Who should stay with ScrapeBadger
Stay when your volume is uneven: pay-as-you-go credits at $0.15 per 1,000 never expire, so a quiet month costs nothing and a busy one draws on credits bought earlier. Stay too if you use its dedicated Google, X or Amazon endpoints alongside general pages, since one key and one balance cover them, and if you rely on failed requests, blocks and timeouts never being charged. (ScrapeBadger pricing, credits and pricing, checked Oct 11, 2026.)
What a switch must replace
ScrapeBadger charges a proxy surcharge on every request, so its plain and rendered prices depend on the proxy tier; compare an alternative at the tier your targets need, not at its cheapest. A replacement must also cover any dedicated source endpoints you call and return the same fields, and its failure rule decides what a blocked page costs. ScrapeBadger’s own pages disagree on part of the browser price, so check your last invoice before taking the saving in the table at face value.
