The datum line
The substitution
Decodo Web Scraping API has no exact bill for this workload, so the deltas below are absent rather than estimated. Each alternative still carries its own published figure and state.

This comparison uses standard successful page fetches. Premium proxies, JavaScript rendering, and SERP work are separate scenarios because their consumption differs.
Every scraping API is checked for the baseline before the engine computes price. Switching reasons come from sourced billing and constraint fields, not commercial relationships.
When Decodo remains the better answer
Stay when the job is page retrieval and the four published modes match how requests are routed: standard or premium proxy access, each with or without JavaScript. Decodo treats those as selected result bundles rather than additive meters, retries internally, and charges only successfully retrieved results. The operating limit is the plan’s published rate limit of 10, 25, or 50 requests per second and the share of traffic that needs JavaScript or premium routing. If the sustained load fits one tier and the route can be chosen before the request, the incumbent is a coherent fit. The exact billable status-code list is still unpublished.

The billing boundary alternatives change
Firecrawl adds crawl, search, browser, extraction, and PDF jobs, but plan credits generally do not roll over and a fetched target response in the client-error or server-error families can consume credits. ScraperAPI exposes named targets and concurrency from 20 to 500, yet excess concurrency receives HTTP 429, monthly credits do not roll over, and HTTP 200 and 404 responses are billable. Zyte API uses target-difficulty tiers and add-ons, but an API HTTP 200 can remain billable when the target returns a non-ban bad status, a browser action fails, or extraction data is missing. Those products broaden the job. They do not preserve Decodo’s narrower retrieved-result rule.
