Subscription Model
When you subscribe to a plan, you receive a fixed balance per subscription cycle (monthly, 3 months, 6 months, yearly) to use on your requests. The amount you spend will vary depending on which features and products you use. For example, the $299 Business plan provides you $299 to spend during the subscription cycle. Each request has a specific cost, which will be deducted from your plan’s balance accordingly.Products Pricing Details

Choosing the Right Plan for Your Needs
To determine the best plan, consider how much scraping you need and the complexity of your target websites.Universal Scraper API
Some web pages are harder to scrape than others, and you only pay for the level of technology that you need. Formula to Estimate Your Needs Consequently, if you’re on the Business plan with a $299.99 monthly budget, you can scrape up to 3,000,000 basic URLs ($0.10 CPM) or 120,000 protected URLs ($2.50 CPM). Formula to Estimate Cost Based on Volume This means that scraping 50,000 protected URLs would cost $125.Scraper APIs
Our dedicated APIs are fast, efficient, and flexible. They provide exactly what you need without any extra features that increase costs. Formula to Estimate Your Needs If you’re on the monthly Business plan, you can make approximately 315,789 requests during your billing cycle. Formula to Estimate Cost Based on Volume Scraping 200,000 requests on the Business plan would cost you $190.Scraping Browser
Bandwidth consumption varies from site to site and is influenced by elements such as page size and the scripts running on them. We recommend testing your target website in advance to estimate usage better. Formula to Estimate Cost Using 20 GB and 100 hours on the Business plan would cost $109.Residential Proxies
Each website has different bandwidth needs based on factors like page size and script configurations. We recommend testing your target website in advance to better estimate usage. As a result, scraping 30 GB while on the Business plan would cost $150.Managing Your Subscription
