Pricing
What's free, what's charged, and how to preview a cost before you run it.
Per-operation credit costs. Pricing is resolved from a single internal source of truth, so every method's cost stays consistent across the CLI, API, and this site. See Pricing Tables for the full per-provider/method breakdown.
Pricing model. 1 credit ≈ $0.10 (reference managed rate). BYOK = free — you pay the provider directly, zero Hyreflow cost. Volume discounts apply at 1,000+ credits.
How pricing works
Each method is priced on its own: what the call costs Hyreflow, marked up to a 50% margin floor and rounded up to the nearest 0.1 credit. Paid methods run from 0.05 credit to 13.9 credits, and a cheaper provider is a cheaper call — the waterfalls try the low-cost providers first. Read a method's exact price from its cost block in the tool registry rather than memorising a number.
| Billing mode | What you pay |
|---|---|
| paid | 0.05–13.9 credits, charged per result returned, per request, or per page — each method states which |
| free | 0 credits — account, catalog, ping and masked-preview calls |
| byok | 0 credits — add your own vendor key and the call runs on your account |
| metered | provider-metered, no fixed per-action price |
| argument-priced | more for more: revealing a mobile costs more than an email. credits_max is the worst case |
What that means per call
- FREE: catalog/
autocomplete/check-creditsandlist_*reads, previews (--dry-run), and every sequencer and ATS/CRM write — those run on your own connected vendor account and never cost Hyreflow credits. - CHARGED: the data reveals — people/company search that returns records (e.g.
people_search,company_search, charged per result), email/phone finds, person/company enrichment, web scrape, job/technographic/funding signals. - BYOK-only:
apify,apollo,atlas,builtwith,fathom,granola,heyreach,instantly,lemlist,loxo,recruit_crm,recruiterflow,sendkit,shovels,smartlead,spott,zoominfoare not resold on managed credits — connect your own account. - Waterfalls stop at the first hit → you pay one provider, not all of them. They are ordered cheap → expensive.

Metered, verify before bulk
- Priced from the request:
exasearch, contents and answer calls are charged for the request the provider accepted — the card price covers the base request, and asking for more (results beyond the first 10, extra content types, a deeper search type, more pages) costs proportionally more. Anexaagent run is charged when it completes, at what the completed run came to; a run that fails or is cancelled costs nothing. - Runtime / usage-based:
firecrawl extract,hyreflow_agentLLM calls. - Native (Hyreflow credit, no subscription/BYOK):
hyreflow_nativejob scrapers — free to launch, charged 0.05 credits per job delivered (pay-on-match). - Free public:
github,clinicaltrials.
Always --dry-run an unfamiliar method to see its resolved cost before a bulk run. See
