Show HN: Identify company type by IP address

Hm a 403 when one runs out of credit can be misleading as one would expect that for an authorization error. You may want to consider the `402 Payment Required` status code instead which seems to be used by some big players [0].

Best of luck with your launch!

I confirm we updated the API to return a 402 error message when the user reached the limit of the her pricing tier. Thanks again for this suggestion.
