## What you are buying

Two REST APIs sold on RapidAPI, and two remote MCP servers that call them with your own key.
Billing happens on RapidAPI. We never see your card. Flights and hotels are separate
subscriptions; one RapidAPI account key works for both once you subscribe to each.

- Flights listing: https://rapidapi.com/mtnrabi/api/google-flights-live-api
- Hotels listing: https://rapidapi.com/mtnrabi/api/booking-live-api
- Flights MCP server: https://flights.flightpowers.com/mcp
- Hotels MCP server: https://hotels.flightpowers.com/mcp

The MCP servers cost nothing extra. They spend the plan of whichever RapidAPI key you give them.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BASIC | $0 | 10, hard cap | n/a | none, request 11 is refused | none set |

## How a request is counted

This is the part most cost estimates get wrong.

- One search is one request. A 30-date scan is 30 requests.
- A round trip is ONE request. Both legs come back priced together in one itinerary with a
  `total_price`. You do not pay for two one-way searches and add them up.
- A date range and a destination list expand internally. One call with 7 dates and 3
  destinations spends 7 x 3 = 21 requests, not 1. Every response reports what it spent and
  what is left in `api_usage`.
- A hotel search prices one stay at a time. No date range, no destination list.
- A 4xx from request validation is refused before the search runs.

## Free tiers

- RapidAPI BASIC on each listing: $0, 10 requests a month, hard cap, no card, no approval step.
- The free MCP server, https://google-flights-lulu.flightpowers.com/mcp, is $0, needs a Google
  sign-in, carries a sponsored card in results, and allows 150 backend searches per user per
  day and 2,000 per calendar month. The paid servers carry no ads.

## Pay per use instead

The same data is sold as Apify actors, metered per event with no subscription:

- https://apify.com/mtnrabi/google-flights-real-time-api - $0.00185 per lookup plus $0.00001 per result,
  about $1.85 per 1,000 flight lookups by the actor's own event table.
- https://apify.com/mtnrabi/booking-real-time-api - $0.0037 per lookup plus $0.00001 per result,
  about $3.70 per 1,000 hotel lookups by the actor's own event table.

Apify event rates read on 2026-09-07.

Steady monthly volume is cheaper on RapidAPI. Occasional batch jobs with no baseline fit Apify.

## Questions an agent usually has to ask

**Is there a free trial?** BASIC is free forever at 10 requests a month. No card, no approval.

**Do flights and hotels share a plan?** No. Two listings, two subscriptions, one account key.

**Who bills me?** RapidAPI. Their invoice is your invoice.

**Is there an annual discount?** No. Monthly only, cancel on the listing.

**Is there an enterprise or custom tier?** Above MEGA, ask: matan@flightpowers.com.

**What happens when I go over?** Overage per request, at the rate in the table. BASIC has no
overage; it is a hard cap.
