Credits and billing
Understand how credits work, what they cost, and how to purchase more.
How credits work
Scrappy uses a credit-based system for operations. Every scraping job, email validation, cloud browser session and AI operation costs credits.
Credit costs
| Operation | Cost |
|---|---|
| Scraping job | 10 credits |
| Email validation | 1 credit per email |
| Cloud browser session | 5 credits to start, then 1 credit per minute |
| AI source discovery | 5 credits |
| Markdown export | 5 credits |
| AI chat | 1 credit per 1,000 tokens |
| Model comparison and response regeneration | 1 credit per 1,000 tokens |
| Source refinement | 5 credits |
| Location expansion | 1 credit to parse, 5 credits per location |
| Competitive intel | 5 credits (10 for deep analysis) |
| AI lead cleanup | 1 credit per 20 leads |
| AI lead matching | 1 credit per lead (3 for pro matching) |
| Deck analysis | 5 credits |
| Campaign from brief | 25 credits |
AI chat is metered on actual usage, so a short question costs a fraction of a long research session. You need a small balance on hand to start a message; whatever the turn actually uses is charged when it finishes.

Insufficient credits
If you don't have enough credits for an operation:
- The operation will be blocked
- You'll see an "Insufficient credits" error
- Purchase more credits to continue
Credit refunds
If a job fails due to a system error, credits are automatically refunded. Credits are not refunded for:
- User-cancelled jobs
- Jobs that complete but find no leads
- Invalid source configurations
Bulk operations
For bulk email validation, credits are calculated based on the number of emails. If you don't have enough credits:
- The operation validates as many emails as possible
- Remaining emails are skipped
- You're notified of the partial completion
