Context.dev

How much does Context.dev cost in the UK?

Context.dev is free for up to 1,000 credits a month, and paid plans run from $19 to $499 a month in US dollars. Prices are only shown in dollars, so a UK card is charged in dollars and your bank may add a foreign transaction fee. The pricing page doesn't mention VAT.

The Developer plan gives 7,500 credits for $19, Pro 125,000 for $99, Growth 500,000 for $299 and Scale 1 million for $499. Paying yearly brings those down to $16, $83, $249 and $416 a month, which Context.dev describes as two months free. Enterprise starts above 2 million credits a month at a custom price. Paid plans can top up automatically in blocks of 1,000 credits, from $2.20 a block on Developer down to $1.00 on Scale.

How do Context.dev credits work?

A standard scrape costs one credit whatever formats you ask for, and JavaScript rendering, anti-bot handling and proxies are included in that price. Some calls cost more:

• Browser actions raise a scrape to 2 credits
• Extracting JSON against your schema adds 4 credits, so 5 a page
• Brand and Styleguide lookups cost 10 credits each
• Answers costs 10 credits in Fast mode or 100 in Ultra mode
• Web and news search cost 1 credit per 10 results, and people enrichment 20 per match

Most failed requests aren't billed, but a 404 is charged at the base price. When credits run out and no top-up is available, the API refuses further calls until the next month.

Is Context.dev worth paying for?

For developers who want scraping, crawling and company data from a single key, the reviews so far are positive. Context.dev scores 4.9 out of 5 from 18 reviews on Product Hunt, where people praise its speed, reliability and the brand enrichment endpoints that save writing logo and favicon scrapers.

The review base is small and the product is young: it was renamed from Brand.dev in 2026 and launched widely that summer. Reviewers have asked for better colour detection in brand data and clearer handling of sites that change their robots.txt or terms. The free tier is enough to test it on real pages before paying.

Context.dev vs Firecrawl: which is better?

Both turn web pages into Markdown or JSON for AI tools, and their prices are almost the same: both have a free tier of 1,000 credits a month, and both charge $19 and $99 a month for their first two paid plans. Firecrawl's $19 plan includes 5,000 credits against Context.dev's 7,500, while Firecrawl's $99 plan includes 100,000 against 125,000.

The difference is in what else comes with the key. Context.dev adds company and brand lookups (logos, colours, fonts, socials, addresses), people enrichment, company news search, file parsing and change monitors. Firecrawl has an open-source version that can be self-hosted, which Context.dev doesn't offer. Anyone who only needs page scraping can choose on price and the output quality on their own target sites.

Is Context.dev safe to use for company data?

Context Dev Inc. is a Delaware company, and its public trust centre lists SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 compliance and status page. Its published list of sub-processors places account data, billing and analytics with US providers such as Google Cloud, Stripe and PostHog, so UK teams with data residency rules should note that account data sits in the US.

A 99.9% uptime agreement, SSO with SCIM, and a signed MSA or DPA are only offered on Enterprise. Context.dev is hosted only, with no self-hosted edition.

How do you get Context.dev cheaper?

Yearly billing is the easiest saving, cutting each paid plan by about a sixth. Picking the cheapest plan that covers your volume also matters: the pricing page suggests Developer up to about 50,000 pages a month with top-ups, and Pro from there to 250,000.
