Oxylabs pricing for the Web Scraper API starts at $49 a month on Micro and runs to $2,000 on Corporate. Each plan is a prepaid balance spent per 1,000 successful results, and the rate depends on the site: $0.50 for Amazon, $1.00 for Google, $1.15 for other sites and $1.35 when a page needs JavaScript rendering, all on Micro. So $49 buys anywhere from about 36,000 to 98,000 results. Proxies are priced separately, per GB or per IP.

Media downloads (images and video) are billed per GB on top, from $3 on Micro down to $0.95 on Corporate. Top-ups let you buy more at your plan's rate before renewal: up to $249 on Micro, $499 on Starter through Business, and $2,000 on Corporate. Scheduler, batch queries, cloud delivery to S3 or GCS, custom parsers and the OxyCopilot parser builder are included on every plan, and 24/7 support is on all of them. A dedicated account manager starts at Business.

Oxylabs' own example is worth repeating: the Micro plan's 98,000 results assume you scrape only Amazon without rendering. Split the same $49 across Amazon, eBay and Walmart (with rendering) and you get about 16,000 results per target. A result is one request, not one row, so a search page with 40 products is a single result, while a product page you need for seller or stock is one result per product. The Walmart scraper and Amazon scraper pages list which fields sit on which page.
Proxies
Starter $30 for 5 GB ($6.00), Basic $100 for 20 GB ($5.00), Advanced $500 for 125 GB ($4.00), Corporate $2,500 for 1 TB ($2.50). Top-ups go up to 100 GB on Starter and up to 2 TB on Advanced and Corporate.
Shared IPs from $1.20 each (10 IPs, $12) down to $0.70 at 3,000 IPs. Dedicated IPs from $2.25 each (3 IPs, $6.75) down to $1.20 at 1,000. Pay per traffic instead from $0.59 per GB (20 GB, $11.80) down to $0.44 per GB at 2 TB.
Shared ISP: $16 for 10 IPs ($1.60), $130 for 100 ($1.30), $600 for 500 ($1.20). Dedicated ISP: $16 for 5 IPs ($3.20), $270 for 100 ($2.70), $750 for 300 ($2.50). Larger pools are quoted.
Web Unblocker lists at $75 for 8 GB ($9.40) up to $3,500 for 700 GB ($5.00); code WU40 takes 40 percent off for six months, which is where the "from $3 per GB" headline comes from. Headless Browser is $300 for 50 GB ($6.00), $550 for 100 GB ($5.50) and $1,410 for 300 GB ($4.70).
The trap with per-GB products is that you pay for every byte, including failed requests, retries and pages that come back as a block screen. A product page with images can weigh several megabytes, so 1 GB can be a few hundred pages, not tens of thousands, unless you block images and scripts. That is the reason the success-billed API usually works out cheaper for a team that only wants the data.
Worked bills
9,000 rendered product pages at $1.35 per 1,000 is about $12 of usage. You still pay the $49 Micro minimum, so the effective rate is about $5.40 per 1,000. Cheap on the meter, with the parsing and the sheet still to build.
15,000 result pages at $1.00 is $15, inside Micro. Go ten result pages deep for each keyword and it is 150,000 results, $150 at the Micro rate, which means Starter at $99 plus a top-up, or Advanced.
60,000 rendered results. At the Micro rate that is $81, more than the plan holds, so Starter at $99 ($78 of usage at $1.30) is the right tier with a little room left.
1.5 million results. Venture's $499 covers about 1.35 million at $0.37, so you either top up around $56 or move to Business at $999, where the same volume uses $450 and leaves room for growth and an account manager.
None of these include the developer. Oxylabs returns the page, or parsed JSON for the targets it has parsers for. Turning that into your columns, running it on a schedule, storing history and alerting someone when a number changes is your code. If the rival activity you care about is ads and site changes rather than product rows, a tool built to track competitor ads and website changes saves writing that part at all.
Compare
| Tool | Entry paid plan | What the meter counts | Who does the parsing and scheduling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oxylabs | $49 Micro | Dollars per 1,000 successful results, by target and rendering | You, with parsers for major targets |
| Bright Data | Pay as you go | $1.50 per 1,000 records, or per GB for proxies | Split (Bright Data pricing) |
| ScraperAPI | $49, 100,000 credits | Credits per request, 1 to 75 by site and options | You (ScraperAPI pricing) |
| Zyte API | Pay as you go | Per 1,000 responses, tier set by Zyte per site | You (Zyte pricing) |
| Apify | $19 Starter | Compute units, proxies and per-result actor fees | Actor author, you schedule (Apify pricing) |
| WebRobot | $79 Launch, 10,000 records | Rows delivered, whatever the site | We do: named columns, schedule, Sheets or API, alerts on Scale |
On raw volume Oxylabs is cheaper, and at Business and Corporate it is among the lowest per-result rates in this table. WebRobot costs more per unit because a record is a finished row in your sheet, with scheduler, parser, retries and delivery done, and the price does not change when a site needs rendering or a login. If you have a developer and a pipeline, Oxylabs is a sound buy. If you have a spreadsheet and a deadline, the web scraping API page shows how our records arrive as JSON, and pricing has the plan limits.
Fit
What gets billed
API responses with 2xx and 4xx codes are billed; 5xx and 6xx failures on Oxylabs' side are not. A stale URL list that returns 404s still spends your balance.
Refunds
Self-service only, requested within 3 calendar days of the first payment, with no more than 20 percent used and no earlier refund or chargeback. Up to 15 business days to arrive.
Promotions
Discount codes are time-boxed. Budget at the list price, and treat the Unblocker's six-month 40 percent code as a bonus, not the rate you will pay in month seven.
Buy Micro or Starter
A developer testing a scraper against a few targets, under about 75,000 rendered pages a month.
Buy Venture or Business
Hundreds of thousands to millions of results a month, where the per-result rate matters more than the entry price, and you want an account manager.
Skip the API
Nobody on the team writes code, the data has to land in a sheet every morning, or someone needs a Slack alert when a competitor price moves. That is what competitor price monitoring on WebRobot is for, and the Etsy scraper and eBay scraper pages show it per marketplace.
