Limits worth knowing in Leap
- The Free plan gives 15 credits a month and a daily cap of 5, so it covers a few requests only.
- Credits are spent per request and bigger requests use more; extra credits cost more than plan credits and expire after 2 months.
- Custom domains and no daily limit need a paid Pro package.
- The docs describe it as best for new projects, and the price page could not be read as rendered text, so figures come from the docs.
