Credits

Each request costs credits according to what it actually used. Demo pages are free.

Your account has a credit balance. New accounts get free credits once they verify a phone number (one number per account, from the dashboard). Your balance and every request's cost are in the dashboard.

How a request is priced

A request is priced page by page, from what each page actually used: a plain fetch costs less than a stealth browser through a proxy with AI. Only what happened is billed: a request whose page failed costs nothing (except captchas already solved), and a page served from the cache costs the cache price.

Current prices, per page that uses the feature:

Captchas are billed per type, only when solved, and AI actions and plain-words fields like an AI call, only when the model is asked: a remembered plan is free, and a remembered field costs what a selector costs.

For example, a page rendered in a browser through the proxy pool costs Page fetched + Browser rendering + Proxy. A batch, a crawl or steps cost the sum of their pages.

Free and blocked requests

  • The demo pages (http://localhost:8787/demo/…, used by these docs) are free, except AI: every model call costs real money, so it's billed everywhere.
  • GET /browsers, GET /proxies/countries, GET /health, stored files and session reads are free.
  • With an empty balance, requests on other sites are refused with 402 INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS, before anything is fetched.

Each response carries x-credits-used and x-credits-remaining headers.

What's measured

Every request is logged with the resources it consumed, visible in Dashboard → Logs (click a request): pages fetched and served from cache, attempts, bytes downloaded and how much of it went through proxies, pages rendered in a browser and in stealth mode, screenshots, PDFs, AI calls and steps, captchas. Prices follow these measures.

Buying credits

In Dashboard → Billing:

  • Credit packs: a one-off payment, the credits never expire.
  • Subscriptions, monthly or yearly: their credits are added at each renewal, on top of what's left.

Subscriptions may start with a free trial, and promotion codes are typed on the Stripe checkout page: see Plans. What a plan unlocks besides cheaper credits (requests at once, priority, retention) is in Plans.

Payments go through Stripe. Changing or cancelling a subscription, updating the card and downloading invoices happen on Stripe's billing portal (the Manage subscription & invoices button).
