### How Credits Work

Usage credits are applied to metered Steel usage, including browser hours, proxy bandwidth,
CAPTCHA solves, and Browser Tools usage.

Launch includes $30 in one-time free usage credits, valid for 90 days. Scale includes $100 in
free usage credits each month. Usage beyond included credits is billed at your plan's listed
rates.

Enterprise pricing, usage credits, and limits are customized for your workload.

You can monitor usage by meter in the dashboard, including session time, proxy bandwidth,
CAPTCHA solves, and remaining balance. You can also top up credits or enable auto top-up so
a run does not stop because the workspace runs out of balance.

### Verify your Launch account with a $10 deposit
To use CAPTCHA solving or Steel-provided proxies on Launch, verify your account by adding
$10 in paid balance. Free credits do not count. The deposit goes toward usage, not an extra
fee. Scale includes anti-bot; Enterprise is custom.

### Usage Examples

If you spent your included credits on a single usage category, you would get roughly:

#### Launch

*   300 browser hours
*   3GB proxy bandwidth
*   10,000 CAPTCHA solves
*   6,000 Browser Tools calls

#### Scale

*   1,250 browser hours
*   16.7GB proxy bandwidth
*   100,000 CAPTCHA solves
*   20,000 Browser Tools calls

\* In practice, most workloads use a mix of browser hours, proxies, CAPTCHA solves, and
Browser Tools calls.

**_Enterprise plans offer custom pricing, limits, and infrastructure for high-volume or
specialized workloads._**
