# Pricing

> How BCTRL billing works - credits, plans, and usage rates.

BCTRL meters every billable resource in **credits**, where one credit is **\$0.001**. Your plan grants a monthly allowance, and browser time, proxy bandwidth, CAPTCHA solves, and AI tokens draw it down at the [rates below](#usage-rates).

## How billing works

### Your plan grants monthly credits

Each cycle starts with a credit stipend: \$5 / \$20 / \$100 for Free / Developer / Business. Credits are the only currency for usage.

### Usage draws down credits

Browser time, proxy bandwidth, CAPTCHA solves, and AI tokens debit credits at the rates below. AI tokens pass through at provider cost.

### Top up or auto-reload

Developer and Business can buy credits anytime, or set auto-reload to top up automatically when the balance drops below a threshold. See [Credits & top-ups](/pricing/credits). Free hard-stops when its monthly credits run out.

Your effective balance is monthly credits plus purchased credits, minus any outstanding debt. New billable work is blocked once it reaches zero.

## Usage rates

| Resource                | Free / Developer      | Business              |
| ----------------------- | --------------------- | --------------------- |
| Browser runtime         | \$0.09 / hour         | \$0.07 / hour         |
| Managed proxy bandwidth | \$10 / GB             | \$8 / GB              |
| CAPTCHA solve           | \$0.003 / solve       | \$0.003 / solve       |
| AI tokens               | provider pass-through | provider pass-through |

Browser time is billed per second, with a 1-minute minimum. See [Usage rates](/pricing/usage-rates) for the full reference, including static proxy pools and AI fallback rates.

## FAQ

A credit is \$0.001 of usage. Plans grant credits monthly; metered usage spends them. Customers see dollar amounts, but the underlying unit is credits.
Browser runtime hours, managed proxy bandwidth, CAPTCHA solves, and AI tokens. AI tokens are billed at the provider's cost.
New runtimes wait until a slot frees up. Limits are 1 / 5 / 20 concurrent browsers on Free / Developer / Business.

Your plan sets a retention window for run history - events, activity, and recordings: 7 days on Free, 14 on Developer, 30 on Business. Run data ages out after that.
Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated for the rest of the cycle. Downgrades take effect at your next renewal.
