ZapFetch is billed in credits, in USD. One credit equals one successful operation — no multipliers for output formats, no premium fees for extraction, and no charge for failures.

​
The one rule: 1 credit = 1 operation

A single scrape returning Markdown and HTML and a screenshot and a structured-extract JSON is still 1 credit. Same URL, same price, whatever you ask for.

​
Failures are free

Anything that didn’t return the content you wanted doesn’t cost a credit:
  • HTTP 4xx / 5xx responses
  • Timeouts
  • DNS failures
  • robots.txt denials
  • Partial crawls: only pages that returned 2xx count

​
Plans

Pricing below reflects Launch Year 1 rates (through 2027-04-20). The source of truth for your current subscription is the Billing page.
Credits reset monthly and do not roll over. If you need larger volumes or rollover credits, email sales@zapfetch.com.

​
Launch pricing and what comes after

  • Starter / Pro Launch prices (5/5 / 12) are locked in for users who sign up on or before 2027-04-20 — for as long as you keep the subscription active.
  • Starter / Pro new signups after 2027-04-20 are billed at the standard rate (10∗∗and∗∗10** and **25 respectively). Still cheaper than the nearest comparable plan on Firecrawl.

​
Annual and program discounts

Email support@zapfetch.com with proof and we’ll apply it.

​
Credit usage in responses

Every successful response carries a credit-usage chunk — the same shape Firecrawl returns, so existing client code that reads remaining credits works unchanged.
remainingCredits is cached for ~10 minutes to keep hot paths fast, so a burst of requests may see the count tick down in batches rather than strictly one-by-one.

​
What happens when you run out

  • Once remainingCredits hits zero, subsequent requests return 402 Payment Required with a message pointing to console.zapfetch.com/dashboard/billing.
  • In-flight crawls finish the pages already dispatched; no new pages are scheduled once the balance is exhausted.
  • No silent overage. You’ll never get a surprise bill — ZapFetch refuses to run above your cap unless you’ve explicitly opted into overage.

​
Opt-in overage (Starter and up)

If you’d rather keep serving traffic past the cap than return 402, turn on overage in Billing. You’ll be billed per 1,000 extra credits at a flat rate that depends on your plan (Pro’s per-credit rate is lower than Starter’s). A soft cap triggers a warning email; a hard cap (2× soft) pauses billing so a runaway loop can’t drain your card. Free plan has no overage — runaway traffic hits 429 until the next month.

​
Add-ons (optional)

Add-ons are separate SKUs that stack on top of the Pro plan.
  • APAC Residential Proxy — JP / KR / CN / SG / TW residential IPs for sites that block datacenter ranges (Rakuten, Naver, 1688, etc.)
  • CJK Extract Model — Pretrained extractor for Chinese / Japanese / Korean e-commerce and news
See the pricing page for add-on rates, or email sales@zapfetch.com for a quote.
