You pay when Scraipe has to think, or when a page needs a residential network.

Everything else is free: cache hits, unchanged pages, reused extractors, and our own servers. Blocks and failures are never billed.

When a site blocks cloud servers, Scraipe reroutes under the same honest name and charges only if the page comes back.

repairs

A repair relearns a layout after a redesign: 1 credit each.

How we calculated this

credits = layouts × (1 + repairs)
        + pages × (1 − unchanged)
          × (resiHTML × 0.05 + resiRender × 0.20)
        = 50 × 1.1 + 100,000 × 0.70 × 0.011
        = 55 + 770 = 825 credits → $8.25 a month

Where others are cheaper: one-off residential browser renders of hostile sites. Bright Data ($1.30–1.50 per 1k) and Firecrawl ($0.60–0.99 per 1k) beat our $2.00. Scraipe is built for pages you visit more than once.

Your agent can't overspend

Credits are prepaid, so spending stops at zero: no subscription, no auto-recharge. Blocks and failures are never billed, and any request can be priced before it runs.

Prepaid credits: stops at 0
Auto-recharge: none
Residential networks: after first purchase
egress: "direct": never pays for a network
POST /v1/quote: price it first

Questions

Something else? support@scraipe.co

What is a credit?

The unit Scraipe bills in: one credit is $0.01. Learning a layout costs 1 credit; a residential page costs 0.05 (0.15 over 256 KB) and a residential browser render 0.20, only when the page comes back.

Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire.

What happens at 0 credits?

Cached pages, unchanged pages and reused extractors still work, and so do read and map on our servers. Learning new layouts and residential pages pause: the API answers 402 with the estimated cost.

When is residential used, and can I turn it off?

Only when a site blocks our servers, and only after your first purchase; it is charged only if the page comes back. Send egress: "direct" to keep a request on our servers.

Refunds?

Blocked and failed requests are never charged. Questions about a purchase: support@scraipe.co.

Invoices and tax?

Usage estimates are in USD. Credit packs are charged in the currency shown for that pack at checkout. Receipts and invoices are in the Stripe billing portal: open it from Billing.

Is this a subscription?

No. Prepaid packs, bought when you need them.

How the tiers work: How Scraipe works.

Your agent's next 10,000 pages could cost less than its first 10.
