Generate unlimited MCP tools locally for $0. Add team collaboration and cloud execution when your agent needs to run in production.
Competitors charge for the basic thing — getting data. We charge for the hard thing — running tools at scale, across teams, 24/7.
The math
Competitors scrape from scratch on every request — proxy negotiation, anti-bot bypass, HTML parsing, LLM reasoning. Ghost Cloud just executes a cached tool.
| 100K requests/month | Cost | Avg latency |
|---|---|---|
| Bright Data | $5,000-10,000+ | 5-15 seconds |
| Firecrawl | $500-5,000 | 3-8 seconds |
| Apify | $199-499 + compute | 30-120 seconds |
| Skyvern | $2,000-10,000 (LLM) | 30-120 seconds |
| Ghost Cloud | $149 | 0.03ms (cached) |
Ghost Cloud: $49 base + 100K x $0.001 = $149/mo. Competitors rebuild from scratch every request. Ghost executes cached tools.

FAQ
Yes. Ghost is MIT-licensed open source. Generate unlimited MCP tools locally, cache them, use them forever. No usage caps, no trial period, no credit card. The free tier isn't a gateway — it's the full product.
Teams lets your entire org share tools. When one developer generates a tool from a site, everyone on the team can use it — without visiting the site themselves. Plus usage analytics, role-based access, and approval workflows.
Local Ghost requires your browser to be open. Ghost Cloud runs your tools 24/7 — in CI/CD pipelines, on scheduled cron jobs, triggered by webhooks. Generate locally for free, deploy to the cloud when you need uptime.
$49/mo base includes your first 10,000 executions. After that, $0.001 per execution. For context: competitors charge $0.01-1.00 per request. Ghost Cloud is 10-1000x cheaper because tools are pre-generated — we're just executing cached selectors, not scraping from scratch.
The Enterprise plan includes an on-prem deployment option. Run Ghost Cloud on your own infrastructure with your own browser fleet. Same APIs, your servers.
Those services charge per request for the basic thing — getting data from a website. Ghost gives that away free. Teams and Cloud charge for things those services can't do: shared tool libraries, cached 0.03ms execution, and one-click API deployment of pre-built tools.
