Arcade tools are divided into 2 categories: Standard and Pro. While all tools have some cost for Arcade to run, Pro tools are significantly more costly - either due to infrastructure costs, the complexity of the tool, or a cost imposed by the provider of the tool. Pro tools cost more to execute and have different limits.

#### Standard Tool Executions
180+
181+
Standard tools are the default tier and cover the majority of Arcade's catalog. Each invocation of a Standard tool counts as one Standard Tool Execution against your plan's monthly allowance, with any overage billed per execution at the rate listed on the [pricing page](https://www.arcade.dev/pricing). Provider and infrastructure costs for Standard tools are absorbed by Arcade as part of the platform fee.
182+
183+
#### Pro Tool Executions
184+
185+
Pro tools incur materially higher operational cost than Standard tools due to underlying infrastructure (e.g., compute-intensive sandboxes), provider-imposed fees (e.g., per-call API charges from data providers), or tool complexity. Each invocation of a Pro tool counts as one Pro Tool Execution against your plan's monthly Pro allowance, with any overage billed per execution at the Pro rate listed on the [pricing page](https://www.arcade.dev/pricing). Arcade may reclassify tools between Standard and Pro from time to time as the underlying cost structure of a tool changes; any such reclassification applies prospectively.
186+
187+
As of 04/24, Pro tools include: E2B, Firecrawl, Google Finance, Google Flights, Google Hotels, Google Jobs, Google Maps, Google News, Google Search, Google Shopping, Imgflip, Walmart, and YouTube.

### Bring Your Own Credentials (BYOC)

Bring Your Own Credentials (BYOC) is a feature that allows you to use your own credentials to certain pro tools. This changes the cost of the tool execution, as you will be charged directly by the provider of the tool, rather than relying on Arcade to pay the bill for you.

Bring Your Own Credentials (BYOC) is a feature that allows you to use your own credentials to access Pro tools. This changes the cost of the tool execution, as you will be charged directly by the provider of the tool, rather than relying on Arcade to pay the bill for you. In exchange, the tool execution will be billed at the Standard rate. As of 04/26/2026, most credentials required for Pro tools are API Keys specific to the service being accessed.
