ScrapeOwl

scrapeowl.com / subscription

Cheap, simple and quietly stale. $29 buys 250,000 credits and the multiplier ladder is the market-standard 1 plain, 5 rendered, 10 premium, 25 premium and rendered, which makes a residential rendered page $2.90 per 1,000 on the entry plan against $0.116 for a plain one - the same 25x spread the big sellers charge, on a much smaller price list. The catch is where that ladder is written: the pricing page never mentions it, so a buyer sizing a plan from the pricing page alone will be out by up to 25x, and the FAQ does not mention it either. Two other things a buyer should know. ScrapeOwl sells no anti-bot or stealth tier and never claims to beat Cloudflare, so premium residential IPs are as hard as it goes, and it never states that failed requests are free - the docs only mark 200 and 404 as billed and expose an is_billed field, which is not the same promise. The Startup and Business plans advertise a "Guaranteed SLA" with no published uptime target behind it, and the company blog has not been updated since June 2022, though sign-up and the dashboard are live today.

List prices, dollars per 1,000 Plain pages at the cheapest published route to each volume. How this is worked out

Every published plan

Plan Price Included credits Overage each Note
Bootstrap $29.00 per month 250,000 not published 250k credits, 10 threads, "Best Effort SLA", "Basic support (response within 24 hours)". No overage rate is published on any tier.
Startup $99.00 per month 1,000,000 not published 1M credits, 25 threads, "Guaranteed SLA", "Priority Support (response within 8 hours including weekends)". The SLA is named but its uptime target is never stated.
Business $249 per month 3,000,000 not published 3M credits, 50 threads, "Guaranteed SLA", priority support.
More threads or credits on request - not published The pricing page's only route above Business, verbatim: "You Need more threads or credits? Email us". No public price and no named plan.

From the docs' "API Request Cost Calculation" table, verbatim: "A request using rotating proxies without render_js 1 credit", "A request using rotating proxies with render_js 5 credits", "A request using premium proxies without render_js 10 credits", "A request using premium proxies with render_js 25 credits". Premium is the residential tier - the docs describe premium proxies as using "residential IP addresses so they evade detection as data center addresses" - and country targeting is bundled into it at no extra credit. None of this appears on the pricing page, which prints only credits, threads and support. Anti-bot is null because ScrapeOwl sells no anti-bot, stealth or unblocker tier at all and never claims to get past Cloudflare or DataDome; premium proxies are the top of the ladder. Markdown is null for the same reason: no markdown or output-format parameter exists.
