A common complaint about scraping platforms is that the bill is hard to predict: credits per actor, compute units, plan tiers, and pricing pages that change often. With FastAF each route has one fixed price per call, so the budget is a multiplication. See [fastaf.co](/).

## The formula

`cost = number_of_calls × route_price`

Route

Price per call

1,000 calls

10,000 calls

`serp` (Google)

$0.003

$3

$30

`amazon`

$0.003

$3

$30

`scrape`

$0.005

$5

$50

`youtube`

$0.005

$5

$50

`shopping`

$0.01

$10

$100

`linkedin` (profiles)

$0.06

$60

$600

Prices from the FastAF x402 routes, `GET https://api.fastaf.co/x402/v1/<name>`. Check the live 402 quote before a big run.

## Worked example

Track 200 keywords on Google daily for 30 days: 200 × 30 = 6,000 `serp` calls × $0.003 = **$18**.

## Cap it in code

```
const PRICE = { serp: 0.003, scrape: 0.005, shopping: 0.01 };
let spent = 0; const CAP = 20;
function canCall(route: keyof typeof PRICE) {
  if (spent + PRICE[route] > CAP) return false;
  spent += PRICE[route]; return true;
}
```

*   No account needed with x402; with an account you get 500 free credits every month after email verification.
*   The MCP endpoint (`https://api.fastaf.co/mcp`) uses an API key, not x402.
