One pricing system.
Every product.
The Crawling API with screenshots, the Crawler, Smart AI Proxy and Cloud Storage all draw from one credit balance, on one rate card.
Pay only for successful requests. Start free, no credit card.
01 Two ways to pay
Pay as you go, or subscribe.
Every account starts on pay as you go. A subscription is optional: a monthly credit block at a lower effective rate, on the same rate card.
Pay as you go
$0monthly fee
No monthly fee and no card to start. You are charged only for successful requests, at graduated rates that fall as your volume grows.
- Rates from $3.00 down to $0.02 per 1,000
- Optional hard spend cap
- Billed monthly in arrears, for what you used
Subscription
From $99/ mo
A monthly block of credits at a lower effective rate. Usage past the block continues as pay as you go on the same ladder, at the bracket your volume already reached.
- 200K to 2M credits included monthly
- Overage continues on the same rate card
- Yearly billing: 1 month free, 8% off
Enterprise: custom volume, SLA and invoicing.

One graduated ladder, like income tax.
Volume fills each bracket at that bracket's own rate, so no single rate ever applies to everything. Drag the volume to see the exact bill.

Site difficulty
Most of the web is standard. A small set of heavily defended sites carries a higher multiplier, applied automatically.

The card shows standard requests. Site difficulty and JavaScript rendering multiply a group's ladder total, and the estimate above applies them exactly.

03 Subscriptions
Optional plans, cheaper per credit.
A subscription buys a monthly credit block at a lower effective rate. The block resets monthly, and usage past it continues as pay as you go on the same rate card.

06 FAQ
Pricing questions.
Only successful requests are billed. A request that fails or is blocked costs nothing, whatever the site or rendering mode.
Every new account starts with 1,000 free credits and no card on file, and completing setup steps grows that to up to 5,000. The free credits work across every product.
Yes. Set an optional hard spend cap in the dashboard and usage stops before the bill passes it. Raise, lower or remove it any time.
Pay as you go bills in arrears for what you actually used, so there is nothing to expire. A subscription's credit block resets with each monthly cycle.
Usage continues as pay as you go on the same rate card, at the bracket your volume already reached. Prefer a hard stop? Turn pay as you go off and requests pause at the block instead.
From the same balance. Storing a page costs 0.5 credits per month it is kept, and a screenshot capture costs 2 credits.
Enterprise adds custom volume, SLAs and invoicing. Talk to sales about a plan for your program.
