Predictable, per-action pricing.
Every verb and every enricher has a fixed credit cost. No surprise overage charges — when the wallet hits zero, we stop.
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| scrape (one URL) | 1 |
| scrape with screenshot | 2 |
| crawl | 1 per page |
| map | 1 per 1,000 URLs returned |
| extract (LLM structured) | 5 per URL |
| search | 5 + 1 per scraped result |
| Enricher (Family 1–4) | 1 per row |
| linkedin_enrich (premium, v1.5) | 12 per row |
Scrape 500 product pages: 500 credits — a quarter of a Starter month.
Map a 50,000-URL e-commerce site: 50 credits. Pocket change on any plan.
Extract 200 company profiles into a JSON schema: 1,000 credits — comfortably inside a Starter month.
Crawl a 2,000-page docs site for a RAG corpus: 2,000 credits — fits in Starter, frees up Pro for everything else.
The short version.
| Feature | Stekpad | Firecrawl |
|---|---|---|
| Price for 1 scrape | 1 credit (≈ €0.0024 on Pro) | 1 credit (≈ $0.003) |
| Storage included | Persistent dataset | By value only |
| AI builds the scraper | Yes, 30s from URL | No, you write selectors |
Pricing questions, answered.
Do I have to subscribe to try Stekpad?
No. The Free plan gives you 300 credits every month without a card. Upgrade to Starter, Pro, or Scale only when you hit the limit.
Do credits expire?
Subscription credits reset at the start of each billing cycle. Unused credits from the previous month do not carry over.
What happens if I run out of credits mid-crawl?
The crawl pauses with an insufficient_credits error. Top up by upgrading your plan, then resume from the dashboard with the same run_id. Already-scraped pages are not re-charged.
Can I cancel or downgrade at any time?
Yes. Cancel or downgrade in your billing settings — changes apply at the next billing cycle. We do not clawback credits you have already spent.
Is there a discount for open source / education / non-profits?
Yes, contact us with a one-line description. We typically grant the Pro plan free for 12 months to non-profits and open-source maintainers.
How does Stekpad pricing compare to Firecrawl?
A Stekpad scrape is 1 credit, same as Firecrawl. The difference is the AI agent that builds the scraper for you, the persistent dataset storage, and the hosted 24/7 run loop. See /vs/firecrawl for the full table.
