How billing works
Page reading and screenshot capture are billed only for an uncached successful capture.
- The same 1-credit rate applies to a page fetch and a standalone screenshot.
- The server returns cached captures at no credit cost.
- A failed capture is refunded.
Price in practice
A page fetch may include text extraction and can optionally produce a screenshot; both are covered by the published capture operation rather than separate hidden fees.
Cache availability affects price, so a repeat request should not be assumed to cost another credit.
