  FinOps view of Scrapybara spend. Scrapybara bills a monthly plan subscription
  (Free / Basic / Pro / Enterprise) that bundles compute hours, agent credits,
  and concurrent instances. The two primary consumption meters are compute hours
  (time an instance is running) and agent credits (one per agent step); extra
  agent credits are billed per credit, or customers can bring their own model
  provider API key to avoid credit consumption.
notes: >-
  Plan allotments and per-credit rates are subject to change; verify against the
  Scrapybara pricing page during reconciliation.
