How does this skill help reduce FireCrawl costs?

It provides specific implementation patterns for request batching, data sampling, and caching strategies to minimize redundant API calls and maximize throughput.

Can it help me choose the right FireCrawl plan?

Yes, it includes a cost estimation function that compares your monthly request volume against current pricing tiers to recommend the most cost-effective plan.

When should I use request sampling?

Sampling is recommended for non-critical telemetry or background data collection where 100% data coverage isn't required for your application's core functionality.

Does this skill support automated budget alerts?

The skill provides the logic and code templates necessary to track usage against a defined budget and trigger warnings when thresholds are reached.
