Linkup adds a 'pro' Fetch mode and a schema surcharge, splitting a 2-price endpoint into 5

Linkup pricing

Linkup's billing docs add a second Fetch pricing dimension - a 'pro' mode alongside the existing JS-rendering toggle - plus a flat $0.001 structured-output surcharge, pushing the top Fetch rate from $0.005 to $0.011.

Before

Fetch was priced on a single dimension (renderJs): $0.001 without JS rendering, $0.005 with it.

After

Fetch is now priced on mode (standard/pro) x renderJs, plus an optional schema surcharge: $0.001 (standard, no JS) up to $0.01 (pro, with JS), or $0.011 with a structured-output schema added. The marketing pricing page still shows only the old $0.001-$0.005 range.

Linkup’s API pricing docs quietly restructured the Fetch endpoint from a single-dimension price (JS rendering on/off) into a two-dimension price: a new mode parameter (standard or pro) alongside the existing renderJs toggle, plus an optional schema field for structured output that adds a flat $0.001 on top of any combination.

The previously-published rates hold at the low end - standard mode with no JS render is still $0.001, standard mode with JS render is still $0.005 - but pro mode is new and roughly doubles the equivalent standard-mode rate: $0.005 (pro, no JS) and $0.01 (pro, with JS). Adding a schema pushes the ceiling to $0.011, more than double the old $0.005 maximum. The marketing pricing page’s Fetch card has not been updated to reflect the new mode and still advertises the old $0.001-$0.005 range only - the same kind of marketing-vs-docs lag Linkup previously had on Deep search before its July 2026 correction.

Separately, the Enterprise page added HIPAA to its compliance badge list (alongside SOC 2 Type II, SSO, and Zero Data Retention). Search, Research, Extract, and x402 rates are all unchanged.

From Linkup's pricing timeline
Fetch endpoint repriced around a new 'pro' mode; HIPAA added to Enterprise

The billing docs add a second Fetch dimension — mode (standard/pro) alongside renderJs — plus a flat $0.001 surcharge for a structured-output schema: standard/no-JS stays $0.001 and standard/JS stays $0.005, but a new pro mode adds $0.005 (no JS) and $0.01 (with JS) price points, up to $0.011 with schema. The marketing pricing page's Fetch card still shows the old $0.001–$0.005 range only. Separately, the Enterprise page adds HIPAA to its compliance badges (alongside SOC 2 Type II, SSO, ZDR). Search, Research, Extract, and x402 rates unchanged.
