Questions people ask
Does SocialCrawl charge a monthly subscription?
No, it uses one-time credit packs instead of a subscription. You buy credits, spend them on API calls, and top up only when you want to; the only optional recurring charge is auto-recharge, which you can turn on or off yourself.
Do SocialCrawl credits expire?
The material states that credits never expire, whether from the free tier or a paid pack.
Can I try SocialCrawl before paying?
Yes, there is a free tier with 100 one-time credits and no credit card required.
How much does an API call cost?
A standard API call costs 1 credit, while heavier or composite endpoints (like Prism, batch, and async web jobs) cost more, with exact figures listed on the endpoint pricing page.
Do I pay for failed or empty results?
No, if a page of results comes back empty its credits are refunded, so you only pay for data you actually get.
