Frequently asked questions
What does the monthly fee pay for?
Usage. Each month's fee is added to your balance in full, so $19 on Starter is $19 of requests. Requests draw down that balance at your plan's rates, and whatever you don't use rolls over.
Which requests am I charged for?
A request is billed when String gets the site's response back to you, whatever status the site sent. A 404 from the site is billed because it is the site's real answer. Blocked requests and errors on our side are free. Two exceptions are billed: a request with custom headers that the site blocks, and a request to a site with an invalid certificate.
What happens when my credit runs out?
The API stops serving requests until you add credit. Turn on auto top-up in the portal and your balance refills automatically at your plan's rates, so a production job never stalls.
When do I pay premium rates?
Only when a site blocks the standard proxy. String moves that request to a premium proxy and bills it at the premium rate. Sites that work on standard stay on standard.
Do credits expire? What if I cancel?
No. The $5 free credit never expires, and paid credit rolls over month to month. If you cancel, your remaining balance stays usable until you spend it.
Do I need a card for the free credit?
No. Sign up and you get $5 of credit to use on any endpoint, and it never expires. Add a card when you pick a plan.
Is there a concurrency limit?
Every plan runs up to 10,000 fetches and 5,000 browser sessions in parallel. Throughput is governed by your plan's request rate.
What does Enterprise include?
A custom rate card and request rate sized to your volume, priority support and incident resolution, and a DPA with security review. Agreements start at $2,500 a month. Tell us what you're running and we'll scope it.
