Credits & Pricing

CrawlKit uses a simple credit-based system. Credits are charged per API call based on the endpoint used.

How Credits Work

Each endpoint has a specific credit cost:

Endpoint	Credit Cost
Scrape (`/crawl/scrape`)	1 credit
Extract (`/crawl/extract`)	5 + (maxDepth * 2) credits
Web Search (`/crawl/search`)	1 credit
Screenshot (`/crawl/screenshot`)	1 credit
LinkedIn Company (`/crawl/linkedin/company`)	1 credit
LinkedIn Person (`/crawl/linkedin/person`)	3 credits
Instagram Profile (`/crawl/instagram/profile`)	1 credit
Instagram Content (`/crawl/instagram/content`)	1 credit
PlayStore Detail (`/crawl/playstore/detail`)	1 credit
PlayStore Reviews (`/crawl/playstore/reviews`)	1 credit
AppStore Reviews (`/crawl/appstore/reviews`)	1 credit

Each response includes creditsUsed and creditsRemaining so you always know your balance.

Every API response shows your remaining credits:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "creditsUsed": 1,
    "creditsRemaining": 847
  }
}

You can also check your profile in the dashboard to see your current balance.

Buy credits in bulk for better rates:

250,000	$150.00	$0.00060	40%
500,000+	Custom	$0.00050	50%

If you try to make a request with no credits, you’ll get a 402 Payment Required error:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS",
    "message": "You have 0 credits remaining. Please purchase more."
  }
}
