Web Data API Pricing Tracker: Units, Plans and Cash

• Tavily: 2026-11-12 credits docs: basic search costs 1 credit and advanced 2; free Researcher plan 1,000 credits/month, no card. Pay-as-you-go is $0.008 per credit ($8 per 1K basic searches), and the docs apply that PAYG rate once a plan's credit limit is reached. Plans: Project $30 (4,000 credits), Bootstrap $100 (15,000), Startup $220 (38,000), Growth $500 (100,000, $0.005 per credit); unchanged since 31 Oct. 31 Oct reading (also checked then in the tavily-alternatives and tavily-vs-exa fact-checks; not on the credits page on 12 Nov): fast and ultra-fast searches cost 1 credit, automatic depth selection can choose advanced, Enterprise is custom, and keyless Search/Extract over REST and MCP is documented separately with numeric caps unpublished: https://docs.tavily.com/documentation/keyless . No account, invoice or keyless request was made.
• Exa: 2026-11-12 pricing page: Lite and legacy Instant $4/1K, legacy Fast and Auto $7, Deep-lite/Deep $12, legacy Deep-reasoning $15, each for up to 10 results; additional results $1/1K; AI page summaries $1/1K pages (none listed for Lite). Standalone Contents costs $1/1K pages per content type; Answer $5/1K; Monitors $2/1K. The free balance is $10 at signup ('up to 2,500 Lite searches') and resets to $10 on the 1st of each month; the first team also gets a one-time $10 onboarding bonus. An annual Enterprise plan is $12,000 upfront for $12,000 of credits, Zero Data Retention and 25 QPS. Prices unchanged since 31 Oct. 31 Oct reading (changelog and billing docs, also checked then in the tavily-alternatives and tavily-vs-exa fact-checks): Lite was added on 19 Oct 2026 as a cache-only type with fewer parameters; only a user's first team gets the monthly grant (no carryover), and the onboarding bonus does not expire. No API usage was executed.
• Brave Search API: 2026-11-12 public pricing (also cited in the same-day brave-search-encrypted-links fact-check): Search $5/1K, up to 50 QPS, with $5 in monthly credits applied automatically; the FAQ says a card is requested 'to prevent abuse'. Answers is $4/1K plus $5 per million input/output tokens, 2 QPS, with its own $5 monthly credit. Enterprise is custom, with Zero Data Retention. The page's banner says 'Up to $20 in free calls every month', which it does not reconcile with the $5 per-plan credit, and a Brave blog footnote cited in that post says '$10/month in combined free credits'; this row uses $5 for Search. The page says storing results or using them for training needs a custom plan. Unchanged since 31 Oct. 31 Oct reading: Brave's announcement asks for attribution to get the credit, while its API terms make attribution optional; the terms permit transient storage only unless an agreement grants more, and restrict using results to train or evaluate AI models. No account entitlement or API behavior checked.
• Perplexity API: 2026-10-31 public pricing (also checked in the free-web-search-api and tavily-alternatives fact-checks): Search $5/1K successful requests or Fast $1, with 'no additional token-based charges'. One successful Search request may contain up to five queries; successful empty results are billed; invalid, rate-limited and upstream-failure requests are not. Agent API web_search is $2.50/1K standard or $1 Fast, plus model tokens (16 Oct reading: fetch_url $0.50/1K). The migration guide says Sonar support ended 27 Sep 2026; synchronous/streaming calls are gradually reformulated into Agent requests and asynchronous Sonar must move to background mode. No free allowance is listed. Documentation only; no account/API checks.
• Linkup: 2026-10-31 pricing docs (also checked in the free-web-search-api and tavily-alternatives fact-checks): flash/fast/standard searchResults $0.005 per request; sourcedAnswer/structured $0.006. Deep searchResults $0.05, answer/structured $0.055. Basic fetch $0.001 (16 Oct reading of the other fetch tiers: standard with JS or pro without JS $0.005, pro with JS $0.01; schema adds $0.001). Requests paid via x402 have a separate $0.01 minimum. Errors and no-relevant-result calls are not deducted. Entry $5/1K is searchResults, not an answer or Deep rate. Account eligibility was not checked.
• Parallel: 2026-10-31 pricing (also checked in the free-web-search-api and tavily-alternatives fact-checks): Search costs $1 per 1K on Turbo and Fast and $5 per 1K on Basic and Advanced, 10 results per request (16 Oct reading: extra results $1 per 1K). Extract costs $1 per 1K. Up to 600 requests a minute. Parallel's own free-search article says a card is needed only for the $5 monthly credit and describes it as 'enough for up to 5,000 Turbo or Fast searches', so the 5K requests and $5 credit may be one allowance described two ways. The Search MCP allows anonymous keyless use in fast mode without a published cap. No account check.
• You.com APIs: 2026-10-31 public prices (also checked in the free-web-search-api and tavily-alternatives fact-checks): Web Search $5/1K calls; Contents $1/1K pages; live full-page retrieval adds $1/1K pages to Search. The free MCP profile (?profile=free) needs no account or key. The pricing page showed '$10 free credit = 2,000 searches' on 31 Oct; 16 Oct captures had differed ($10 versus $100); whether it is one-time, and its card rules, are unstated, so it is not subtracted from paid examples. 16 Oct reading: Answer $5/1K; Research Lite $12/1K, Standard $50, Deep $100, Exhaustive $450, Frontier $1,200 (different product modes). No live billing or entitlement check.
• Valyu: 2026-11-13 pricing docs (also checked in the tavily-alternatives fact-check): accounts without a plan now get free credits every month, 2,000 with a work email (no card) and 1,000 with a personal email (a card must be saved after the first month; saving it doesn't charge it), and unused free credits don't roll over. They cover the pay-as-you-go sources such as web search, arXiv and PubMed; a plan unlocks the rest. This replaces the one-time $10 signup credit ($20 with a company email) recorded on 31 Oct. The plan and pay-as-you-go figures were re-read unchanged on 13 Nov: retrievals are billed in credits per 1,000 results: web/news 100, arXiv/PubMed/bioRxiv/medRxiv 50, clinical trials 800, stock prices 960, patents 1,280, SEC filings 1,920, Wiley publications 4,800. Pay-as-you-go: $10 buys 1,600 credits, $10 minimum top-up, top-ups last 12 months; at that rate 1,000 web results cost about $0.63 before plan bonuses. Monthly plans: $29 (5,000 credits), $99 (18,000), $499 (100,000); these replace the $29/$89/$449 plans recorded on 16 Oct. The Search reference does not state the unit of max_price. One query is not automatically one retrieval, so per-query normalization is withheld. No account or invoice check.
• Desearch: Public pricing checked on 2026-10-16 labels its figures as reference rates dated 7 May 2026: Web Search $1/1K searches, AI Search $0.40/1K items and Extract $0.50/1K pages. It directs readers to Console for current rates. No current numeric tariff is asserted in the price columns; the historical reference amounts are not a current account or invoice quote.
• WebSearchAPI.ai: 2026-10-16 public pricing: Pro $189/month includes 50K search credits; Expert $1,250/month includes 500K. Credit use varies by retrieval depth and processing, so no fixed per-query normalized price is asserted.
• S1 (formerly Search1API): 2026-10-16 pricing: top-ups from $5; base $1 buys 1,000 credits, which never expire. Basic /search costs 1 credit, Deep search 1 plus one for each successfully crawled page. Monthly plans: $19/25K, $99/150K, $499/1M credits. Deposit bonuses and subscriptions differ from the $1/1K basic PAYG rate.
• Kagi Search API: Extract costs $4 per 1K.
• Mojeek API: 2026-10-31 API page (also checked in the free-web-search-api fact-check): priced in pounds, Startup £2 and Business £3 per 1,000 requests; not converted to USD. The FAQ says you can 'sign up to our Startup Plan and claim a free credit' without giving an amount; this is a signup credit, not a recurring free tier. Startup may cache results for one hour; longer storage needs Business or Enterprise.
• SerpApi: 2026-11-12 pricing page: Starter $25/1K, Developer $75/5K, Production $150/15K, Big Data $275/30K, Searcher $725/100K, Volume $1,475/250K, Infrastructure $2,750/500K and Cloud 1M $3,750/1M; the largest listed plan is Cloud 54M at $106,050 for 54M searches: $1.9639 per 1K at full use, rounded to $1.96 in the top-tier field. Free is 250 searches/month at up to 50 an hour. Legal Shield, up to $2M for collecting and parsing search data, is included from Production up. Only successful searches count; empty result sets count, cached/errored/failed searches do not. Unchanged since 31 Oct. 31 Oct reading (pricing and legal pages, also checked then in the serper-vs-serpapi, serpapi-alternatives and cheapest-serp-api fact-checks): the embedded pricing data contained 61 paid Best Effort plans; optional speed upgrades and additional AI Overview retrievals cost extra; Legal Shield cover is scoped to U.S. law and U.S. courts and excludes downstream use; the legal page's 99.95% SLA is contractual, not measured uptime (the pricing page itself did not mention an SLA on 12 Nov). No checkout, account entitlement or actual API billing was checked.
• apiserpent.com (SerpentAPI): I have a business connection to apiserpent.com, one of the services covered here. 2026-11-12 pricing page, FAQ and terms: the rates are unchanged since 3 Nov. New-credit Web rates are Default $0.60/1K with no deposit; Growth $0.30 after one qualifying $100 deposit; Scale $0.10 after $500; Enterprise $0.05 after a $1,000 single deposit; Enterprise Plus $0.03 after a $1,250 single deposit. Each deposit is priced by its size, and the best deposit in a calendar month sets the price for that month's deposits. The same rate applies across Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and Brave (Shopping Search excludes Bing). Purchased credit never expires, so these rates carry no expiry penalty, and existing credit keeps its old schedule; refunded/charged-back deposits do not qualify. On published rates, its 100K ($0.10) and 1M ($0.03) effective cells are the lowest of the Google SERP rows filled in this dataset (rows carry different verification dates); that says nothing about result quality, latency or uptime, which I did not test. Pricing-change history: on 31 Oct 2026 the pricing page carried the banner 'Prices to increase 10x after October 31' with no new rates; on 3 Nov 2026 the banner was gone, the lower tiers were unchanged and Enterprise had moved from $0.03 to $0.05, with $0.03 now on the new Enterprise Plus tier. The effective date was not stated, and the terms (last updated 31 Oct 2026) allow pricing changes with 30 days' notice; on 12 Nov the pricing page carried no price-change banner. Recheck the live page before depositing. The 12-month entry-rate cash rule selects Default/Scale/Enterprise Plus at 1K/100K/1M; deposits are spendable balance, not fees. Quick bills one Web unit per call for up to 100 organic results (best-effort); Deep bills one per requested page, up to 10. AI Overview fields are an opt-in option on eligible paid Deep calls with no separate fee listed. Optional AI Mode adds $4 per 1K Deep calls ($0.004 each) on paid plans plus requested-page units, and free-tier keys get empty AI Mode results; 3 Nov reading: an empty answer refunds only the surcharge, and the docs do not establish collection of the Google AI Mode UI. The minimum first deposit is $10; after lifetime deposits reach $50, later top-ups have a $100 minimum. Daily allowances differ by page: the pricing page lists 10K/day on Free and Default, 100K with a $100+ balance, 250K with $500+, 1M with $1,000+ and 5M with $1,250+, and at least 100K after $500 of verified net deposits; the FAQ gives at least 10K/day for every account, or 100K after $500 of verified net deposits. No account cap or throughput was tested. Ten free calls are one shared pool across services; the terms say free searches expire after 12 months of account inactivity; promotional bonuses expire after 30 days. Purchases are generally non-refundable (FAQ: requests within 7 days for listed exceptions such as technical failures or duplicate charges). No public PAYG SLA; the customer indemnifies the vendor under Indian-law terms with arbitration in India.
• Serper: 2026-11-12 homepage pricing: prepaid packs of $50/50K (50 QPS), $375/500K (100), $1,250/2.5M (200) and $3,750/12.5M (300), credits valid 6 months for every pack, prices exclude sales tax/VAT/GST, and 2,500 free queries with no card. The FAQ says credits are deducted for successful responses and new queries stop at a zero balance. Unchanged since 31 Oct. Effective totals count credits usable before expiry under the dataset cash rule. 31 Oct reading (homepage and terms, also checked then in the serper-vs-serpapi, cheapest-serp-api and serpapi-alternatives fact-checks): a deeper-results multiplier and AI Overview support were not confirmed in primary documentation; terms (updated 29 May 2024) give a mutual indemnity, an 'as is' service and no SLA; Serper runs a public status page at https://serper.betteruptime.com/ , which reports incidents rather than promising uptime. No API billing test.
• SearchApi: 2026-10-31 pricing and terms (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api, serpapi-alternatives and serper-vs-serpapi fact-checks): monthly plans are Developer $40/10K, Production $100/35K, BigData $250/100K, Scale $500/250K, Octo 500K $900/500K, Octo 1M $1,500/1M, Octo 2M $2,800/2M and Octo 5M $5,000/5M. All listed plans advertise a 99.9% SLA and up to 20% of plan credits per hour; these are not measured results. Signup gives 100 free requests with no card. Legal terms describe up-to-$2M aggregate coverage per 12-month period for active Production+ customers, with notice/cooperation requirements and exclusions for customer use, storage, resale, systems and unlawful activity. Refund within 10 days if 25% or less is used. Only successful 200 searches are billed. No account entitlement or contract outcome was checked.
• DataForSEO SERP API: 2026-10-31 pricing, minimum-payment and payments help pages (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api, serpapi-alternatives and tavily-alternatives fact-checks): the Standard queue costs $0.60/1K 10-result SERPs ($0.0006 each), with about 5 minutes average turnaround and a 45-minute target; it is not live. Requested depth is billed per additional 10-result page; search operators and other options add charges (16 Oct reading: operators such as site: multiply the price by 5). Priority and Live are separate rows. $50 minimum payment, $1 trial credit and non-expiring deposited funds. Terms §7.2 indemnity concerns violation of §7.1. No latency/billing test.
• Bright Data SERP API: 2026-10-31 pricing (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api, serpapi-alternatives and tavily-alternatives fact-checks): PAYG $1.50/1K successful requests; Scale is $499/month for 380K requests plus $1.30/1K additional; Enterprise is custom. The free tier is '5K records per month', no card. At 1M, Scale costs $499 + 620 × $1.30 = $1,305, or $1.31/1K rounded. The slider showed no larger steps on 31 Oct; on 16 Oct it also listed $999/900K + $1.10/1K and $1,999/2M + $1/1K, which would make 1M $1,109 ($1.11/1K), but those stops could not be re-confirmed, so a larger step offered to your account could cost less. Paid totals are gross of the free allowance because free/paid stacking is unverified. Default successful-only billing changes to all-attempt billing with custom headers or cookies: https://docs.brightdata.com/products/serp-api/pricing-and-billing . The license states customer indemnity; no scraping-specific vendor cover was established: https://brightdata.com/license . No account execution or invoice proof is asserted.
• Oxylabs Web Scraper API (SERP): 2026-11-06 Web API /Search pricing (Starter cut from $30/30K, seen 2026-10-31): plans are Starter $15/15K, Basic $100/100K and Flexible $500/500K, each $1/1K at full allowance; Enterprise starts from $2,500/month for 2.5M+. The $5 welcome credit applies 'toward any product'; the card's 'up to 5.6K searches' is not assumed to be guaranteed. The exact 1M total/top-up entitlement is withheld. Do not substitute the separate /Scrape target tariff.
• Decodo Web Scraping API (SERP): 2026-10-31 Web Data API billing table (also cited in the cheapest-serp-api and serpapi-alternatives fact-checks): Search has one per-request rate by monthly plan: $19 = $0.75/1K, $49 = $0.65, $99 = $0.60, $249 = $0.55, $499 = $0.50, $999 = $0.45, $1,499 = $0.40; Search is listed separately from scraping and proxy/rendering modes. 16 Oct reading: the marketing free-plan page and 12 Oct launch blog say up to 10K monthly standard pages, which is not 10K guaranteed searches at every configuration. No normalized volume totals are asserted until allowance/top-up details are matched. Only documented public pricing, not a purchased account.
• Scrapingdog: 2026-11-12 (pricing page and the pay-as-you-go announcement, both read live): a Google SERP Light request costs 5 credits; Advance and AI Mode cost 10. Lite is $40 (200K credits, 40K Light calls), Standard $90 (1M), Pro $200 (3M), Premium $350 (6M, 1.2M Light calls); the top listed tier, Nova Pro, is $30,000/mo for 1.1B credits ($0.14/1K Light calls at full use). Every account starts with 100 free credits, no card (200 on 2026-09-25). The page says failed requests are never charged. Pay-as-you-go is sold in the dashboard, not on the pricing page: $10 buys 25,000 credits (minimum top-up $10, then $10 steps), 'PAYG credits don't have an expiration date', 'With PAYG plans, you still get access to all the APIs', and 'You cannot use PAYG & Subscription plans together' (announcement published 26 Nov 2025, modified 7 Oct 2026: https://www.scrapingdog.com/blog/introducing-pay-as-you-go-pricing-model/). Under the dataset method, never-expiring credits count at the pack rate ($0.40 per 1K credits), so 1K Light searches (5,000 credits) cost $2/1K, with $10 cash to start; was $40 under the 31 Oct plan-only reading. Lite ($40) ties pay-as-you-go at 20K Light searches a month and is cheaper from there up to its 40K; at 100K and 1M the Standard and Premium plans stay cheaper than pay-as-you-go ($200 and $2,000). PAYG concurrency is not stated. 31 Oct reading (not re-read on 12 Nov): its terms rule out refunds.
• Zenserp: 2026-10-31 pricing (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api fact-check): monthly plans are Small $49.99/25K, Medium $149.99/100K, Large $299.99/250K, Premium $499.99/500K and Enterprise $899/1M searches; Free is 50 searches/month.

• Traject Data ValueSERP: 2026-10-31 pricing (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api and serpapi-alternatives fact-checks): PAYG is $2.50/1K from a $25 initial purchase (10K requests); 100 signup searches are free, no card required. Displayed subscriptions are marked 'Billed Annually': $50/month equivalent for 25K monthly searches through $10,000/month equivalent for 20M. The $158/100K and $1,000/1M monthly equivalents require 12-month purchases; $0.50/1K is the highest displayed annual tier's full-use nominal rate. A Monthly/Annual toggle shows '-10%', but month-to-month prices are not stated and PAYG expiry is unverified, so all normalized monthly-volume cells are withheld. 16 Oct reading: only successful Search API calls count. No purchased account or invoice check.
• serpstack: 2026-10-31 pricing (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api fact-check): monthly plans are Basic $29.99/5K, Business $99.99/20K and Business Pro $199.99/50K searches, with overage of $0.023992, $0.019998 and $0.0159992 per search. Business Pro plus overage gives $199.99 + 50,000 × $0.0159992 = $999.95 at 100K (about $10/1K) and $15,399.23 at 1M ($15.40/1K). Annual equivalents of $26.99/$87.99/$169.99 are separate. The free 100 searches/month are for non-commercial use. No prediction about a cheaper custom quote; no executed billing.
• SerpHouse: 2026-10-31 pricing (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api fact-check): Basic is $29.99/400K credits and Regular is $49.99/800K. Ordinary SERPs are advertised at $0.75/1K on Basic or $0.62 on Regular; top 100 Google results cost $7.50 on Basic/$6.25 on Regular. The largest public plan covers about 80K ordinary searches, so 100K/1M totals are withheld; that is not a claim that higher volume is unavailable. The Free plan (4,000 credits) is a one-month renewing trial for work email or 7 days without renewal for personal email; no account was checked.
• Serply: 2026-10-31 pricing (checked in the cheapest-serp-api fact-check): $5 buys 2,500 credits; $15 buys 10,000 ($1.50 per 1K); $0.75 per 1K from the $375 pack (500,000). Purchased credits never expire; the 2,500 free credits are valid 30 days. 16 Oct reading: cached results are free.
• HasData: 2026-10-31 prices page (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api fact-check): it shows Startup $49/200K credits, Basic $99/1M and Growth $208/3M under a 'Billed annually' toggle with '2 months free', without separate annual prices and without saying which billing period those figures use. The month-to-month prices recorded on 16 Oct (Startup $59, Basic $119, Growth $249, plus $415/5M, $830/10M and $1,660/20M tiers, with $49/$99/$208 read then as monthly equivalents of annual purchases) were not visible on 31 Oct. Both readings are kept here, and the entry price, per-1K and cash-to-start cells are withheld until the billing period is confirmed. Full Google SERP costs 10 credits per request: https://docs.hasdata.com/apis/google-serp/serp.md . No account or invoice check.
• Google Custom Search JSON API: Capped at 10,000 queries a day. Closed to new customers; existing customers must move off by 2027-01-01.
• DataForSEO SERP API (Priority queue): 2026-10-31 pricing and help pages (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api and serpapi-alternatives fact-checks): the Priority queue costs $1.20/1K 10-result SERPs, with up to about 1 minute vendor-average turnaround; this is not a measured guarantee. $50 minimum payment, $1 trial credit and non-expiring funds; terms §7.2 indemnity is tied to §7.1 violations.

A free trial is advertised without a verified allowance.
• Searlo: 2026-11-03 pricing recheck: packs, one-year validity and the one-credit web-search rate unchanged; Full SERP (GET /serp) is 3 credits a page, and neither the pricing page nor the docs say how many organic results one web-search credit returns. At 3 credits per search the same packs would be about $0.67/1K at 100K and $0.60 at 1M. 2026-10-31 pricing (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api and serpapi-alternatives fact-checks): cards and FAQ now consistently give one-year validity per grant for new users; the 90-day competitor-table entry flagged on 16 Oct is gone. Packs are Micro $3.99/5K, Starter $9.99/20K, Builder $29.99/75K, Scale $74.99/250K, Pro $199.99/900K, Growth $399/1.8M and Enterprise $799/4M credits; web search costs one credit per successful call. Under the dataset's expiring-credit rule: 1K/month uses Micro, $3.99/5K = $0.80/1K; 100K/month uses Pro, $199.99/900K = $0.22/1K (lasts nine months); 1M/month uses Enterprise, $799/4M = $0.20/1K (lasts four months). Caveats: the page does not say how many results one web-search call returns, so these assume one call is one ~10-result page; actual account expiry is untested; the page warns it may adjust prices during November and December 2026, and from 1 Nov 2026 browser-completed AI Overview SERPs cost 8 credits instead of 3 and rendered scrape/crawl/extract pages 5 instead of 1 (ordinary web search unchanged).
• scrape.do: 2026-10-31 pricing and Google Search Scraper page (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api and serpapi-alternatives fact-checks): every Google Search Scraper API call costs 10 credits, so Hobby ($29, 250K credits) covers 25,000 searches. Pro is $99 (1.25M credits), Business $249 (3.5M) and Advanced $699 (10M); Free is 1,000 credits/month. Rollover was not confirmed.
• cloro: 2026-10-31 pricing and providers docs (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api and serpapi-alternatives fact-checks): Google costs a base of 3 credits async, with sync +2 and each extra page +2; async/batch AI Overview (incl. SERP) is 5 credits and AI Mode 4. This dataset's live/synchronous baseline therefore uses 5 credits. Lite $30/37.5K credits means an allocated $4/1K; at 100K searches, Starter $250/650K costs $2.50/1K; 1M uses Enterprise 2K at $2,000/5,871,025 credits = $2/1K; the $1,000 Business plan's 2.8M credits do not cover it. Hobby $100/250K, Growth $500/1.35M and Enterprise 3K–5K are also listed. Monthly credits do not roll over and expire at the end of the billing period. No API execution.
• Scrape Creators: 2026-11-13 homepage (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api fact-check): the homepage now says 'Start with 100 free credits. Claim up to 1,200 more', made up of 100 for saying how you found them, 100 for starring the GitHub repo and 1,000 for a G2 review; this replaces the up-to-7K bonus recorded on 31 Oct. Freelance is $47/25K credits, Business $497/500K and Enterprise custom (1M+); every plan card still says 'Credits never expire'. The Google Search docs reading is from 31 Oct: it costs 1 credit/request (https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/google/search/), and the response sample shows five results and does not establish a 10-result contract, so normalized 10-result cells remain withheld. Entry $1.88/1K is per API call. No account/API or reward-task action.
• ScraperAPI: 2026-10-31 prices and credit-cost docs (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api and serpapi-alternatives fact-checks): Google costs 25 credits/request; Hobby $49/100K covers 4K, Startup $149/1M covers 40K, and Business $299/3M covers 120K. Advanced $1,975/21.5M, shown with a '+500K bonus credits' limited-offer label, covers about 860K at 25 credits; the exact 1M total needs an unpublished overage/custom quote, so it is withheld. Monthly credits reset. The trial is 5K credits for 7 days, no card; the pricing FAQ separately mentions 1,000 free credits. No executed billing.
• Apify Google Search Scraper: 2026-10-31 Actor pricing tab and platform pricing (also checked in the cheapest-serp-api fact-check): base scraped-SERP-page tariffs are Free $4.50/1K, Starter $2.50, Scale $1.95 and Business $1.80; paid plan commitments are $19/$199/$999 in monthly prepaid usage. Each run adds $0.00005; optional events cost more (16 Oct reading: optional AIO adds $3/$2/$1.50/$1.00 per 1K by plan; ads/full-page/AI-mode events extra). The $5 monthly free platform credit covers up to about 1,111 base pages at the Free tariff and does not roll over. Exact volume normalization is withheld without a run/add-on configuration; the $1.80 headline is Business, not universal PAYG. This is the Google Search Actor, not Website Content Crawler.
• OpenAI web search tool: 2026-10-31 pricing (checked in the free-web-search-api fact-check): standard web search is $10 per 1K tool calls, with search content tokens billed at model rates on top. The web search preview for non-reasoning models is $25 per 1K calls with free content tokens. No general free search allowance is published. 16 Oct reading: inline citations must be clearly visible and clickable.
• Anthropic web search tool: 2026-10-31 Claude API tool docs (checked in the free-web-search-api fact-check): $10/1K searches plus standard token costs for search-generated content; search errors are not billed, and citations are always enabled. No general free allowance is listed. 16 Oct reading: each search counts once regardless of results. Deployment/model support needs its own documentation check. No API execution.
• Gemini API grounding with Google Search (Gemini 3.x): 2026-10-31 pricing (checked in the free-web-search-api fact-check): Gemini 3 and newer have no Free Tier grounding; the Paid Tier shares 5,000 search queries/month across applicable models, then bills $14/1K search queries plus model tokens, with a default cap of 1,500 requests a day. One prompt can trigger multiple search queries, so 5,000 queries is not 5,000 answers. Terms (effective 23 Mar 2026) require display of Search Suggestions and constrain collection/storage, with limited named exceptions, so this is not a blanket no-storage rule. Developer API channel only. No account usage was checked.
• Gemini API grounding with Google Search (Gemini 2.5): 2026-10-31 pricing (checked in the free-web-search-api fact-check): the Gemini 2.5 Pro/Flash/Flash-Lite paid tier includes 1,500 grounded prompts/day, then $35/1K, plus model tokens; Flash/Flash-Lite share the paid allowance. Free Tier Flash/Flash-Lite share up to 500/day; Gemini 2.5 Pro has no Free Tier grounding; do not present 1,500/day as a universal free-tier offer. The billing unit is a grounded prompt rather than a Gemini 3+ individual search query. No API execution. 13 Nov reading of Google's deprecations page (prices above are the 31 Oct reading, not re-checked): gemini-2.5-pro and gemini-2.5-flash are deprecated and no longer selectable in Google AI Studio; effective 1 December 2026, all API requests to gemini-2.5-pro route automatically to gemini-3.8-flash and requests to gemini-2.5-flash to gemini-3.5-flash-lite, billed at those models' rates, so this row's per-grounded-prompt prices stop applying to those two models then.
• Google Agent Search (formerly Vertex AI Search): 2026-10-16 General Pricing: Standard costs $1.50/1K; Enterprise costs $4/1K and includes Website Search. Advanced Generative Answers adds $4/1K. These search an application's configured sites/data, not the whole web. Index storage has a 10GiB monthly free quota. A separate Configurable subscription model exists and is not represented by the Standard PAYG rate. The historical exact rename date is not reasserted. No account/invoice proof.
• Firecrawl Search: 2026-10-31 pricing, search and billing docs (also checked in the firecrawl-vs-tavily, tavily-alternatives and free-web-search-api fact-checks): Search costs 2 credits per 10 results, rounded up in 10-result blocks; with scrapeOptions the standard scraping cost applies to each result, and JSON/Question/Highlight formats add 4 credits a page. Hobby at $19/month for 5K credits gives an allocated $7.60/1K basic 10-result searches ($16/month billed annually); Standard is $99/month for 100K, or $83/month billed annually ($990/year); Growth $399 (500K) and Scale $749 (1M). Free 1K credits renew monthly, no card. Keyless use is capped per IP each day without published numbers. Annual and monthly prices are distinct; no Search quality or API billing test.
• Browserbase Search: 2026-10-31 pricing (also checked in the free-web-search-api and tavily-alternatives fact-checks): Free and Developer (and the listed Startup plan) include 1K Search calls/month; Developer costs $20/month, then the default provider, Parallel Advanced, is $5/1K. The provider grid lists Parallel Fast at $1/1K, Parallel Advanced at $5, Exa Fast at $7 and Exa Deep at $12. Search is limited to 2 requests a second per project. A universal $7/1K entry price is withdrawn: provider and subscription commitment must be specified. Current billing-plan docs still show a flat $7/1K Search overage: https://docs.browserbase.com/account/billing/plans . This conflicts with the provider-specific schedule; the actual account tariff remains unverified. No normalized total or account entitlement was verified.

• ScraperAPI: 2026-10-31 (live pricing page and credit-cost docs; also the same-day fact-checks of cheapest-web-scraping-api and scraperapi-alternatives): Hobby 49/100K, Startup 149/1M, Business 299/3M, Scaling 475/5M, Professional 975/10.5M and Advanced 1975/21.5M credits. The last two carry limited-offer bonus labels (+250K, +500K); do not assume those bonuses recur forever. Generic plain costs 1, render 10, premium 10 and combo 25; ultra costs 30, or 75 with JS (paid plans only). Cost docs label modifiers 'Extra Cost', while the JS FAQ specifies 10 total; the normalized JS cells use 10 total. PAYG exists from Scaling at a fixed per-credit rate that is not published; no such overage is normalized. Credit balance resets at renewal. Free 1K monthly/5 concurrent and an initial 5K 7-day trial with no card are on the pricing page and Plans & Billing docs. No API execution.
• ScrapingBee: 2026-10-31 (live pricing page and API docs; also the same-day fact-checks of cheapest-web-scraping-api and scraperapi-alternatives): render_js defaults to true at 5 credits; plain figures explicitly disable it. Credits are 1/5/10/25; stealth_proxy costs 75. Monthly plans are 19/75K, 49/250K, 99/1M, 249/3M and 599/8M. Published Enterprise tiers are Enterprise 14 at 999/14M, Enterprise 24 at 1599/24M, Enterprise 41 at 2399/41M, Enterprise 69 at 3599/69M and Enterprise 120 at 5799/120M. Thus 1M premium requests (10M credits) use Enterprise 14 at 999 total, rounded to $1/1K. The pricing page says credits are valid for one month and don't roll over (previously recorded as not stated). Default billed codes are 200/404/410/413; transparent_status_code mode bills other below-500 codes too. Auto Mode costs 0 if every configuration fails. No API execution.
• ZenRows: 2026-10-31 (live docs pricing page; also the same-day fact-checks of cheapest-web-scraping-api and scraperapi-alternatives) monthly rungs: Build 19/45K, 29/80K, 39/120K; Launch 69/250K, 99/500K, 129/700K; Growth 199/1.2M, 279/2M, 399/3M; Scale 549/5M, 749/8M, 999/12.5M, 1999/28M, 2999/45M. Credit weights are 1/5/10/25. Free 5K monthly/no rollover. Plan credits expire at every renewal; unused top-ups roll into the next period once. Published top-ups by rung, with up to 10 purchases per period, were considered; existing displayed volume totals remain cheapest for these targets. Annual billing is charged upfront with two months free; on 16 Oct the annual view rounded entry prices to Build 16, Launch 58, Growth 166 and Scale 458 (the 458 Scale figure was seen again on 31 Oct); September 27 annual labels of 57/165/456 are historical. No API execution.
• Zyte API: 2026-11-12 (live pricing page; also the same-day bright-data-vs-zyte and apify-vs-scrapy fact-checks, which read the billing docs). Tier 1 (easiest sites) prices. Pay-as-you-go: HTTP $0.13–1.27 and browser $1.01–16.08 per 1K across tiers 1–5; the docs set a standard PAYG spend ceiling of $100. $100/mo commitment: HTTP from $0.10, browser from $0.75; $200: $0.08 / $0.60; $500: $0.06 / $0.48. The billing docs also list a $350 commitment (48% off) that the pricing page does not show, and spending limits of $200/$400/$700/$2,500 for the $100/$200/$350/$500 commitments. JS at 100K uses the $100 commitment ($75 of usage, $100 floor); JS at 1M uses the $500 floor ($480 of usage), still cheaper than about $525 on the $350 plan. The docs say the account is suspended after the free credit expires until a spending limit is set. Residential IPs have 'different base costs' that are not published (31 Oct reading), so premium is blank.
• Scrapingdog: 2026-11-12 (pricing page read in Chrome, the PAYG announcement and the same-day scrapingdog-pricing fact-check): monthly plans 40/200K (5 concurrent), 90/1M (50), 200/3M, 350/6M, 500/9M and 1000/19M credits, continuing up to 30000/1.1B. Pay-as-you-go is sold in the dashboard, not on the pricing page: $10 buys 25,000 credits in $10 steps, credits 'don't have an expiration date', and 'You cannot use PAYG & Subscription plans together' (announcement published 26 Nov 2025, modified 7 Oct 2026). Under the dataset method, never-expiring PAYG credits count at the pack rate ($0.40 per 1K credits), so 1K requests a month cost $0.40/1K plain, $2/1K rendered and $4/1K premium; the cash outlay is one $10 top-up, which lasts months at those volumes. The announcement states no PAYG concurrency and does not list which features PAYG includes, so the 1K premium cell assumes premium proxies are available on PAYG. At 100K plain, PAYG ($40) ties Lite ($40). Was 40/40/40 at 1K under the 31 Oct plan-only reading. The rendering docs say dynamic rendering 'is enabled by default and costs 5 credits per request (25 with premium proxies)'; plain figures assume dynamic=false. Premium at 1M needs 10M credits, so it uses Business Plus 1000/19M. Failed/blocked/timed-out requests are credited back; rollover starts from Standard. Free-credit wording conflicts: the table puts 100 in a 'Monthly credits' row, the FAQ says every account 'starts with 100 free credits', and the docs index says 200 requests a month; the 100 is not counted as a recurring grant.
• Scrape.do: 2026-11-12 (live pricing page, also read in Chrome, and the same-day scrape-do-pricing fact-check): Hobby $29 (250K, 10 concurrent), Pro $99 (1.25M, 50), Business $249 (3.5M, 100), Advanced $699 (10M, 200), Enterprise custom; unchanged since 16 Oct. The cards' per-1K labels are rounded ($0.11/$0.08/$0.07/$0.06; Advanced is really $0.0699). JS and premium at 1M need 5M and 10M credits, so both use Advanced; extra credits have no published price, so no overage is used. The 1K plain cell is 0 because the pricing FAQ says the free plan gives 1,000 successful calls a month; other Scrape.do pages also call it monthly or 'free forever'. The pricing FAQ says timeouts, blocks and errors cost no credits, while the request-cost docs count 2XX, 400, 404 and 410 as successful and billed; the billed-outcome cell follows the docs. Annual billing is 10 months for 12 (16.7% off), set up through support. The docs tell you to trust the Scrape.do-Request-Cost response header, because some domains have server-side defaults.
• Crawlbase: 2026-11-12 (live pricing page, a same-day Chrome read of its calculator and the crawlbase-pricing fact-check): the first 1K costs $3, the next 10K $2, the next 100K $0.60, the next 1M $0.50, the next 10M $0.10, then $0.05/$0.04/$0.02 per 1K, billed monthly in arrears with no monthly fee. At 100K, plain costs $76.40 on pay as you go. The calculator shows multipliers apply to the dollar total: 100K standard = $76.40, with JavaScript $152.80 ('200,000 credits spent'), plus Complex $305.60; so 300K JavaScript requests on a standard site cost 2 × $177.50 = $355 on pay as you go. Blocks are Starter 99/200K, Scale 199/500K, Scale 349/1M and Growth 599/2M (yearly 11× monthly). The page says usage past a block 'continues as pay as you go on the same ladder, at the bracket your volume already reached'; the old restart reading is dropped. 1M plain costs 349 (Scale 1M); 100K JS uses Starter's 200K credits at 99; 1M JS uses Growth's 2M credits at 599, because 500K JS requests of overage on Scale 1M would cost 349 + 500 × $0.50 × 2 = 849 under the dollar-multiplier reading. The JS block cells assume a rendered request draws two block credits, which the calculator's credit count suggests but no page states in words. Free 1K initially, up to 5K after setup, not monthly. No proxy-mode equivalence is assumed.
• ScrapingAnt: 2026-11-12 (live homepage pricing, credit-cost and errors docs, and the same-day scrapingant-pricing fact-check): unchanged since 16 Oct. The browser parameter defaults to true, so a request with no options costs 10 credits ($1.90 per 1K on Enthusiast); plain figures assume browser=false. A browser request without JavaScript costs 2, and residential costs 25, 50 or 125 by browser setting. Plans: Enthusiast $19 (100K), Startup $49 (500K), Business $249 (3M), Business Pro $599 (8M), Custom from $699 (10M+); no annual prices found. The homepage says 'failed requests cost 0', but the errors docs bill every API-200 response whatever the target page contains. Restarting Startup once in a month would make 1M plain $98 ($0.098) and 100K JS $98, but how restarts affect billing dates or stacking is undocumented; I used single plans. JS and premium at 1M need Custom, priced only 'from', so they are blank.
• HasData: 2026-10-31 (live pricing page; also the same-day cheapest-web-scraping-api fact-check): the page shows Startup $49/200K, Basic $99/1M and Growth $208/3M credits per month (concurrency 5/15/50) beside a 'Billed annually 2 months free' label, with Enterprise custom. On 16 Oct I recorded monthly-billed prices of $59/200K, $119/1M and $249/3M plus $415/5M, $830/10M and $1660/20M tiers, reading $49/$99/$208 as annual-purchase monthly equivalents. Neither the $59-$1660 figures nor the larger tiers were visible on 31 Oct, so the monthly-billed price is unresolved and the entry price and every paid cost cell are withheld; both readings are kept here. Shared credits cost 1 plain, 10 JS, 5 residential or 15 combined, charged only for success. The 1K plain cell stays 0 because the Free plan gives 1,000 credits every month. Self-serve request docs say unused credits expire; pricing-page rollover belongs to custom Enterprise. No account or invoice check.
• ScrapeOwl: Plans: Bootstrap $29 (250K), Startup $99 (1M), Business $249 (3M). JS and premium at 1M need more than 3M credits, so they are blank.
• Scraping Fish: 2026-11-13 (scrapingfish.com homepage): Scraping Fish is shutting down on 5 December 2026. The API keeps working until 17:00 UTC that day, new packs can no longer be bought, and auto-renew and Unlimited won't renew; unused requests from packs still valid at shutdown are refunded at the price paid per request. Because nothing can be bought at the 16 Oct list prices any more, every price in this row is withheld. The 16 Oct readings (1,000-request pack $2, 100K + 5K pack $200, 1M + 100K pack $2,000, flat price with JS and mobile proxies included, 25 concurrent per domain, 200 and 404 billed) are kept below only as history. Expiry and concurrency details are as read on 16 Oct. No execution.
• scrapestack: Basic $19.99 (200K; no JS, no premium proxies; +$0.0003998 per extra request), Professional $79.99 (1M; JS and premium proxies; +$0.00031996), Business $199.99 (3M; +$0.0002666533). How many requests a JS or premium-proxy call uses is not on the pricing page, and the docs sit behind an APILayer page I could not read, so JS and premium are blank.
• ScrapFly: 2026-10-16 pricing + billing doc: Discovery 30/200K, Pro 100/1M (+3.50/10K), Startup 250/2.5M (+2/10K) and Enterprise 500/5.5M (+1.20/10K). Human-readable pricing says Discovery has a hard cap; the machine-readable table also lists 5/10K but says quota-cap, so no Discovery overage is used. Credits reset at renewal. Datacenter base costs 1 and residential base 25; rendering adds +5, giving 6/30. These base-credit examples assume HTML below bandwidth thresholds; large HTML >1MB, request body >100KB and rendered traffic >3MB incur bandwidth credits. Failed-request protection excludes named 4xx codes and lapses above 30% eligible failure traffic/minimum hour. JS at 1M=560, premium at 1M=2840 with Enterprise + overage. Public-price arithmetic only, no performance/API tests.
• Oxylabs Web Scraper API: 2026-10-16: Public /Scrape pricing supersedes the old Micro 49/Starter 99/Advanced 249. Current plans are Starter 30, Basic 100, Flexible 500 and Enterprise from 2500. Generic /Scrape headlines start from 0.50/0.45/0.35/0.25 per 1K; Other-target prices start from 1/0.90/0.80/0.75. Google Non-JS at 1/0.90/0.70/0.50 and Google JS at 1.35/1.30/1.15/0.90 are target-specific examples, not a generic HTML tariff. All old exact mode totals/concurrency are withdrawn; target-specific current costs require a fixed configuration and supported tariff. No purchase or API usage.
• Decodo Web Scraping API: 2026-10-16: New Web Data API rates per 1K, for plan prices [19,49,99,249,499,999,1499], are standard [0.50,0.40,0.30,0.20,0.18,0.16,0.15], standard JS [0.75,0.65,0.60,0.55,0.50,0.45,0.40], premium [1,0.75,0.70,0.65,0.60,0.55,0.50] and premium JS [1.50,1.25,1.10,1,0.95,0.90,0.85]. proxy_pool defaults to premium; leaving headless unset disables JS. Current cards show 19 for up to 38K standard pages, 49 for up to 122K, 99 for up to 330K and 249 for up to 1.2M. Old alternative capacities of 38K/163K/707K are no longer current; normalized totals are withheld pending complete balance/top-up/free-grant matching. Public billing docs only; no account/API proof.
• Bright Data Web Unlocker: 2026-11-12 (live pricing page; also the same-day bright-data-vs-zyte and bright-data-pricing fact-checks, which read the feature docs and release notes): Free Tier 5K requests/month, one shared pool across products, so it is not a separate Unlocker grant; PAYG $1.50/1K successful requests ('Pay only for success'); Scale $499/month for 383K requests plus $1.30/1K additional; no other monthly card; Enterprise custom; unchanged since 31 Oct. At 1M, Scale costs $499 + 617 × $1.30 = $1,301.10, or $1.30/1K, cheaper than PAYG at $1,500. On 16 Oct the Scale slider also showed $999 for 908K then $1.10/1K and $1999 for 2M then $1/1K, which gave $1,100.20 ($1.10/1K) at 1M; those stops were not visible on 31 Oct or 12 Nov, so the 1M cells use the visible $499 card. Paid totals are gross of free allowances. Browser rendering is included; force rendering uses render=true. No selectable residential-only proxy mode was verified, so premium-mode comparison cells are withheld. The feature docs still describe Premium Domains, billed at a higher rate shown only as an in-zone estimate; the pricing page shows no premium-domain rate, and generic pages here use the default tier. Custom headers/cookies/expect features bill all attempts, and the docs don't say whether render counts as one: https://docs.brightdata.com/products/web-unlocker/features . The page advertises a first-deposit match up to $500, which this dataset never counts. Free/paid stacking, actual performance and invoice behavior remain unverified.
• Scrapeless Web Unlocker: 2026-10-16: The official Web Unlocker product page confirms Basic consumption-based pricing without a monthly commitment, base pricing from $1/1K requests and successful-only billing. Exact higher-tier commitments and discounts remain unverified, so normalized cheapest-volume cells stay withheld; old Growth/Scale/Business tariffs are not current claims. The pricing FAQ says unused monthly commitment is not retained: https://www.scrapeless.com/en/pricing . No account, vendor or product API action.
• Firecrawl: 2026-11-12 (live pricing.md and billing docs; also the same-day scrapegraphai-vs-firecrawl fact-check): unchanged since 31 Oct. Free 1,000 credits/month, no card, 2 concurrent browsers; pay-as-you-go top-ups are not available on Free. Monthly Hobby $19/5K, Standard $99/100K, Growth $399/500K, Scale $749/1M; annual cards $16/$83/$333/$599 a month, billed $190/$990/$3,990/$7,190 a year. Hobby has 5 concurrent browsers. Base markdown and enhanced proxy cost 1 credit/page; JSON adds 4. $5 top-ups buy 1K/2K/2.5K/5K credits by plan. pricing.md states no effective date (31 Oct reading of the HTML page: 'Effective September 4, 2026'). Rollover conflict, both kept: pricing.md says Scale rolls over one month and Enterprise a custom amount; billing docs say monthly plans don't roll over, annual Scale 1 month and annual Enterprise 2 months. The per-1K cells assume no rollover. PDF conflict, still present on 12 Nov: pricing.md says 1 credit/PDF page, billing docs say +1 per PDF page on top of the base. PDF-inclusive totals are not normalized; resolve before PDF work. Plain/enhanced totals exclude PDF/JSON/guard options. Comparable JS columns remain withheld. No API execution.
• ScrapeGraphAI: 2026-11-12 (live pricing page and pricing docs; also the same-day scrapegraphai-vs-firecrawl fact-check). New row. Monthly plans: Starter $20/10K credits, Growth $100/100K, Pro $500/750K, Enterprise custom; the docs give annual equivalents of $17/$85/$425 a month ($204/$1,020/$5,100 a year). Top-up packs: $5/1K, $40/10K, $150/50K, which 'never expire' and stack on a subscription. A markdown scrape costs 1 credit, Extract (structured JSON from a URL) 5, a screenshot 2, search 2 per result (5 with a prompt), crawl 2 to start plus each page's cost. JS render mode adds 0 on both pages. Stealth adds 5 on the pricing page but 4 in the docs (5 for JS plus stealth), so premium cells are withheld. Plain/JS at 100K: Growth $100. At 1M: Pro $500 + 5 × $150 packs = $1,250. The 1K cells are withheld: the free 500 credits don't cover 1K either way, and no page says whether a $5 pack can be bought without a plan (Starter at $20 would be the plan-only cost). Plan-credit rollover, and whether Extract with HTML or Markdown input still costs 5, are not stated. Its terms say it may use Free Plan data for model training, not paid-tier data. No API execution.
• Crawl4AI Cloud: 2026-11-13 (live price API at api.crawl4ai.com/v1/prices and the crawl4ai.com homepage; same-day fact-checks of crawl4ai-vs-firecrawl, firecrawl-pricing, firecrawl-alternatives, website-to-markdown-for-llms, best-web-scrapers-for-llms and cheapest-web-scraping-api): the plans are unchanged (Starter 10/month for 10K credits +1/1K extra; Builder 99/125K +0.79/1K extra; Scale 499/750K +0.67/1K extra; monthly usage caps 50K/500K/2M credits; top-ups start at $10), but the per-page credit costs dropped. A plain page now costs 0.1 credit (was 0.5), a real browser 0.5 (was 1) and a hard site 2 (unchanged), so a browser page is now 5x a plain page and a hard page 20x. Free credits: 20 guest credits need no signup, then 1K credits a month with no card, which covers 10K plain pages or 2K browser pages. Plain at 100K pages: 10K credits = Starter's 10 (exactly its allowance); plain at 1M: 100K credits exceed Starter's 50K cap, so Builder 99 for 125K credits. Browser at 100K: 50K credits = Starter 10 + 40K extras at 40 = 50 (exactly Starter's cap); browser at 1M: 500K credits = Builder 99 + 375K extras at 296.25 = 395.25 (exactly Builder's cap). Rounded per 1K: 0/.10/.10 plain, 0/.50/.40 browser. These model consumed credits; cash charged in a month can differ because top-ups are bought in $10 steps. One field in the price API (the base scrape entry in millicredits) still reads 500 while its per-level table and the homepage say 0.1; this dataset uses the published 0.1. The vendor calls this a soft launch, so prices and free credits can change. Open-source library/self-hosting costs are separate. No API calls beyond reading the public price endpoint.
• Olostep: 2026-10-31 (live pricing page; also the same-day fact-checks of cheapest-web-scraping-api, firecrawl-alternatives and website-to-markdown-for-llms): Monthly plans are 9/5K, 99/200K and 399/1M successful requests. Credit packs of 20/10K, 200/250K and 1000/2M are valid for 6 months; the page offers them to people who don't like subscriptions but does not state outright that no plan is needed. Plans count successful requests while packs and the FAQ count credits; the page implies one credit per successful request without stating it. The expiry-aware method makes 1K monthly use the 20 pack with 6K usable=$3.333/1K, not 9 monthly; 100K monthly uses 200/250K=$0.80/1K, not 99/200K. At 1M monthly the cost remains 399/1M=$0.399. Upfront pack payments of 20 and 200 matter; no assumption of monthly pack renewal. Posts that price Olostep on monthly plans only show $9 at 1K and $0.99 at 100K. The page says trial requests are JS-rendered on residential IPs and paid plans include everything below them; Starter lists 150 concurrent; the trial is 500 successful requests, no card, with renewal not stated. No execution.
• WebCrawlerAPI: 2026-10-16: PAYG has no monthly fee, from $0.002/page; Professional is $99/month, from $0.0015/page; Business is currently $499/month, from $0.001/page. LLM-cleaned markdown rates are $0.006/$0.0055/$0.005 per page respectively. The former $29 Starter is not asserted as current. Only from-rates are established; included subscription allowance and exact target cost remain unverified, so normalized per-1K cells stay withheld. Successful requests are billed. Trial signup needs no card; its size is unstated. No account/API proof.
• Exa Contents: 2026-10-31 (live pricing page and billing guide; also the same-day fact-checks of cheapest-web-scraping-api, firecrawl-vs-tavily, firecrawl-alternatives and website-to-markdown-for-llms): Standalone Contents costs $1/1K pages per content type; text-only is one content type. The first-team monthly free balance resets to 10 without accumulation; the onboarding bonus does not expire. Under this dataset's rule, the free allowance counts only when it covers the whole volume, so the displayed 0/1/1 at 1K/100K/1M remains. Content retrieval does not expose a comparable proxy/render configuration, so JS/premium are N/A. No observed API results.
• Apify: 2026-11-12 (live platform pricing page; also the same-day apify-vs-scrapy fact-check, which read the subscription and billing docs): unchanged since 31 Oct. Starter 19, Scale 199 and Business 999 in monthly prepaid usage (annual billing 17/179/899 a month); free 5/month, no card, no rollover, and Free access is blocked until the next cycle when usage runs out. A compute unit (1 GB of memory for 1 hour) costs 0.20 on Free/Starter, 0.16 on Scale and 0.13 on Business; residential proxy costs 8/8/7.50/7 per GB; included datacenter IPs are 5/30/200/500. The subscription docs set maximum usage limits of $100 on Starter, $1,000 on Scale and $5,000 on Business, and the default limit equals the prepaid usage. Compute/Actor events/proxy/storage are different units, so the platform row remains unranked per request. 31 Oct reading: Apify's Store docs described only pay-per-event and pay-per-usage Actor pricing, with no rental option, and the rental docs page returned 404; whether every former rental Actor has migrated was not confirmed, so each Actor's current tariff must still be checked. No executed Actor/account billing.

• Decodo — PAYG Wallet: Usage charge of $4/GB plus VAT, bought one GB at a time through a Wallet top-up. The pricing page states no minimum top-up, so the Wallet funding minimum is still unverified. Decodo's licence says Wallet credits expire if unused for 12 months; the pricing page states no expiry for PAYG GB.

• Decodo — Monthly regular plans: Regular monthly cards: 3 GB $11.25 ($3.75/GB), 10 GB $35, 25 GB $81.25, 50 GB $150, 100 GB $275 ($2.75/GB), all plus VAT. At 1 GB used you buy the 3 GB card; unused paid capacity does not lower that month's cash. No regular card reaches 1,000 GB; the 1 TB enterprise card is a separate row.

• Decodo — Enterprise1TB advertised tier: The enterprise 1000 GB card lists $2/GB, $2,000 plus VAT monthly (the 250 GB enterprise card is $2.50/GB, $625). On 2026-11-12 the 1000 GB card carried a Buy now button, but I did not go through checkout, so renewal, upfront and selected-quote terms remain unverified; not a firm invoice.

• Bright Data — PAYG list usage: $8/GB is the struck-through list price on the PAYG card; the payable price shown with the RESIGB50 coupon is $4/GB (separate row). These are usage charges, not proven minimum initial funding. Bright Data's docs say residential access needs a KYC review, is for verified companies only and is not available to personal-email accounts. Not claimed as the cheapest Bright Data plan.

• Bright Data — RESIGB50 PAYG: Promotional price, not list: the banner says code RESIGB50 gives 50% off residential proxies for 3 months, and the PAYG card shows $4/GB against a struck-through $8/GB. Coupon acceptance, account applicability and the price after the promotion were not tested. The coupon-priced monthly cards ($499/141 GB, $999/332 GB, $1,999/798 GB) are not modeled. The first-deposit match (up to $500) is excluded.

No card sits between 10 GB and 10 TB, so 100 GB and 1,000 GB amounts are withheld; do not extrapolate the 10 TB rate. The page lists never-expiring traffic. Listed tariffs exclude any Service Fee and applicable tax; terms §6.17 says the fee may be fixed or a percentage, shown when the order, payment or deposit is placed, with no amount stated.

• Webshare — Advertised discounted monthly: Monthly cards: 1 GB $3.50 (no discount shown), 100 GB $225 ($2.25/GB, SAVE 36%), 1,000 GB $1,500 ($1.50/GB, SAVE 57%). The SAVE figures are volume discounts against a struck-through $3.50/GB. Webshare's Cyber Month terms say that from the first renewal you pay the standard price of your plan including any quantity discount that then applies, so the discount renews; only the extra 25% from code CYBER26 (first month of a new monthly plan, November 9 to December 9, 2026) is excluded here. Monthly bandwidth does not roll over, per Webshare's help centre. Yearly billing is not modeled.

• Webshare — Crossed-out reference list: Every card above 1 GB shows a struck-through $3.50/GB reference ($350 on the 100 GB card, $3,500 on the 1,000 GB card); the 1 GB card is sold at $3.50. Until November 12 this row held a $7/GB reference from the October 16 read; the live page now shows $3.50, and I can't tell from it whether the reference changed or the earlier read was wrong. Reference only: above 1 GB these totals are not a purchasable route; never rank them against checkout offers. Source (read 2026-11-12): https://www.webshare.io/residential-proxy
• DataImpulse — Standard residential returning buyer: Cards: Intro $5/5 GB (one-time, new customers), Basic $50/50 GB, Advanced $800/1 TB, Custom from $4,000 (5 TB+). The page says "Buy any volume you like. Unused GBs never expire" and "No subscription, no monthly minimum". The 1 GB case still models the $50 Basic card (49 GB retained) because the page does not show a returning buyer purchasing a single GB; 100 GB uses the $1/GB any-volume line ($100); 1 TB uses the $800 Advanced card. No monthly renewal assumed. Sources: https://dataimpulse.com/residential-proxies/ (read 2026-11-12) ; terms https://dataimpulse.com/terms-of-services/ (last read 2026-10-16)
• DataImpulse — Standard Intro new customer: The Intro card is labelled one-time, new customers: $5 buys 5 GB, so 1 GB consumed leaves 4 GB, which the page says never expire. Not $5/month or a $1 initial checkout. Sources: https://dataimpulse.com/residential-proxies/ (read 2026-11-12) ; terms https://dataimpulse.com/terms-of-services/ (last read 2026-10-16)
• Nimble — KYC-only raw residential proxy: On 2026-11-12 the pricing page listed API plans and per-request prices plus a Media API at $2/GB, but no raw residential proxy price; the proxy quickstart says the proxy service requires KYC verification and is not available to self-service accounts. Raw residential USD/GB, minimum and expiry are unpublished, so numeric fields are omitted; Media API and API request prices are excluded.
