URL-to-Markdown Pricing, Quoted Plainly: $0.001 per Read vs Credit Plans
Every URL-to-Markdown comparison talks about features. Almost none of them put the price in a sentence you can quote. This one does. ScriptMasterLabs' URL-to-Markdown costs $0.001 per read, settled over x402. That's the whole pricing model: a flat 0.001 USDC per accepted read on Base mainnet. No API key, no account, no subscription, no monthly minimum. An agent hits the route, gets a 402 Payment…
URL-to-Markdown pricing is a flat $0.001 per read, charged on a pay-as-you-go basis with no subscription or credit plans required. ScriptMasterLabs offers this simple pricing model, which can be audited on their x402scan. The cost for 100 reads is $0.10, and 100,000 reads would cost $100 for the month. On the other hand, Firecrawl has a Standard plan priced at $83 per month for 100,000 credits, with each credit equaling one page.
The actual cost per page varies based on page size. Jina Reader also uses a token-based system, with costs dependent on page heaviness. JavaScript, screenshots, structured extraction, and whole-site crawls are more suited for Firecrawl jobs, while Jina Reader is ideal for flexible fetch and render options on known URLs.
