Token tax only - the Firecrawl tariff (free 1,000 pages, then Hobby $16/mo) is billed separately.
Verdict. An honest trial at 1,000 pages, but the token tax dwarfs the tariff: 19,255 schema tokens (the ~6,000 community estimate was 3x too low) is ~$115/mo on Sonnet before a single page is scraped. Trim unused tools. The affiliate link on this page is direct directory revenue - marked, and it never affects the numbers.
