How Crawl Credits Work - and How to Estimate Your Usage

How do crawl credits work?

Jumpple Crawler uses credits to measure crawl volume. One crawled URL uses one credit. A site with 1,200 pages that you crawl once needs about 1,200 credits, and crawling it again uses another 1,200.

What each plan includes

Plans differ in projects, credits and export options. Check the pricing page for the current details.

• Free: 1 project and 300 crawl credits.
• Starter: 10 projects and 50,000 crawl credits per month, with saved crawls and basic PDF export.
• Custom: you choose the number of projects and the credit volume.
• Lifetime: a one-time plan with unlimited projects and credits, offered for a limited time.

Estimate before you crawl

Start from the number of indexable pages you expect, add any parameter or pagination URLs that will be reachable and multiply by how often you crawl. A monthly crawl of a 5,000 page site uses about 5,000 credits per month.

Spend credits where they matter

A crawl limit and include or exclude rules keep credits for the pages you care about.

• Set a maximum number of URLs for exploratory crawls.
• Exclude internal search results, calendar pages and filter combinations.
• Crawl a section of the site instead of the whole site when you are checking one release.

Check your usage

The dashboard shows credits used, and the crawl status endpoint returns credits used for each crawl. If a crawl used more than you expected, look at the URL list for parameter pages that you can exclude next time.
