vatlayer Pricing, Plans & Alternatives (2026)

Overview

vatlayer is an APILayer product combining EU VAT number validation, EU VAT rates and VAT-compliant price calculation^[23]. Its documentation describes validation across EU member states using official EU databases and member-state systems, without naming VIES^[24].

Plans are priced in US dollars, from a free plan of 100 requests a month to an Enterprise plan of 20,000 requests at $99.99 a month, with discounts of 10–15% for yearly billing and published per-request overage rates^[23]. The pricing FAQ states that 256-bit HTTPS encryption is included with paid plans, and the free plan is excluded from commercial use^[23]. Optional annual Platinum Support costs from $479.88^[23].

Overage is billed per request, from about $0.04 on Basic to $0.02 on Enterprise. The documentation reviewed does not list response fields, does not mention consultation numbers or UK coverage, and offers no bulk or retry features, which places it last on the methodology’s criteria despite its low entry price.
