ScrapingBee

flat multipliers, cheapest entry plan, and 404s count as wins

$19.99 / month on Hobby#small-teams-who-want-a-p#a-cheap-way-in

the cheapest entry plan here with multipliers simple enough to do in your head — as long as your targets never push you onto the 75-credit stealth tier.

ScrapingBee's credit table is four numbers and you can hold all of them at once: a plain request is one credit, javascript rendering is five and is the default, premium proxy is ten without rendering or twenty-five with, and stealth proxy is seventy-five. at $19.99 for 75,000 credits that puts a thousand rendered pages at about $1.33, second cheapest among vendors that can answer the question, on the cheapest entry plan in the ranking.

twenty-five concurrent requests on that entry plan is five times what Firecrawl or Scrapfly allow at their entry tiers, and there are 1,000 free credits to test with, no card required.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

the cheapest entry plan here with multipliers simple enough to do in your head — as long as your targets never push you onto the 75-credit stealth tier.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
