The cut list, as an API.

POST your stock and your cuts. Get back an optimal cutting plan, proven and verified. One endpoint, two official clients, no SDK of ours to learn.

No wrapper, no proxy

You get a real LinearCutting key

Your code calls api.linearcutting.com directly. Nothing routes through this site: no extra hop, no wrapper, nothing of ours between your request and the solver. You use LinearCutting's own documentation and its official clients, so there is no SDK of ours to learn.

Powered by LinearCutting.com

The API you are buying is the LinearCutting API: the same endpoints, the same official clients, the same documentation. LinearCutList sells access to it and handles your billing. It does not sit in front of it, wrap it, or slow it down: your requests go straight to LinearCutting.

The plans

Cheaper, and smaller. On purpose.

API only: a key and a hard monthly cap. No dashboard, no saved jobs, no teams, and no surprise invoice, because there is no overage. Hit the cap and you get a 429 until the 1st, or you upgrade.

Starter

$5 / month

A side project, a spreadsheet macro, or a shop with one saw.

Requests 500 / mo
Rate 20 / min
Max pieces 500
Overage none, hard cap

Choose Starter

Studio

$18 / month

A real integration: a quoting tool, an ERP hook, a workshop app.

Requests 2,500 / mo
Rate 60 / min
Max pieces 1,000
Overage none, hard cap

Choose Studio

Overage none, hard cap

Every plan is a hard cap by default, so you can never get a surprise invoice. Turn overage on and you keep going past the limit at the same rate your plan already works out at, up to a spend cap you set. See the plans in full →
