How many credits does the Compare Analytics API cost?

Billing is 1 credit per successfully resolved URL (minimum 1). Failed or empty results are never charged.

No. A single Captapi key works across every platform Captapi supports — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Rumble, Spotify, Kwai, and more. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and authentication for you.
