Direct subscribers can pay yearly ($16/mo Basic, $49/mo Pro). Historical ADS-B and Webhooks require Pro or higher. Historical lookback depends on the URL path prefix (/ultra/... vs /mega/...), not the plan name alone. Ultra and Mega are legacy plans kept by existing subscribers only — see Rate Limits → Legacy plans.
Full quotas, overage pricing, and response headers: Rate Limits. Error shapes and retries: Error Handling.
