* Browser hours are billed by the minute, rounded up.

Each plan's cost goes towards your credits within the platform. For example, if you're on the Developer Plan, every time your subscription renews, you will have $99 worth of credits to use within the platform.

Different plans offer different rates for actions within Steel, with each plan progressively getting more efficient (bigger plans = more bang for your buck).

Pay-as-You-Go Overages

All paid plans (Starter, Developer, Pro) include pay-as-you-go overages to prevent workflow interruptions:

Overage Limit: Use up to 3x your monthly credit allocation
Billing: Overages are billed at your plan's rates at the end of each billing cycle
No Interruption: Continue building without upgrade pressure or hitting hard limits

Example: On the Starter Plan ($29), you can use up to $87 worth of services in a month. Your first $29 is covered by your subscription, and any usage from $29-$87 is billed as overages at Starter rates.

Credit Equivalents by Plan

Here's roughly* what you'd get if you spent all of your base credits on a given service:

Hobby Plan ($10 free credits)

100 browser hours

Starter Plan ($29 in credits)

290 browser hours
2.9GB proxy bandwidth
7,250 captcha solves

Developer Plan ($99 in credits)

1,238 browser hours
12 GB proxy bandwidth
28k captcha solves

Pro Plan ($499 in credits)

9,980 browser hours
166 GB proxy bandwidth
166k captcha solves

* We say roughly because in practice you couldn't spend all your credits on one thing other than browser hours, since you need to be in a session to use proxies or captcha solves.

Enterprise plans offer even further cost efficiency with an annual commitment.
