Fractions of a dollar per title.

Cached knowledge is inexpensive. New provider research costs more only when Cascacore actually performs it.

1–2 credits$0.002–$0.004

Cached identity, metadata, collection, search, or marker work.

25 credits$0.05

A standard provider-backed lookup when the catalog needs something new.

50 credits$0.10

Deep or multi-provider enrichment and an explicitly forced refresh.

1 credit$0.002

One protected artwork download that the application stores locally.

What never costs credits

Authentication, balance checks, health endpoints, documentation, rejected validation, internal failures, and idempotent retries. A protected artwork download costs one credit and must be cached locally.

Provider-backed misses are charged only when external provider work was actually performed.

*Average-library cost is an estimate for a typical personal collection using a mix of cached matches and provider enrichment. Library size, obscure titles, and forced refreshes can change the total. You pay only for completed billable work.
