Start small. Scrape at scale.

Bandwidth measures the data retrieved from websites. Credits pay for search and structured extraction. Retrieving pages uses bandwidth, search uses credits, and structured extraction uses both.

Monthly plans include separate allowances for each. Once the relevant allowance runs out, your dollar balance covers additional usage at your plan’s rates.

Requests vary in size. Fetching a short article transfers much less data than retrieving a large page. Bandwidth pricing reflects that difference, so smaller pages cost less instead of every request carrying the same price.

The endpoint and options you choose also affect the charge.

Each endpoint applies a factor to those bytes as part of the charge. A scrape that asks for clean_markdown and gets a successful clean adds 3× on top of its endpoint factor, so a cleaned Markdown scrape is billed at 4.5× the bytes fetched.

Pay As You Go has no monthly fee. Add funds and pay for what you use. Monthly plans include bandwidth and credits each billing period, plus lower usage rates as you move up.

Add $10, $25, $50, $100 or $500 to your dollar balance. The same balance covers bandwidth and credits after the relevant included allowance runs out, at your current plan’s rates.

Your added funds never expire. Changing or cancelling your plan does not reduce or freeze your remaining dollar balance.

Yes. Unused included bandwidth rolls over without a cap while you keep your plan or upgrade.

Downgrading or cancelling freezes eligible higher-tier rollover. Return to the same tier or higher within 90 days to restore it; otherwise, it expires. Included credits reset each billing period and do not roll over.

These rules apply to monthly allowances—not the dollars you add.

If your available allowance and funds cannot cover a request, it is rejected. Add funds or change your plan to continue.

At zero balance, a single request returns HTTP 402. There is no automatic overage; continuing requires a top-up. Bulk jobs pause, and monitor checks are skipped until balance is restored.

You can enable auto-top-up in your billing settings, choosing when it triggers, how much it adds, and a monthly spending cap.

Yes. A scrape or fetch served from cache gets a 50% discount on the bandwidth charge. Choose your cache window, or request fresh content. The discount applies to scrape and fetch cache hits.

Yes, from your billing settings. Upgrade charges are adjusted for the remaining billing period. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period.

A cancellation scheduled for period end keeps your plan active until then. Your added dollar balance remains available; monthly allowances follow the rollover rules above.

A failed request is not always free. For example, if ByteKit retrieves a page but structured extraction fails, the page’s bandwidth charge can remain while the extraction credits are refunded.

ByteKit handles retrieval and browser fallback, but successful access is not guaranteed. Use it for public pages you are authorized to access. Access restrictions and ourAcceptable Use Policy still apply.

Concurrency limits how many captures—such as scrapes, fetches and screenshots—can run at once. Rate limit controls how many new requests you can send per second. Consider both when choosing a plan.
