## Pay-as-you-go

Keep scraping when your credits run out. Pay-as-you-go charges a fixed per-credit rate without changing your plan, up to a monthly spending cap you set. Pay-as-you-go is available on Scaling, Professional, Advanced, and Enterprise. Pay-as-you-go is not available on Free, Hobby, Startup, or Business.

## Auto-upgrade

Opt-in to auto-upgrade and your account moves to the next plan when you run out of credits, so scraping doesn't pause. Auto-upgrade is available on Hobby, Startup, Business, Scaling, and Professional plans. Advanced is the highest self-serve plan, so it doesn't support auto-upgrade. On Hobby, Startup, and Business, when auto-upgrade is not enabled, scraping will pause until credits renew.

## Billing FAQ

**Is ScraperAPI free?** Yes. Start with a 7-day trial and 5,000 API credits, no credit card required. When the trial ends, you can move to the free plan with 1,000 credits a month and 5 concurrent threads. When you need more, choose Hobby, Startup, Business, Scaling, Professional, Advanced, or contact sales for a custom plan.

**How many credits does each request cost?** A standard page costs 1 credit. E-commerce sites (Amazon, Walmart, eBay) cost 5, Google and Bing cost 25, and LinkedIn costs 30. Bypassing bot protection, JS rendering, and premium proxies each add credits. See the credit costs table above. Every response shows its cost in the `sa-credit-cost` header, and you can check any URL's cost before scraping with the Domain Cost Estimator in your dashboard. Set `max_cost` per scrape to keep any single request within your limit.

**Does ScraperAPI charge for failed requests?** No. You're only charged for successful responses (200 and 404), and for requests you cancel after 70 seconds.

**What happens if I run out of credits?** It depends on your plan:

- **Hobby, Startup, and Business:** can opt in to auto-upgrade to move to the next plan. Without it, your scraping pauses until your credits renew.
- **Scaling and Professional:** can opt in to pay-as-you-go, or auto-upgrade to move to the next plan. Without opting in, scraping pauses until credits renew.
- **Advanced and Enterprise:** can opt in to pay-as-you-go. Without opting in, scraping pauses until credits renew.

**What's the difference between pay-as-you-go and upgrading?** Upgrading moves you to a higher plan with a larger monthly allowance, usually at a better price per credit. Pay-as-you-go lets you keep scraping past your limit at a fixed per-credit rate without changing plans, up to a monthly cap you set.

**Do credits roll over to the next month?** No. Your credit balance resets when your subscription renews. You can move up or down a plan anytime from the billing page.

**What happens if I exceed my concurrent threads?** You'll get a 429 response. Bring your concurrency back within your plan's limit and try again. There's no extra charge.

**How can I check my usage?** Track your request volume and concurrency in your dashboard.

**Can I cancel anytime?** Yes. Cancel from your dashboard or by contacting support. There's no cancellation fee.

**How do I change my card details?** Update them anytime in your dashboard, or contact support.
