A Firecrawl alternative that charges $0.001 per page — not per month
If your agent reads pages one at a time, a monthly plan charges you for the pages you never fetch. ScriptMasterLabs URL-to-Markdown charges for the page in front of it: $0.001 USDC per page, paid per accepted call over x402. No account. No API key. No subscription.

ScriptMasterLabs URL-to-Markdown costs $0.001 USDC per page.
Payment is USDC on the Base network, settled per accepted call over x402.
No account and no API key are required. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum.
Firecrawl's entry paid tier (Hobby) is $19 per month.
A payment challenge is a quote, not a charge: you pay only when the call is accepted, and the response carries verifiable payment evidence.

Firecrawl is a scrape-and-crawl platform sold as a monthly plan with an account and an API key, priced for sustained crawl volume. ScriptMasterLabs fits the other shape of work: an agent that needs one page read, mid-task, and should pay for that page only.
Questions
What does ScriptMasterLabs charge to read one page?
$0.001 USDC per page, paid per accepted call over x402 on Base. No account, no API key, no subscription.
How is that different from Firecrawl's pricing?
Firecrawl's entry paid tier is $19 per month whether the agent reads one page or thousands. ScriptMasterLabs charges only for accepted calls, so one page costs $0.001 and a thousand pages cost $1.00.
Does my agent need an account or API key?
No. The agent calls the endpoint, receives a 402 price challenge, pays in USDC on Base, and the call completes with verifiable payment evidence.
