Scrapfly pricing starts at $30 a month for 200,000 credits and runs through $100 for 1,000,000, $250 for 2,500,000 and $500 for 5,500,000, with 1,000 free credits to test. A plain request is 1 credit, rendering or the Unblocker is 5, residential proxies 25 and a screenshot 60, so the same $100 plan buys anywhere from 16,000 to 1,000,000 pages. Failed requests are never charged.

The plans
| Plan | Monthly | Credits | Concurrency | Rate per 1,000 credits | Overflow and log retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1,000 once | n/a | n/a | No card, no time limit, testing only |
| Discovery | $30 | 200,000 | 5 | $0.15 | No overflow, 1 week of logs |
| Pro | $100 | 1,000,000 | 20 | $0.10 | $3.50 per 10,000 extra, 2 weeks |
| Startup | $250 | 2,500,000 | 50 | $0.10 | $2.00 per 10,000 extra, 3 weeks, team management |
| Enterprise | $500 | 5,500,000 | 100 | $0.09 | $1.20 per 10,000 extra, 4 weeks, premium support |
| Custom | Quoted | 6,000,000 and up | Committed | Negotiated | Contract, dedicated residential pools, 24/7 support |
The step that matters is Discovery to Pro: five times the credits and four times the concurrency for a bit more than three times the price. Pro and Startup share the same $0.10 rate, so Startup is only worth it when you outgrow 1,000,000 credits and want the cheaper overflow rate or team seats. Scrapfly lets you downgrade or cancel at any time, with the change applied at the end of the billing period.
The meter
| Request type | Credits |
|---|---|
| HTTP scrape on a datacenter IP | 1 |
| Plus JavaScript rendering, or the Unblocker | 5 |
| Plus residential proxies | 25 |
| Full-page screenshot | 60 |
| Failed request | 0 |
Scrapfly publishes a fuller matrix in its documentation for the cloud browser, crawler and extraction products, so read that before budgeting for them. The pattern is the same as every credit API: the sticker price is the cheapest request, and a modern shop or directory behind bot protection is closer to 5 or 25 credits per page.
Real pages
| Plan | Plain pages (1) | Rendered or Unblocker (5) | Residential (25) | Screenshots (60) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery $30 | 200,000 | 40,000 | 8,000 | 3,333 |
| Pro $100 | 1,000,000 | 200,000 | 40,000 | 16,666 |
| Startup $250 | 2,500,000 | 500,000 | 100,000 | 41,666 |
| Enterprise $500 | 5,500,000 | 1,100,000 | 220,000 | 91,666 |
Worked bills
15,000 pages a month at 5 credits is 75,000 credits, so Discovery at $30 is plenty. That is a very low meter. What $30 does not include is the parser, the schedule, a table with history and the person who fixes it after a redesign.
60,000 pages at 25 credits is 1,500,000 credits. Pro at $100 plus 500,000 overflow credits (50 blocks of 10,000 at $3.50) is $275, so Startup at $250 is the cheaper fit. The same 2,000 records a day on WebRobot is about 60,000 records a month inside Scale at $249, delivered as named columns.
20,000 captures at 60 credits is 1,200,000 credits: Pro at $100 plus 20 overflow blocks at $3.50 is $170, against $250 for Startup. Screenshots are the quiet budget killer, because one capture costs as much as 12 rendered pages.
Importers and merchants often scrape product catalogs to price a landed cost, and the next step is looking up HS codes for scraped products before the duty line goes into the sheet. Neither step is in the credit bill above.
Compare
| Tool | Entry paid plan | What the meter counts | Who does the parsing and scheduling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scrapfly | $30, 200,000 credits | Credits per request, 1 to 60 by options | You, with an optional extraction API |
| Scrapingdog | $40, 200,000 credits | Credits per request, 1 to 50 | You (Scrapingdog pricing) |
| ScrapingBee | $49, 250,000 credits | Credits per request, JavaScript on by default | You (ScrapingBee pricing) |
| ZenRows | $19, 45,000 credits | Credits, 5 rendered, 25 with premium | You (ZenRows pricing) |
| Oxylabs | $49 Web Scraper API | Results per 1,000 by target | You (Oxylabs pricing) |
| WebRobot | $79 Launch, 10,000 records | Rows delivered, whatever the site needs | We do: named columns, schedule, Sheets or API, alerts on Scale |
On raw price Scrapfly is among the cheapest entry points in the category, and we say so plainly. WebRobot costs more per unit because a record is a finished row, with the scheduler, retries and delivery done. If you are weighing the two, the ScraperAPI alternative page walks through the same trade, and the web scraping API page shows how our records arrive as JSON.
Fit
Buy Discovery or Pro
A developer, a script that already runs and a few thousand pages a day. Pro is the sweet spot, and its overflow keeps a spike from stopping the job.
Buy Startup or Enterprise
You run residential or browser sessions at volume, need 50 to 100 concurrent requests, or want team seats and longer logs for several engineers.
Skip the API
Nobody on the team writes code, or the data must land in a sheet every morning with an alert when a number moves. That is what competitor price monitoring on WebRobot is for, from the $79 Launch plan.
