How to apply
- 1
Check eligibility: under $10M raised, fewer than 50 people, founded less than 5 years ago. YC companies use firecrawl.dev/yc instead.
- 2
Submit the form on firecrawl.dev/startups. If the form fails, email support@firecrawl.dev.
- 3
Join the Slack Connect channel Firecrawl invites you to. The team sets up the deal there.
- 4
Be on, or switch to, an annual plan, because the bonus credits only apply to annual plans.
Gotchas
- Annual plans only. There's no bonus on monthly billing or the free tier.
- Extra credits are capped at $2.5K a month and $30K a year, which limits the bonus on very large plans.
- It multiplies credits you pay for. It is not standalone free credit.
- YC companies get a bigger multiplier on the separate YC page, so they shouldn't use the general form.
About the Firecrawl program
Firecrawl's startup deal doubles your annual plan's monthly credits for a full year. For example, the Standard plan gets 200,000 credits a month instead of 100,000. You also get a Slack Connect channel with the Firecrawl team and some swag. The deal applies to annual plans only, including existing customers. Extra credits are capped at $2.5K a month and $30K a year. Firecrawl is a web search, scrape and crawl API for feeding web data to AI applications. Credits are shared across endpoints: 1 credit per basic page scrape, and 2 credits per 10 search results.
A startup is eligible if it has raised under $10M, has fewer than 50 people and was founded less than 5 years ago. Y Combinator companies get a separate, larger deal: 5× monthly credits for the current batch and 2.5× for alumni. The YC deal also runs a full year on annual plans, with the same $2.5K/month and $30K/year cap on extra credits.
This is a bonus on a paid plan, not free credits on their own. Annual pricing on the pricing page is $16/month for Hobby (5,000 credits), $83/month for Standard (100,000), $333/month for Growth (500,000) and $599/month for Scale (1,000,000). After you submit the form, Firecrawl invites you to a Slack Connect channel and sets up the deal there.
