aioratings is a drop-in RatingPosterDB replacement. The default poster and every rating source are available on every tier, free included — what you pay for is call volume and the custom poster designer (a drag-and-drop canvas where you choose which rating badges appear and where, saved as reusable profiles), which RPDB doesn’t offer. The automatic top-right Oscar / Emmy award statuette is included on every tier too.
The free tier works immediately — wire aioratings into Stremio, Plex or Kometa with zero friction — then upgrade for higher volume and the canvas designer.
| Tier | Price | Monthly calls | Rating sources | Award statuette | Canvas designer + saved profiles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 10,000 / mo | All sources | Yes (automatic) | No — default poster only |
| Premium | $4.99/mo · $40/yr (early-bird, ~33% off annual) | Unlimited (fair-use ~1,000,000 / mo) | All sources | Yes | Yes — custom canvas + saved profiles, assignable per key |
| Pro | Contact / see dashboard | Unlimited (fair-use ~1,000,000 / mo) | All sources | Yes | Yes — more saved profiles |
“Lifetime” is a billing offer (a one-time purchase of premium/pro access), not a separate capability tier.
What’s gated
Section titled “What’s gated”- Call volume. Free keys are capped at 10,000 image calls per month. Premium and Pro are effectively unlimited, with a fair-use ceiling around 1,000,000 calls per month.
- The custom canvas designer + saved profiles. This is premium-only.
Only premium/pro keys can save a custom design and use a non-default profile in
the poster URL; on a free key a custom profile returns
403and you useposter-default. Premium/pro can also assign a default profile to a key in the dashboard so plainposter-defaultURLs render the assigned design. Pro adds more saved-profile slots than Premium. - Rating sources are not gated. Every key — free, premium and pro — can request the full set of MDBList sources (IMDb, TMDB, Rotten Tomatoes critic & audience, Metacritic, Trakt, Letterboxd, MyAnimeList, MDBList score, Roger Ebert) via the rating parameters, and every key gets the automatic Oscar / Emmy award statuette.
Usage metering
Section titled “Usage metering”Every ratings/poster request is logged, and a daily roll-up aggregates
per-user monthly usage. The per-tier API-call allowances shown on the pricing
page are the published limits; the isValid
endpoint reports a key’s limit (the tier monthly quota; 0 = unlimited) and
its live requestCount.
Billing
Section titled “Billing”- Checkout is via Stripe, initiated from the pricing page (monthly / annual toggle). Success returns to the billing dashboard.
- Your account tier (free / premium / pro) is stored on the user and read on every API request to gate sources and profiles as above.
