Standard
- Get 20,000 credits
- 2 Parallel Lanes ? What are Parallel Lanes? Lanes = how many requests run at the same time. This plan has 2 lanes, so 2 requests execute in parallel. No hourly caps — when one finishes, the lane is instantly free for the next.
- Real-time results
- Fast response time
- Email technical support
- Lane Stacking
Credits valid for 6 months
Starter
- Get 132,000 credits
- 3 Parallel Lanes ? What are Parallel Lanes? Lanes = how many requests run at the same time. This plan has 3 lanes, so 3 requests execute in parallel. No hourly caps — when one finishes, the lane is instantly free for the next.
- Real-time results
- Faster response priority
- Email technical support
- Lane Stacking ? What is Lane Stacking? Buy more than one plan and their lanes add up. More lanes = more searches running at once = faster data collection. 1× $99 = 3 Lanes 2× $99 = 6 Lanes $99 + $597 = 25 Lanes
Credits valid for 6 months

Understanding Parallel Lanes
Throughput is defined by concurrency, not hourly limits. With Lane Stacking, you can combine multiple plans to increase your total parallel lanes and dramatically boost throughput.
Calculation Formula:
Throughput (RPM) = Total Stacked Lanes × (60s / ~2.5s avg. latency) Example (Lane Stacking): Buy 1x $99 (3 Lanes) + 1x $597 (22 Lanes) = 25 Total Lanes → 25 × 24 = ~600 RPM (36,000/hour).

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a "Parallel Lane"?
Think of a Parallel Lane as a Digital Worker. If you have 3 Lanes, you have 3 workers fetching web data for your AI at the exact same second. More lanes mean you can process thousands of URLs in a fraction of the time, without waiting in a queue.
Can I get more parallel lanes? What is Lane Stacking?
Yes! If you need a bigger team of "digital workers," you can use Lane Stacking. Just buy multiple plans (excluding the $18 tier) and we will combine their lanes!
- 1x $99 = 3 Lanes
- 2x $99 = 6 Lanes (Double the speed!)
- 1x $99 + 1x $597 = 25 Lanes
How does credit consumption work when I stack plans (FIFO)?
When you have multiple active orders, credits are consumed using a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) rule: the oldest order is used up first. Once an order's credits are depleted or expire, its associated lanes are immediately detached from your total concurrency. You are responsible for monitoring your balance and topping up before lanes drop.
How are credits consumed?
Standard Google/Bing Search: 1 credit per request. Reader API: 2 credits (standard mode). Premium add-ons like Proxy Pool, Document Parsing, and CAPTCHA Solving consume additional credits. See the "Detailed Credit Consumption Rules" table for a full breakdown. Tip: Always try standard mode first to minimize costs.
What is the Reader API Proxy Pool?
The Reader API offers a multi-tier Proxy Pool for overcoming access restrictions. Set proxy: 1 (Shared, +2 credits), proxy: 2 (Datacenter, +5 credits), or proxy: 3 (Residential, +10 credits). Start with standard mode and escalate only when needed to optimize costs. See documentation for details.
Do credits expire?
Credits are valid for 6 months. You can use them whenever you need.
What payment methods are supported?
We support Stripe for credit card payments. Enterprise customers can contact us for invoice payments.
Can I get a refund?
We offer a 7-day refund window from the date of purchase, provided that less than 10% of the purchased credits have been used. All API activity across your account — including usage through stacked Parallel Lanes — counts toward the threshold. A small processing fee applies. See our Terms of Service §4.3 for full details.
