Firecrawl credits
On Firecrawl's paid plans 1,000 credits cost $0.75 (Scale) to $3.80 (Hobby) when you use the month's allowance in full, and extra pay-as-you-go credits cost $5.00 per 1,000 on Hobby down to $1.00 on Scale. A scraped or crawled page uses 1 credit, a search 2 credits per 10 results, and JSON extraction adds 4 credits a page. The free plan gives 1,000 credits a month.
How many credits does each request use?
| Request or option | Credits | Per |
|---|---|---|
| Scrape | 1 | per page |

| Map | 1 | per call |
| Search | 2 | per 10 results |

Options stack: "These modifiers stack. For example, scraping a page with both JSON format and Zero Data Retention costs 1 + 4 + 1 = 6 credits per page, and JSON format with PII redaction costs 1 + 4 + 4 = 9 credits." Interact is 2 credits a browser minute, 7 with a prompt. The pricing page lists PDF parsing at 1 credit per PDF page; the billing docs list it as 1 credit per PDF page on top of the scrape.
