Pricing

One rate for everything.

You buy credits up front and spend them on results. Get fewer than you asked for and you pay less. Get none and you pay nothing. Credits never expire, and there is no monthly minimum.

1 credit = $0.0005, and one credit is one result off a list. Paid with PayPal. Larger amounts than the tiers above can be bought from the billing page, up to $5,000 at a time.

Enterprise

Volume pricing from 1,000,000 results a month

Agree a rate against what you actually run. As low as $0.36 per thousand, with reserved capacity and 24/7 support.

  • Your own rate

    One agreed rate for every endpoint, written into the contract.

  • Reserved capacity

    Higher concurrency and rate limits, held for your account.

  • 24/7 support

    A named contact and a response time in writing.

Not a sales process

Tell us your monthly volume and what you need in the contract. One reply, within one business day.

Below that volume the published rate is already cheaper. No minimums, no seat fees, every endpoint included.

Rate card

One rate. Everything on it.

Every result costs 1 credit — $0.50 per thousand. A comment, a follower, a post in a feed, a profile, a single post fetched by id: the same price for all of them. Nothing changes it — not the platform, not the endpoint, not the month.

What counts as one result Notes
A comment or reply The highest-volume thing we sell.
A follower, story or highlight One row each, off a list.
A post, reel or video in a feed Sized by the limit you send.
A hashtag, place or search result Sized by the limit you send.
A profile, channel or company One page load, one answer.
One post, reel or video, by id Fetched on its own rather than off a feed.

A new platform or endpoint lands on this rate the day it ships. There is never a second one to look up.

Included

Everything, on every credit

There is one version of the API, so nothing is held back for a bigger plan. An agreement can change your rate, your capacity and your support — never what you are allowed to call.

  • Every endpoint on every platform we cover
  • Parsed, typed results — not pages to scrape twice
  • Deduplicated lists for comment runs
  • The same field names on every platform
  • The playground, for running real calls by hand
  • As many API keys as you want
  • A full credit ledger, per run
  • Public docs, no sales call to read them
  • No charge for a run that returns nothing

Guides

  • The cheapest TikTok API (2026)

    TikTok has a free official route for approved researchers and none for everyone else. Where the rest of the market prices, and the sums for three real jobs.

  • The cheapest YouTube API (2026)

    YouTube is the one platform here with a real official API, and it is free. The honest question is where its quota stops and what it costs after that.

  • The cheapest Instagram API (2026)

    The cheapest provider changes with the job you are running. Three real jobs, three different answers, and the arithmetic for each.

Questions

Before you ask

Anything else, the docs spell out exactly what a run costs and when it is charged.

What is a credit worth?
$0.0005 — 2,000 credits to the dollar. One credit buys one result off a list, so a thousand credits is a thousand rows.
Does a profile cost more than a comment?
No. Everything is the same price. It used to cost double, on the argument that a run coming back with one object is the same work as one coming back with four hundred rows — which is true, and was not worth a rate card people had to read twice.
What happens if a run comes back short?
You pay for what arrived. We hold the most the run could cost when it starts, then settle it down to what actually came back. The difference goes straight back to your balance.
What happens if a run returns nothing?
It costs nothing. The whole reservation is released and no charge is written to the ledger.
Do credits expire?
No. There is no expiry date, no monthly reset and no use-it-or-lose-it allowance.
Is there a subscription, a seat fee or a minimum?
None of the three. You buy credits when you want them and spend them when you want to. The smallest top-up is $5.
Is there an enterprise plan?
Yes, and it is the one thing here you cannot buy without talking to us: a rate agreed against your volume, capacity reserved for you, and support around the clock. Worth asking about from around 1,000,000 results a month. Below that the published rate is already cheaper.
What does 24/7 support cover?
A named contact and a response time written into your agreement, at any hour rather than office ones. Every account already gets the docs, the playground and the full ledger without asking anybody — an agreement adds a person on the other end.
How do I pay?
PayPal. You are sent to PayPal to approve the amount and brought straight back, and the credits land the moment the payment is captured.
