Pricing — Free & Open
The API is currently free and open. No account, no API key, no credit card. Just send an HTTPS POST to https://api.claudewatermark.org. Fair-use rate limits apply to keep it available for everyone; if you need higher volume or a self-hosted deployment, get in touch.

What we do not do
We do not sell a plan that "guarantees" your text will be undetectable. The rewrite endpoint paraphrases text, which reduces statistical watermark and AI-detection signal, but no tool can promise a text will pass every detector, and the statistical token watermark itself can only be read with the model owner’s private key. We would rather be straight with you than invent numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an API key?
No. The API is open. Send a POST request and you get a response. If that changes, this page will say so.
What are the limits?
Text endpoints accept up to 200KB (20KB for rewrite); images up to 12MB. Fair-use rate limiting may apply per IP to keep the service healthy.
Is my data stored?
No. Requests are processed in memory and discarded. Nothing is logged to a database.
Is there a self-hosted option?
The worker is small and self-contained. If you want to run your own copy, reach out.
