# Firecrawl Credit and Spend Control
## Overview
Optimize against measured business value rather than assumed one-credit requests. Endpoint and option costs differ, modifiers can stack, and crawl or batch charges arrive as pages complete.
## Prerequisites
- The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome.
- The source authorization, data classification, and environment policy.
- Current Firecrawl documentation, credentials only when needed, and an owner for approvals.
## Current Contract
Use the current billing page and Credit Usage APIs as the pricing authority. Base scrape/crawl page costs, search/result charges, JSON or other format modifiers, ZDR, parse behavior, Interact minutes, and lockdown outcomes can differ. Polling status does not itself consume credits, while asynchronous page processing can make usage appear later.
