What stays free

Keep these in mind before you assume Free is wider than it is.

REST coverage

BTC and km:US500 stay available

You keep the core REST routes for BTC on Hyperliquid and km:US500 on HIP-3 after the trial ends.

Diagnostics

Freshness and data-quality routes stay on

Status, coverage, incidents, latency, SLA, summary, and cursor pagination remain available on Free.

Tooling

The full toolchain still works

SDKs, the CLI, the MCP server, and the Claude Code skill stay available even on the narrow free plan.

What is excluded

These are the three limits that usually force the upgrade decision.

Transport

No WebSocket or replay on Free

Free is REST-only. Move up when the workload needs live streams or replay continuity.

Depth

No L4, L3, or wider Lighter detail

Deep order book routes and finer Lighter reconstruction stay behind paid plans.

Breadth

Coverage stays intentionally narrow

Anything beyond BTC and km:US500 needs a wider plan, and bulk export is not included.

What Free is for

Use Free for narrow prototypes after the trial. It is not a full-market plan.

When to upgrade

Upgrade when the workload is wider than the free symbol set or needs live transport.

More symbols

You need broader market coverage

Upgrade when the job extends past BTC or km:US500.

Live transport

You need streams or replay

WebSocket and replay are the cleanest upgrade trigger for most live systems.

More depth

You need wider history or deeper books

Upgrade when 30 days, 20 levels, or the free symbol set is no longer enough.
