Crustdata Watcher API pricing

On Watcher, fresh data is the expensive part

Crustdata prices every watcher by its SLA: how fresh the data behind a notification is. The default is 30 days. A new person costs 0.5 credits at that level and 150 on the 1-day SLA, 300 times as much. A new company goes from 2 credits to 150, and a changed person from 5 to 150.

SpecStream reads the live web when the run happens, so there is one level of freshness and one rate. A new match costs 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a row whether the request runs every hour or one time a year.

What a month of watching costs

Take a saved search that finds 40 new companies in a month. On Crustdata that is 80 credits on the 30-day SLA and 6,000 credits on the 1-day SLA. A list of 2,000 people where 100 change jobs costs 500 credits at 30 days and 15,000 at 1 day. The dollar price of a credit depends on your pack and your plan.

On SpecStream the same 40 new matches cost $2 at 5¢ a row, and a run that finds nothing costs nothing. A refresh of rows you own charges half the rate for a row that changed and 1¢ for a row that did not. You set a maximum per run and per period when you create the schedule.

Watch any record the web states

A Crustdata watch reads four datasets: people, companies, jobs and social posts. A SpecStream request is written in plain words, so the same schedule watches a new tender, a product launch, a price or a filing, and each match arrives as a row with the facts you asked for.

For records we already hold, a ready list with a feed sends the rows its source adds each week. On Nov 10, 2026 the catalog held 38,142 lists in 9 families, 1,695 of them with a feed. They are on the lists page, and funding rounds, layoffs and new executives are on the signals page.

The most accurate web search API

The SpecStream Search API scores 97.9 F-score on all 1,000 official SimpleQA Verified questions, 978 of them correct, and 64.0 item F1 and 43.4 row F1 on all 200 official WideSearch tasks. Every score and its method are on the benchmarks page.

SpecStream

The live web data engine for teams and agents. A saved request reruns hourly to yearly and sends only new and changed records, each value with its source URL and read time, to a signed webhook, Slack or a connected tool. New matches cost 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a row, and new accounts get $10 of credit, no card.

TheirStack webhooks

Sends new jobs and new companies from its own job and technology data to a webhook. An event uses 1 API credit for job.new or job.closed and 3 for company.new or tech.new, and monitoring pauses when credits run out. SpecStream watches any record on the live web and bills each new match in dollars.

Parallel Monitor API

Reruns a query on a frequency such as 1h, 1d or 1w and sends new events by webhook, at $3 per 1,000 executions on lite and $10 on base. Each execution counts as one check. SpecStream charges for the matches it delivers, and a run that finds nothing costs nothing.

Firecrawl /monitor

Runs search queries on a schedule, every 5 minutes at the shortest. Every check costs 2 credits per 10 results, plus 1 credit per result judged, and Standard sells 100,000 credits for $99 a month. SpecStream sends each new match as a row with the facts you asked for, from 5¢.

Exa Monitors

Runs an Exa search on a recurring schedule and sends the results to a webhook, at $2 per 1,000 requests of up to 10 results and $1 per 1,000 results above 10. SpecStream sends each new match as a row, with a source URL and read time on every value.
