Scout meters usage in credits. Plans have a fixed, published number of credits, never “unlimited.”
Plans

|---|
| Free | $0 | 5,000 one-time | Public free tier, the acquisition hook. |
| Beta | $0 | 10,000 / 30 days | Existing beta cohort allowance. |
| Monthly | $12/mo | 50,000 / month | The hero plan. Resets each billing cycle, hard-stops at the cap. |
| Pay-go packs | 10/25 / $100 | 10,000 / 30,000 / 150,000 | One-time, never expire. Secondary to Monthly. |

Checking your balance
curl "$SCOUT_HOSTED_BASE_URL/v1/hosted/me" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SCOUT_HOSTED_API_KEY"
balance.standard_credits_remaining, balance.browser_credits_remaining, and your plan’s limits (max pages per run, and so on). See Account for the full usage and purchase history endpoints.
Standard actions (scrape, crawl page, map URL, product record, destination push) draw from the same standard-credit pool. Screenshots and browser-rendered work draw from a separate browser-credit pool.
