A page costs what it took to read.

The unit of everything. A plain fetch is one credit, a fetch with a site’s session two, a real Chrome four, a residential address sixteen (with a megabyte included, then four more per started megabyte), a solved widget twenty-two, a rented unblocker forty. The response to every request says the mode each page was read in and what it cost.

A page the site refused, whatever the ladder spent finding out. A 404 or 410. A page served from your cache. A copy carried forward when the sitemap says the page has not changed. Change detection, sitemaps, link-graph reports, destinations, exports and webhooks, on every plan.

Three ways. The plan caps the tier; a project may ask for a lower tier than its plan allows; and maxCredits on any request caps one page. A page that needs more than you allow is not charged and comes back TIER_LIMIT with the rung that would have read it. What your workspace has left caps it too: a page only a dearer engine could read comes back BUDGET_EXHAUSTED, also at zero.

Runs stop and say so; nothing is read on credit. The free 1,000 are a one-time allowance and do not renew — for more, move to a paid plan. On a paid plan there are two ways past the allowance: buy credits ($5 a pack — 15,000 on Starter and Growth, 25,000 on Scale — drawn after the allowance and never expiring), and on Growth and Scale automatic overage at $0.30 or $0.20 per thousand, billed with the next renewal, up to a cap you set on Billing (twice the allowance by default). Scale also carries a month’s unused credits into the next.

Yes — twelve months for the price of ten. Credits still arrive monthly.

Through Razorpay, in USD or, for a customer in India, in INR — Starter ₹2,499, Growth ₹8,499, Scale ₹29,999 a month, plus 18% GST added at checkout. Cards, and for INR also UPI and net banking. MeshArc never sees your card; Checkout does. Every payment gets a numbered tax invoice on Billing — CGST and SGST for a customer in Madhya Pradesh, IGST for the rest of India, zero-rated as an export for a customer abroad — with your GSTIN on it when you give it under Billing. The supplier is Discover Webtech Private Limited, Indore.

Any time, from Billing. An upgrade is applied at once — the difference for the rest of the cycle is charged and the month’s credits adjusted the same way. A downgrade takes effect when the cycle ends and can be called off until then. Cancelling ends the plan at the cycle end; the workspace goes to the free plan and keeps its projects and data.

No, by design. Structured extraction and embeddings run on your own model key; MeshArc charges one credit per thousand tokens for the pipeline and you pay your provider for the tokens. Nothing is marked up.
