The service supports web and API use. A free Checkout+ plan is listed; Essential starts at $155 a month, and Advanced at $340 a month. Loop describes itself as SOC 2 certified, says stored data is encrypted at rest with AES-256, and says its practices adhere to regulations including GDPR and CCPA. It advertises 24/5 support, an average response time under two hours, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
