Overages

Crossed your tier? Here's what extra costs.

Pages and anti-bot are metered separately. Direct fetch is essentially free; anti-bot routes carry the per-page cost from the upstream proxy network plus our margin.

TierDirect page overageAnti-bot page overageExtra monitor
Indie$0.001 / page$0.002 / page$1 / mo
Agency$0.0008 / page$0.0015 / page$1 / mo
Studio$0.0006 / page$0.001 / page$1 / mo

Honest math: a 100k-page month at Agency tier = $99 base. A 600k-page month with 100k via anti-bot = $99 + (100k × $0.0008 direct overage) + (100k × $0.0015 anti-bot) = $99 + $80 + $150 = $329.

Why per-page, not per-call

Every other API charges per call. We charge per byte.

A single crawl of a 200-page docs site is one API call to us. Per-call pricing would charge you for 200 pages no matter how small they are. Per-byte means a small page costs a fraction of a cent and a 5MB image-heavy page costs more — which matches reality.

Anti-bot routing is the one place we pass through upstream cost (proxy + headless browser) with a small margin. We tell you the per-call cost in the response so there are no surprises.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I get started?

Email hello@crawlcrawl.com with your project name. We mint a key and reply within 24h. Self-signup with Stripe lands later this quarter.

What happens when I hit a cap?

We return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Your client honours it; no traffic gets dropped silently. Daily caps reset at UTC midnight; monthly caps at the 1st.

Do unused pages roll over?

No. Use them or lose them. Tier upgrade applies immediately and is prorated.

What's an anti-bot page?

Any request you make with cloud_mode set to auto, unblocker, or browser. With auto, we only escalate to anti-bot when direct fetch hits a bot wall (403/429/503/CF challenge), so you only pay the anti-bot rate when needed.

Can I bring my own anti-bot provider?

Not today. We manage the upstream relationship so you don't have to.

Can I self-host?

Not today. If you have a real need, email us.

What about SOC 2 / DPA / DPA / etc.?

Roadmap. We'll support custom DPAs for Studio tier on request.

Ready when you are.

Free tier needs no card. Upgrade emails go to a human, not a chatbot.
