How much does each Firecrawl plan cost?
Firecrawl sells monthly credit allowances. Every endpoint draws on the same balance, so 1,000 credits buy 1,000 scraped pages or 500 searches of 10 results. Prices below come from the Firecrawl pricing page. Prices checked November 10, 2026.
Yearly billing saves 16.7% on Hobby, Standard and Growth and 20% on Scale. Enterprise has custom credits, limits and pricing. Rate limits shown are for scrape, map and search. Crawl limits are lower: 2 a minute on Free up to 2,000 a minute on Scale.

How many credits does each Firecrawl feature use?
The base rate is 1 credit per page. Options that run a language model on the page add 4 credits each, and the extras stack. A page scraped with JSON format and PII redaction costs 9 credits. Crawl and search use the same per-page options for every page they scrape.
| Feature | Credits | Billing unit |
|---|---|---|
| Scrape | 1 | Per page |
| Crawl | 1 per page crawled | Per page, billed as each page finishes |
| Map | 1 | Per call |
| Search | 2 | Per 10 results, rounded up |
| PDF parsing | 1 extra | Per PDF page |
| JSON format | 4 extra | Per page, on top of the scrape |
| Prompt injection check | 4 extra, or 5 if the scrape fails | Per page |
| Interact browser session | 2 to 7 | Per browser minute, 1 minute minimum |
| Agent (preview) | 5 free runs a day, then usage based | Per run |
What does Firecrawl cost at 1,000 and 100,000 pages a month?
The cheapest plan depends on volume. At low volume the Free plan costs nothing. In the middle, Hobby plus pay-as-you-go beats Standard until about 21,000 pages. At 100,000 pages and up, the big plans cost under $0.001 a page. The table assumes basic scrapes at 1 credit per page, billed monthly.
Options such as JSON format or PDF parsing add credits per page, so these figures are a floor. Prices checked November 10, 2026.
| Basic pages a month | Cheapest Firecrawl option | Monthly cost | Cost per page |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | Free plan | $0 | Nothing |
| 20,000 | Hobby plus 15,000 pay-as-you-go credits | $94 | About $0.0047 |
| 100,000 | Standard plan | $99 | $0.00099 |
| 1,000,000 | Scale plan | $749 | $0.00075 |
What are the catches in Firecrawl pricing?
The plan price is only part of the bill. Check these terms on the pricing page and the billing docs before you commit.
- Plan credits reset every month. Only annual Scale plans roll unused credits over, for 1 month.
- Pay-as-you-go needs a paid plan and adds credits in $5 steps. $5 buys 1,000 credits on Hobby, 2,000 on Standard, 2,500 on Growth and 5,000 on Scale. On Hobby that is $0.005 a credit.
- Credits you buy stay until used, but they expire if you cancel your subscription.
- A page that returns an error status such as 403 or 404 still costs 1 credit. A scrape that returns no document is free.
- Upgrades charge the full new plan price at once, with no proration, and reset your billing date.
- On the Free plan, requests stop with HTTP 402 when the 1,000 credits run out.
What does Locus Pro add for Firecrawl calls?
Locus Pro offers Firecrawl as per-call endpoints. Your agent pays from one prepaid credit balance that covers every provider, with no Firecrawl account, key or plan, and credits you buy do not expire.
Scrape, crawl, batch scrape and extract are priced per request, so the cost moves with the options you send. Set max_credits on a call to cap its price. Crawl and batch status checks are separate calls on Locus, and each one is charged.
Speed is the main limit. Paid Firecrawl plans allow 100 to 10,000 scrapes a minute. Locus Pro allows 5 tool calls a minute on Free, 15 on Plus, 240 on Enterprise and 1,200 on Enterprise Plus. A large crawl job that needs high concurrency belongs on a Firecrawl plan.
On Enterprise, you can bill your own customers for the pages their agents scrape.
| Locus endpoint | What it does | Price type |
|---|---|---|
| Scrape, one URL | Reads one page | Priced per request |
| Scrape v2, optional JSON | Reads one page, with optional JSON output | Set by options |
| Search | Searches the web | Fixed price |
| Map | Lists the URLs on a site | Fixed price |
| Crawl | Crawls a site and scrapes each page | Set by the crawl request |
| Extract | Pulls structured data from pages | Priced per request |

Frequently asked questions
Does Firecrawl charge for failed scrapes?
Only when it returns a document. A page that comes back with a 403 or 404 status costs 1 credit. A scrape where the site never responds and no document returns costs nothing.
How many searches does the Firecrawl free plan cover?
About 500. The Free plan gives 1,000 credits a month, and each search of 10 results costs 2 credits. Searches and scrapes share the same balance.
Is Firecrawl pay-as-you-go available on the free plan?
No. Pay-as-you-go needs a paid plan. On Free, requests return HTTP 402 once the monthly credits run out, until the next reset.
Can an agent use Firecrawl without its own Firecrawl account?
Yes, through Locus Pro. The agent calls Firecrawl scrape, search, map and crawl from a prepaid Locus balance. To set it up, tell the agent: Install Locus Pro by following https://paywithlocus.com/SKILL.md.
