ScraperAPI
The plain page is cheap and everything else is a tenfold step: 1 credit flat, 10 for a browser, 10 for the residential pool, 30 for the ultra premium anti-bot tier and 75 for anti-bot plus a browser. At the $49 Hobby plan's 100,000 credits that is $0.49 per 1,000 plain pages and $14.70 per 1,000 through ultra premium with rendering. Markdown is the bargain here: output_format sits on the no-extra-cost list, so LLM-ready Markdown costs the same single credit as raw HTML. Two things to watch. The first four tiers hard-cap with no overflow, and the pay-as-you-go the top tiers advertise has no published dollars-per-credit rate. And the domain you fetch reprices the call on its own: Google or Bing is 25 credits before any parameter, LinkedIn 30, and a page behind Cloudflare or DataDome 10, so the flat rate describes a quiet site only. Billing is on 200 and 404 only, plus requests you cancel after 70 seconds. Left null: the operating company's country and any published latency or success-rate figure.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | $49.00 per month | 100,000 | hard cap | $44.10/month billed annually. 20 concurrent threads, geotargeting US and EU only, full crawler access, Ultra Premium included. No pay-as-you-go on this tier, so the plan stops at 100,000 credits. |
| Startup | $149 per month | 1,000,000 | hard cap | $134.10/month billed annually. 50 concurrent threads, geotargeting US and EU only. No pay-as-you-go. |

Credits-and-costs doc: a "Normal (flat)" request is 1 credit, and the parameter table prints the cost of each mode as "Extra Cost: premium=true - 10 API Credits/req, render=true - 10 API Credits/req, screenshot=true - 10, ultra_premium=true - 30, premium=true + render=true - 25, ultra_premium=true + render=true - 75". Those are totals, not additions on top of the 1: the DataPipeline credit matrix, which the docs say "now match our standard scraping rates", prints the same Normal column as 1 flat, 10 JS rendering, 10 premium, 20 premium + JS, 30 ultra_premium, 75 ultra_premium + JS. The one disagreement between the two pages is premium + JS, 25 on the parameter list and 20 in the matrix. premium=true is the residential and mobile pool, ultra_premium=true is the anti-bot tier, and ultra_premium is paid-plans-only. Markdown is 1 because output_format is on the doc's explicit "No Extra Cost" list, alongside wait_for_selector, country_code, session_number, device_type, keep_headers and autoparse, so a plain fetch returned as Markdown costs the same 1 credit as HTML. Two other multipliers that are not one of this site's five: a domain ScraperAPI has built custom logic for costs more whatever the parameters (e-commerce 5, Google and Bing 25, LinkedIn 30), and a domain behind Cloudflare, Cloudflare Turnstile, DataDome or PerimeterX is listed at 10 credits per scrape. Discounted custom deals are repriced upward to hold a floor of "$3 per one thousand requests without rendering and $7 with rendered pages" on ultra premium domains.
