Usage rates

Every metered resource debits credits (1 credit = $0.001) as you use it. Rates vary by plan where noted.

Browser runtime

Billed for the wall-clock time a runtime is running, per second, with a 1-minute minimum.

Proxies

Managed rotating proxy - billed by bandwidth used:

Managed static pool - a reserved IP from a pool:

Bringing your own proxy has no BCTRL bandwidth charge - you pay your provider directly.

CAPTCHA

Charged once per solve that returns a provider token. Failed solves are free.

AI tokens

AI usage from hosted agents and tools passes through at the provider’s reported cost, with no markup. When a provider does not report a cost, BCTRL applies these fallback rates:

Bringing your own AI provider key means those tokens are billed to your provider account, not metered as BCTRL credits.

Tracking usage

Read current usage from the CLI or SDK. The org-level call returns the whole account; the subaccount call breaks it down per subaccount:

$
bctrl usage --json
$
bctrl subaccount usage --json

1
const usage = await bctrl.usage.get();
2
const perSubaccount = await bctrl.subaccounts.usage.list();
