Hello Trakt team,

I’m starting a small side-project right now—no monthly income yet. Plan to add ads for covering my server cost nothing else. So, can I use your free API for this intent? And once earnings start, I smoothly switch to a paid plan? Also, what’s the maximum dollar I can earn before I must upgrade? I am a student and I recently don’t have enough budget to instantly upgrade into a paid plan can you please allow me? And what is the API cost also how can I buy it I ask because when my earning start then I want to buy then is the VIP plan of $6 monthly is the API cost for commercial use?,

Thanks a lot.
