We know that scraping is complex, and so is pricing. To properly reflect the effort it takes to scrape each site and make it easier for you to grow and scale, our pricing model is based on API credits. This also allows us to bring everything we have to bear on keeping Success Rates as high as possible and opens up all our features to you, rather than restricting them based on your plan.

Depending on the type of website you want to scrape and what parameters you need to use for a request, a different number of API Credits will be used for a single request.
