What is the cheapest web scraping API?

Answer first12 cited sourcesUpdated 2026-07-26

At $19 per month, ScrapeOps 100K and ScrapingAnt Enthusiast are tied as cheapest among the eligible offers reviewed for 100,000 successful normal-site requests with basic datacenter routing, no JavaScript rendering, and monthly billing. As of July 26, 2026, sources: ScrapeOps pricing and request costs, ScrapingAnt pricing, and ScrapingAnt credit costs, retrieved July 26, 2026.

Why the claim is this narrow

ScrapeOps publishes a $19 monthly plan with 100,000 credits, and its normal successful response costs 1 credit. Its billable success statuses are HTTP 200 and 404, unused monthly credits do not transfer, and the plan supplies one concurrent thread.

ScrapingAnt publishes a $19 Enthusiast plan with 100,000 monthly credits and says failed requests cost 0 credits. Its credit schedule assigns 1 credit to a simple request without browser use on a standard datacenter proxy, which is the request class used here.

The comparison set also included current, public, self-service monthly or pay-as-you-go offers whose basic-request billing unit is explicit. Decodo’s $19 plan covers only 38,000 standard requests, so its first qualifying monthly plan for 100,000 is $49; Scrape.do’s $29 Hobby plan contains 250,000 credits and a normal request costs 1 credit. Decodo pricing, Scrape.do pricing, and Scrape.do request costs, retrieved July 26, 2026.

ScraperAPI’s Hobby plan is $49 for 100,000 credits, with 1 credit defined as the cost of a standard page request. ScrapingDog’s first paid plan is $40 for 200,000 credits, and its rotating-proxy request costs 1 credit. ScraperAPI pricing and ScrapingDog pricing, retrieved July 26, 2026.

Bright Data’s pay-as-you-go Web Unlocker rate yields $150 for 100,000 successful requests, while ScrapingFish sells 100,000 paid requests plus 5,000 bonus requests for $200. Those offers include different features and billing definitions, so their higher totals do not prove inferior value. Bright Data pricing, ScrapingFish pricing, and ScrapingFish packs, retrieved July 26, 2026.

Changing any eligibility input can change the winner. ScrapeOps charges 10 credits for standard rendering, 25 for residential plus rendering, and target-specific amounts for named domains, while concurrency also changes by plan. ScrapeOps request costs and plans, retrieved July 26, 2026.
