# Fees & Monetization

> Socket is free to use for third-party integrators and users alike.

**For users,** Socket does not charge any additional fees. All onchain execution costs are covered within the quoted fees. Socket does not add any markup or hidden fees to transactions.

**For integrators,** Socket does not charge a fee for using the API. However, integrations are free to implement fee charging for their own services. If you plan to implement fees, please request API access first.

## Implementing Fee Charging

If you plan to implement fees in your integration, please follow these steps:

1. Request API access to ensure reliable service for your users

2. Review the [Charging Fees Guide](/integrate/integration-guides/additional-guides/charging-fees) for technical implementation details

3. Understand the fee parameters in the [API Integration Guide](/integrate/integration-guides/socket-api)
