Pay only for what you get back.
No subscription required to use any of our 48 scrapers. Pick the path that fits how you build: direct Apify access if you wire calls yourself, or our MCP server if your agent should pick the right one.
Pay-per-result on Apify
Run any scraper directly from Apify Console, the API, or the apify-client SDK. You're billed for each result the scraper returns — never for failed runs, never for compute time. From $0.001/result. No subscription, no minimum.
- Per-result billing — you don't pay for empty pages or 404s
- Tiered discounts up to 55% off (FREE → GOLD)
- 100 free credits on signup, no card required
- Schedule, webhook, and stream straight from Apify
One MCP server, all 48 scrapers
Add https://mcp.thirdwatch.dev/mcp to Claude or Cursor. Your agent calls 14 high-level tools (search jobs, verify a company, track a price); we route to the right scraper underneath. Billed in credits, packs below.
- 14 high-level tools instead of 48 raw actors
- Agent picks the right scraper — no integration glue
- Credits never expire
- Free 100 credits with every Thirdwatch account

Common questions
Do I need a subscription?
No. Both options work on the FREE tier. Subscriptions only kick in if you want a higher discount multiplier (Apify path) or want a larger credit pack (MCP path).
What counts as a 'result'?
Whatever the scraper considers one structured item — a job listing, a product, a review, a property. You're billed once per item that lands in your dataset, never for empty runs.
How is the MCP path different?
The MCP server wraps our 48 scrapers behind 14 high-level tools (search_jobs, verify_business, etc.). Your agent describes intent in natural language; we pick and chain the right scrapers. Costs more per result but removes all integration glue.
Can I switch between paths?
Yes. Same Thirdwatch account works for both. Use the API directly when you want fine control; switch your agent to the MCP when you want hands-off intent routing.
Is there a free trial?
100 credits land in every new account. That's roughly 30 real searches via the MCP, or 100+ scraper results at the cheap end of the catalog.
