Standard
- Get 20,000 credits
- 2 Parallel Lanes ? What are Parallel Lanes? A lane is one request running now. This plan has 2 lanes, so 2 requests can run at the same time. When one finishes, that lane is ready again.
- ≈2,400 throughput per hour ? How is throughput estimated? Throughput (RPM) = Lanes × (60s / 3s avg. latency). At 3s average latency, 1 lane ≈ 20 RPM ≈ 1,200 requests/hour.
- Real-time results
- Fast response time
- Email technical support
Credits valid for 6 months
Starter
- Get 132,000 credits
- 5 Parallel Lanes ? What are Parallel Lanes? A lane is one request running now. This plan has 5 lanes, so 5 requests can run at the same time. When one finishes, that lane is ready again.
- ≈6,000 throughput per hour ? How is throughput estimated? Throughput (RPM) = Lanes × (60s / 3s avg. latency). At 3s average latency, 1 lane ≈ 20 RPM ≈ 1,200 requests/hour.
- Real-time results
- Faster response priority
- Email technical support
- Eligible for Lane Stacking ? What is Lane Stacking? Add another eligible plan and your lanes add up in one account. More lanes mean more requests can run at the same time. 1× $99 = 5 Lanes 2× $99 = 10 Lanes $99 + $597 = 42 Lanes
Credits valid for 6 months

Parallel Lanes and Lane Stacking add concurrency when jobs queue — no rebuild required.
No Rate Limits: Parallel Lanes — Scale Without Hourly Caps
Start on our shared cluster for testing and early production. When you need more concurrent requests, stack eligible plans for more lanes — or move to a Dedicated Cluster Node to skip the queue entirely.
How concurrency maps to throughput
A quick way to size the right plan for agents, batch jobs, and queued workloads — before you scale up.
1 lane = 1 live request
Estimated hourly throughput ≈ lanes × 3600 ÷ average request seconds
If a request averages 3 seconds, 1 lane ≈ 1,200 requests/hour and 5 lanes ≈ 6,000 requests/hour.
