Firecrawl uses subscription-based monthly plans. We do not offer a pure pay-as-you-go model, but our auto-recharge feature provides flexible scaling—once you subscribe to a plan, you can automatically purchase additional credits when you dip below a threshold, with better rates on larger auto-recharge packs. For testing before committing to a larger plan, start with the Free or Hobby tier.Plan downgrades are scheduled to take effect at the next renewal, and unused-time credits are not issued.
Concurrent browsers represent how many web pages Firecrawl can process for you at the same time.
Your plan determines how many of these jobs can run simultaneously - if you exceed this limit,
additional jobs will wait in a queue until resources become available.
Rate limits are measured in requests per minute and are primarily in place to prevent abuse. When configured correctly, your real bottleneck will be concurrent browsers.
These rate limits are enforced to ensure fair usage and availability of the API for all users. If you require higher limits, please contact us at help@firecrawl.com to discuss custom plans.
