Start with 10k free tasks every month. Upgrade when you need production volume: your $20 monthly payment becomes usage credit, then events are metered at a simple task rate.
For local development, test webhooks, and proving out a first webhook-to-destination flow.
Your monthly payment is applied to usage. Scale up without choosing a tier or renegotiating a plan.
A task is one accepted event received or one initial event pushed to a destination. Retries are included, so broken endpoints do not multiply the bill.
$6.00 credit applied, no usage above credit.
The dashboard shows events received, events pushed, byte volume, and per-source breakdowns. The billable task count is derived from those same counters.
Each accepted webhook creates one received task. Rate-limited and rejected requests do not count.
Each initial push to a destination creates one pushed task. Delivery retries stay included.
Your $20 Pro payment covers the first 666k tasks each month before usage charges appear.
For usage, we count tasks: one accepted event received by Axel, and one initial event pushed to a destination. Rejected requests do not count.
No. Retries are included. If your destination fails and Axel retries delivery, those retry attempts do not create more billable tasks.
Received events pay for durable ingest and replay. Pushed events pay for fan-out work. Counting both keeps single-destination usage cheap while making multi-destination fan-out predictable.
Usage continues at $0.03 per 1,000 tasks. The dashboard shows received events, pushed events, task usage, and the estimated invoice before the month closes.
Start on the free plan, then upgrade when production traffic is ready. Pro keeps pricing predictable without forcing you into a tier.
