Questions, answered
Is this guide free?
Yes. You sign up with your email once and get this guide plus every other guide in the library.
Is Scout really free?
Scout itself is open source under Apache-2.0. In a browser on your own computer, Outcrawl bills nothing. You pay your model provider for the model calls, or nothing if the model runs on your machine. Outcrawl's cloud browser is optional and has 1,000 free credits a month.
Do I need to write code?
A little: one short task file. The agent prompt in this guide lets Claude Code or Codex write and run it for you, so you only describe the task.
