What will your scraping cost?

Why the same pages cost so differently

• Multipliers. A JavaScript page costs 5 credits on ZenRows and ScrapingBee, 10 on ScraperAPI and ScrapingAnt, and 1 on Firecrawl.
• Premium proxies. Residential proxies cost 10 to 25 credits a page on most credit-based APIs, but are included in Bright Data, Oxylabs and Crawlbase prices.
• Flat per-page pricing (Bright Data, Oxylabs) looks expensive for plain pages and cheap for hard ones.
