What you scrape moves the bill more than who you buy from. A target that forces JavaScript rendering or a residential exit multiplies the meter before any plan is chosen.

Cost to scrape Site behind Cloudflare at 10K, 100K, and 1M table
| Route | 10K | 100K | 1M | Billing rule and source | Checked |

The comparison uses 10,000, 100,000, and 1,000,000 billable target calls or delivered results per month, calculated on 2026-07-26. It does not claim those calls all become useful rows. Credit, request, result, and search meters are passed through the dataset quote model, which selects the least expensive published self-service offer that covers each volume. A starting USD rate is shown as a lower bound because an unpublished minimum, tier, or contract can raise the invoice. Retries, pagination, duplicate outputs, taxes, and data licensing are outside these figures.
The published price answer
The record contains 3 published target-rate lines across 3 vendors. Those are the only rows allowed to produce a target-specific dollar result. Different light, normal, HTML, rendered, protected, or dedicated modes stay separate because collapsing them would hide the unit change that drives the bill. A plan name in a cell is the offer selected from that vendor record, not a recommendation.
Cloudflare Bypass and Cloudflare Turnstile requests cost 10 credits. docs.scraperapi.com. ZenRows classifies Cloudflare pages as protected and prices JavaScript plus premium proxies at 25x basic. docs.zenrows.com. The published residential or mobile plus headless browser path costs 25 credits. scrape.do.
Rendering and access change the job
This record classifies Site behind Cloudflare as very-hard and records rate limiting, CAPTCHA, bot detection and fingerprinting, IP reputation checks, dynamic rendering, TLS fingerprinting. JavaScript rendering is required in the recorded profile, so a plain HTML request is not the same workload. Residential routing is recorded as needed, but no generic proxy multiplier is silently added: the table applies only a vendor’s explicit target meter.
The requested fields, authentication state, response format, and rendering path must be fixed before a published unit rate becomes a usable estimate.
No public official substitute is in the record
Cloudflare protection is a site configuration, not a content platform; any official API belongs to the protected site. That leaves no sanctioned same-data price to compare in the current record. “Not applicable” is not converted to zero cost because partner access, licensing, or a future API could still carry conditions. Status checked 2026-07-26.
What the dataset does not establish
No dedicated vendor endpoint or template is recorded for Site behind Cloudflare. That does not prove generic scraping products cannot reach it. It means the current evidence cannot support a target-specific support or cost claim. A buyer should require a sample response schema and a written meter before projecting volume from a generic pricing page.
Evidence to check before buying
- ScraperAPI prices both Cloudflare Bypass and Cloudflare Turnstile handling at 10 credits versus its 1-credit normal baseline docs.scraperapi.com.
- ZenRows explicitly classifies Cloudflare as protected and says protected pages need JavaScript rendering plus premium proxies, a 25x combination docs.zenrows.com.
- Scrapfly documents fingerprinting, TLS behavior, IP reputation, challenges, and CAPTCHA as anti-scraping protection signals scrapfly.io.
- Confirm the exact entity and output unit, whether a page, search, result, record, or API object. Then multiply by pagination and refresh frequency before selecting a plan.
