Frequently asked questions
How do credits work?
Each paid plan starts each month with its full included credit allowance. Purchased top-up credits carry over until consumed. Optional auto-recharge keeps jobs running without surprise overages.
When should I choose cloud instead of self-hosting?
Choose cloud when you want immediate access, hosted scaling, and minimal operational ownership. Choose self-hosting when cost control, privacy, or infra ownership matters more.
Is self-hosting really free?
Yes. CRW is AGPL-3.0 licensed. Deploy on your own servers with unlimited requests and zero license cost. You only pay for your own infrastructure.
What happens when I run out of credits?
API requests return a 429 status code. You can buy a top-up pack instantly from the billing dashboard or enable auto-recharge to avoid interruptions.
When does launch pricing end?
Launch pricing ends June 1, 2026. If you subscribe before that date, your current rate is locked for 12 months after launch ends. No surprise price jumps.
