Top-up packs
Buy credits any time from the developer page. Top-up credits never expire and are spent after your monthly allowance runs out.
| Pack | Price |
|---|---|
| 4,000 credits | $12 |
| 10,000 credits - a full monthly refill, most popular | $25 |
| 25,000 credits (+25% bonus) | $50 |
| 60,000 credits (+50% bonus) | $100 |
Auto-refill
Opt in to auto-refill and Frontrun automatically adds 10,000 credits whenever your balance drops below 1,000 - so long-running agents never stall on a 402. Configure (or pick a different pack) from the developer page. If a refill payment fails, auto-refill is disabled and you're notified.
Which plan should I pick?
"I just want to try it" → Starter. The 7-day free trial covers the full web app - no API.
"I'm using this for real" → Pro. 10,000 credits/mo covers ~2,500 basic, ~625 signal, or ~166 deep-dive calls - plus the full web app, 250 tracked accounts, and MCP access. No trial; API unlocks immediately.
"I need high volume or guarantees" → Enterprise. Custom rate limits, dedicated support.

How billing works
- Subscribe or buy a pack - Pro includes 10,000 credits/month; packs top up any account
- Monthly credits applied first - Subscribers spend their monthly allowance before top-up balance
- Monthly credits expire - Unused monthly credits reset each billing period
- Top-up never expires - Credits you buy stay in your balance indefinitely
- Track spend - Every charged response includes
cost_creditsandbalance_credits - Out of credits - A
402response means insufficient credits; top up or enable auto-refill
