile API and YouTube channel API, add TikTok audience demographics at 26 credits and the creator email API at 10. Most calls cost 1 credit, you get 100 free credits with no card, and packs start at $47 for 25,000 credits that never expire. Agents can use the creator tools MCP server.

Phyllo's core is consented data a creator chooses to share, plus public data APIs. Modash is an influencer database and campaign app with published plan prices. See Modash pricing.
