Pricing
Credits & Tiers
Scout bills each API call in credits: a fixed base cost per endpoint, plus named extras only when you opt into options or longer timeouts.
Predictable base pricing
Base cost first — add-ons only when you opt in
Every Scout endpoint has a fixed base cost. Additional credits apply only to selected options (for example full-page capture or HAR), larger workloads, or execution timeouts beyond the included runtime. Estimate with POST /v1/estimate, cap a call with billing.maxCredits, and review the billing breakdown on every response — including reserved vs refunded credits after settle. Pay-as-you-go overage can use a euro spend limit so you are never surprised.
- → Base screenshot: 8 credits (viewport)
- → Full-page: +2 · HAR: +2
- → Runtime settles to actual duration (≤ reserved timeout)
- → API errors & unused crawl pages: full / partial refund
Plans
Pick a credit budget and see what it actually buys.
Plan credits are your recurring monthly budget. Packs sit on top, do not expire, and PAYG only starts after prepaid credits run out.

Endpoint costs without guesswork
Cost follows the output. A screenshot costs more than an extract; a journey costs more than a single assert call.

Credit packs
Extra credits without changing plan
Packs are prepaid top-ups. They sit on top of the plan wallet and roll over across periods.

Pay as you go
Overage only if you turn it on
With PAYG off, Scout returns 402 CREDITS_EXHAUSTED when prepaid credits run out.
With PAYG on, further usage is billed as overage. Rate limits stay separate.
Use this for monitoring, agent runs, or journeys that should not stop mid-flow.
Understand credits, then top up the wallet
Use GET /v1/usage for exact consumption. Manage tiers, packs, and PAYG in the Scout console.
