pricing-tracker

A procedure for finding and standardizing pricing tiers from software, API, cloud, or AI vendor pricing pages. It organizes different billing units, such as seats, requests, tokens, or calls, into a consistent format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract a vendor’s plans, compare prices across vendors, or monitor pricing changes over time. It is not intended for ordinary online-shop products.
Why use it?
Pricing pages use different names, layouts, and billing units, making direct comparisons difficult.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pricing-tracker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Pricing Tracker

Extract pricing tiers from a vendor's pricing page and normalize them into a consistent shape. Optimized for SaaS, API, cloud, LLM, and CDN pricing pages — all of which share similar structure but inconsistent naming.

When to use

  • User provides a pricing URL: "get pricing from https://openai.com/api/pricing"
  • User names a vendor: "what does Vercel cost?", "get Anthropic API pricing"
  • User wants to compare prices across vendors (delegate per-vendor extraction to this skill, then aggregate)
  • User wants to monitor pricing on a schedule (combine with exportSkill: true to generate a standalone workflow)

Do NOT use for e-commerce SKU pricing — use e-commerce instead.

Strategy

  1. Find the pricing URL.

    • If the user provided one, use it.
    • Otherwise search "<vendor> pricing" and take the top result from the vendor's own domain.
  2. Scrape with only-main-content. Pricing pages are heavy on nav and testimonials that waste context.

  3. Identify the unit. Every pricing page has one of these shapes — pick the right one:

    • Per seat — SaaS (Notion, Linear, Vercel)
    • Per request / token / call — API and LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic)
    • Per GB / TB — storage, bandwidth, CDN
    • Per minute / hour — compute (Modal, Replicate)
    • Flat monthly — simple SaaS tiers
    • Usage-based with tiers — cloud (AWS, GCP)
  4. Extract every tier. Include Free and Enterprise even when their price is $0 or "Contact sales" — users care about those as much as the paid tiers.

  5. Flag the gotchas.

    • Annual vs monthly pricing (often a 20% discount buried on annual)
    • Overage rates past the included quota
    • Seat minimums ("Team plan starts at 5 seats")
    • Features gated to higher tiers
    • "Free tier" that requires a credit card
  6. Call formatOutput once with the full pricing object.

Quick start

// Single vendor
await agent.run({
  prompt: 'Get OpenAI API pricing for every model',
  urls: ['https://openai.com/api/pricing'],
  skills: ['pricing-tracker'],
  format: 'json',
})

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

pricing-tracker is a skill published in the GitHub repository firecrawl/web-agent (1,223 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 1,179 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
