--- title: "Pricing — Apparel Monster" description: "What it costs to use the Apparel Monster APIs and agent surfaces, and what the storefront itself charges: access tiers, catalog prices, shipping rates, taxes and promotions." canonical: https://apparel.monster/pricing last-updated: 2026-09-16 --- # Apparel Monster — Pricing Two different things are priced on this domain, and conflating them is the most common mistake an agent makes here: 1. **Access to the APIs and agent surfaces** — free, in every tier. Sections below say exactly what each tier allows and what it does not. 2. **The merchandise** — real catalog prices in USD, plus shipping and tax. **Currency:** USD, decimal dollars in the REST API; ACP and UCP express the same amounts in integer minor units (cents). **Catalog size:** 116 products, 30 categories, Men / Women / Sportswear. **Last updated:** 2026-09-16. Canonical page: ## Free — anonymous - Price: $0 (permanent, not a trial) - Payment card: not required - Account: not required - API key: not required - Allowance: 120 requests per 60 seconds per IP on `/api/v1`; 60 per 60s advertised on `/api/v2` - Features: catalog search, product lookup, cart, checkout, price-watch, wallet link minting, the full MCP tool set, ACP and UCP checkout sessions, WebMCP tools in-page, every `.well-known` document, markdown twins of every page - Limits: cannot read another shopper's order history; no admin surface - Throttle behaviour: `429` with `Retry-After`, plus `RateLimit-*` headers on every response - URL: ## Free — authenticated (OAuth) - Price: $0 - Payment card: not required - Account: required (Spree customer account, or the `client_credentials` flow for a service) - Allowance: same request budget as Anonymous - Features: everything in Anonymous, plus `POST /api/v1/track` — a shopper's own order history and shipment status — under the `agent:track` scope - Auth: OAuth 2.0 authorization code + PKCE (S256), or client credentials. Metadata at [`/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`](https://apparel.monster/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server) - Limits: `agent:track` reads only the resource owner's own orders - URL: ## Pay per call — agent-paid (x402) - Price: $0.05 USDC per call, on Base **Sepolia testnet** — test funds, not money - Payment card: not required - Account: not required - Allowance: one agent promo code per successful payment - Features: returns the `AGENT5PCT` coupon, worth 5% off a cart - Limits: testnet only; exists to demonstrate an HTTP 402 flow end to end - URL: ## Plan comparison | | Free — anonymous | Free — OAuth | Pay per call (x402) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Price | $0 | $0 | $0.05 testnet USDC per call | | Permanent | yes, not a trial | yes, not a trial | pay as you go | | Account needed | no | yes | no | | API key needed | no | no | no | | Payment card needed | no | no | no, testnet wallet | | Rate limit | 120 per 60s per IP | 120 per 60s per IP | 120 per 60s per IP | | Catalog search | yes | yes | yes | | Product detail | yes | yes | yes | | Cart build and update | yes | yes | yes | | Place an order | yes | yes | yes | | Apple Pay / Google Pay link | yes | yes | yes | | Price watches and callbacks | yes | yes | yes | | Batch (10 ops per request) | yes | yes | yes | | MCP, commerce actions | yes | yes | yes | | MCP, documentation | yes | yes | yes | | NLWeb `/ask` | yes | yes | yes | | ACP and UCP checkout sessions | yes | yes | yes | | WebMCP tools in page | yes | yes | yes | | Markdown twin of any page | yes | yes | yes | | Own order history (`track`) | no | yes, scope `agent:track` | no | | Promo code issuance | no | no | yes, `AGENT5PCT` | | Admin / Platform API | no | no | no | | Support | community | community | community | ## Service limits - The API is free, and anonymous for everything except one endpoint. It is not metered and carries no cost. - 120 requests per 60 seconds per IP on `/api/v1`; `/api/v2` advertises 60 per 60s. - Every response carries `RateLimit-Limit`, `-Remaining`, `-Reset` and `-Policy`, plus the `X-RateLimit-*` spelling of the same values. - Every `429` carries `Retry-After`. Honour it rather than backing off blindly. - A batch counts one unit per operation, not one per request: batching saves round trips, not budget. - SSE streams (`/api/v1/search`, `/api/v1/checkout`, `/ask`) are capped at 60s server-side. ## What is not sold - No subscription, no monthly tier, no seats - No per-request API pricing: the commerce API is free to call - No metered usage and no overage billing - No free trial that expires — the free tiers are permanent - No paywalled documentation: every document here is public and ungated - No real money anywhere. This is a demo store; the one paid tier settles in Base Sepolia testnet tokens ## Notes for agents - Machine-readable prices: `GET https://apparel.monster/api/v2/storefront/products` (JSON:API), or `https://apparel.monster/feeds/products.jsonl` for the whole catalog as schema.org `Product` records - Over MCP: `search_products` and `get_product` return per-variant prices; the documentation server at `https://apparel.monster/mcp/docs` can read this file as the `pricing` resource - Prices live on **variants**, never on the product. A product with five sizes has five prices - Read `totals.total` from a cart or checkout response; do not re-derive it from line items, shipping and tax - ACP and UCP express money in integer minor units (cents); this REST API uses decimals ## Merchandise price ranges by category | Category | Typical price range | |---|---| | Men — T-shirts | $15 – $45 | | Men — Shirts | $35 – $95 | | Men — Sweaters | $60 – $150 | | Men — Jackets & Coats | $85 – $250 | | Women — Tops & T-shirts | $20 – $60 | | Women — Shirts & Blouses | $35 – $110 | | Women — Sweaters | $55 – $140 | | Women — Skirts | $40 – $110 | | Women — Dresses | $55 – $160 | | Women — Jackets & Coats | $90 – $260 | | Sportswear — Tops | $25 – $65 | | Sportswear — Sweatshirts | $45 – $95 | | Sportswear — Pants | $40 – $110 | Ranges are guidance for recommendation, not quotes. Live prices: `GET https://apparel.monster/api/v2/storefront/products?filter[taxons]=`, or the bulk feed at `https://apparel.monster/feeds/products.jsonl` (schema.org `Product` JSON-LD, one product per line, with `offers.price` and `offers.availability`). ## Shipping | Method | Typical cost | Delivery | |---|---|---| | Standard (domestic US) | $5.00 – $9.99 | 3–5 business days | | Expedited (domestic US) | $12.00 – $19.99 | 1–2 business days | | International | varies by destination | 5–14 business days | Final shipping cost is computed at checkout once a ship-to address is set. Over `/api/v1`, `POST /api/v1/cart` with `action=billing` then `action=shipping` returns the real `shipping_options` with their prices and delivery windows. ## Taxes Sales tax is computed at checkout from the ship-to address. Listed prices are pre-tax. Cart and checkout responses break out `subtotal`, `shipping`, `tax` and `total` separately — read `total`, never re-derive it. ## Promotions | Promotion | Discount | How to apply | |---|---|---| | Summer Sale | up to 40% off | Items under `categories/summer-sale` | | Special Offers — 30% Off | 30% off | Items under `categories/special-offers/30-percent-off` | | Agent promo code | 5% off | `AGENT5PCT`, issued by the x402 tier above | | Coupon codes | varies | `POST /api/v1/cart` `action=coupon`, or `PATCH /api/v2/storefront/cart/apply_coupon_code` | ## Payment methods - Major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) - Apple Pay and Google Pay, via a hosted link minted by `POST /api/v1/wallet` and opened by a human at `https://apparel.monster/pay/{token}` - Agent-delegated payment: ACP `POST /agentic_commerce/delegate_payment`, or a UCP payment mandate — see [`/.well-known/ucp`](https://apparel.monster/.well-known/ucp) - x402 (testnet USDC on Base Sepolia) for the agent-paid tier above ## Refunds and returns 30 days from delivery, unworn with tags attached. Initiated by the shopper in the customer portal or through support. Not programmatically settable over the public API today. ## Agent-facing pricing endpoints | Endpoint | What it returns | |---|---| | `/api/v2/storefront/products` | Live per-product prices (JSON:API) | | `/api/v2/storefront/products?filter[price]=MIN,MAX` | Products within a USD price range | | `/feeds/products.jsonl` | Bulk catalog dump — schema.org Product JSON-LD | | `/sitemap.xml` | 116 product URLs | | `/llms-full.txt` | Full content bundle including the catalog | | `/.well-known/api-catalog` | RFC 9727 API discovery | ## This is a demo store Orders are placed against a test payment gateway. Nothing is fulfilled, nothing ships and no money moves — including in the paid tier above, which settles in testnet tokens. The prices are real data for a real Spree catalog; the commerce is a demonstration. ## Contact Wholesale, B2B pricing or bulk orders outside the public catalog: reaches the store operator.
