Pricing and limits
Prices
Section titled “Prices”| What | Price |
|---|---|
| Browser time | $0.012 an hour, billed per minute, one minute at least |
| Residential proxy traffic | $3 a GB, both directions, only for a managed exit |
| No proxy, or your own proxy | Free |

A browser is charged from its start until it stops: when you stop it, when its timeout runs out, or when the balance
runs out. Each session shows what it cost (browserCost, proxyCost)
in the API, in History and on
Browser usage.
Paying: prepaid credits
Section titled “Paying: prepaid credits”Datum is prepaid. There is no subscription and nothing is billed after the fact.
- $1 free when you sign up: your first organization starts with $1 of credit, once per person. It never expires.
- Credits pay for everything after it. Add them on Billing: $100, $500, $1,000 or any amount from $5. The first purchase goes through Stripe’s checkout and saves your card; later ones charge that card directly. Credits never expire.
- Auto recharge adds credits when the balance falls below an amount you choose (“when it falls below $10, add $50”), so browsers never stop mid-task. It needs a saved card.
- Every purchase has an invoice, with its PDF, on Billing. Stripe’s portal there changes the card, the billing address and the tax ID.
Credits pay for all of Datum’s paid usage, not just BrowserReal. When the balance is spent, running browsers stop and
new ones are refused with 402 balance_exhausted, until credits are added (or auto recharge adds them).
Live browsers at once
Section titled “Live browsers at once”How many browsers an organization can run at the same time depends on what it has paid in total, ever. Reaching a tier is permanent.
| Tier | Paid in total | Browsers at once |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | $0 | 10 |
| 1 | $100 | 50 |
| 2 | $1,000 | 250 |
| 3 | $5,000 | 500 |
| 4 | $25,000 | 1,000 |
A create over the limit answers 429 too_many_sessions; wait for a browser to stop, or stop one. Billing shows your
tier and what the next one takes.
