The math
Most users stay on the free tier. Here's what usage looks like at different scales.
| Generations/month | Monthly cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | $0 | Well within free tier |
| 500 | $0 | Full free tier used |
| 750 | $12.50 | 500 free + 250 x $0.05 |
| 1,000 | $25.00 | 500 free + 500 x $0.05 |
| 2,000 | $75.00 | 500 free + 1,500 x $0.05 |
Cached tool executions are always $0 — unlimited, no matter how many times you run them.
How it works
Point Ghost at any website and it creates fully typed MCP tools — forms, navigation, data extraction — automatically.
Every account gets 500 free AI generations per month. No credit card required. The counter resets on the 1st of each month.
Need more than 500? Each additional generation is just 5 cents. Usage-based billing via Stripe — pay only for what you use.
Once a tool is generated, it's cached. Re-running cached tools costs nothing and executes in ~0.03ms. Most sites are instant after the first visit.

FAQ
A generation happens when Ghost uses AI to create new MCP tools for a website. This includes the initial generation for a new site and re-generations when a site's structure changes. Executing cached tools does not count as a generation — only the AI-powered creation step does.
You'll never pay a cent. Cached tool executions are always free, no matter how many times you run them. If your workflow only touches sites that Ghost has already generated tools for, your bill will be $0 every month.
Billing is usage-based via Stripe. Your first 500 generations each month are free. After that, each generation costs $0.05. You're charged monthly for any generations beyond the free tier. No subscriptions, no commitments — just pay for what you use.
No. Once generated, tools stay cached indefinitely. If a website changes its structure, Ghost will self-heal and re-generate the tools automatically — that re-generation counts toward your monthly usage.
You can set a monthly spending limit in your account settings. Once you hit the cap, Ghost will stop generating new tools until the next billing cycle. Cached tools continue to work as always.
Competitors like Firecrawl and Bright Data charge per request — every single time you fetch data. Ghost only charges when AI creates new tools. After that, execution is free and runs in 0.03ms. For most workflows, Ghost is 10-1000x cheaper.
