Apollo Optics is now free for up to 1 million GraphQL requests per month, a significant increase from its previous limit of 10,000 requests. This change aims to make Optics more accessible to developers and teams of all sizes, with the goal of removing obstacles to industry-wide GraphQL adoption. The new pricing move follows the launch of Apollo Engine, which offers similar features to Optics but with additional capabilities such as error tracking, query caching, and support for up to 1 million requests per month. As part of this effort, Apollo is also introducing Optics Pro, an add-on feature that provides extended data retention, architectural review sessions, priority support, and direct access to GraphQL experts. The Optics Pro add-on starts at $499/month and is available now, with more features planned for later in the year.
