# Pricing and governance

deepface.dev uses usage-based pricing with governance around throughput,
concurrency, and queue behavior.

## What is governed today

* Request rate limits
* Queue depth and queue timeout
* Concurrency limits
* Rolling-usage-aware pricing logic in the gateway

## What customers should expect

* Self-serve account access and dashboard-managed API keys.
* Public docs that explain endpoint behavior and constraints.
* Enterprise throughput, dedicated capacity, and SLA discussions still happen
  directly with the deepface.dev team.
* Production changes that affect pricing are reflected in the API changelog and
  OpenAPI source before rollout.
