Methodology
How we compare pricing
Pricing models are not identical. Some providers charge by API credits, some by successful results, some by searches, and some by compute units. To make comparison easier, this page normalizes public pricing into approximate cost per 1,000 credits, searches, results, or endpoint calls where possible. Actual costs depend on the target website, JavaScript rendering, proxy type, browser mode, retry behavior, structured parsing, and whether failed requests are charged.
Included credits / searches / results
The published usage pool before overages, multipliers, or higher-tier commitments.
Effective cost per 1,000 units
A normalized estimate where the vendor publishes enough information to calculate it.
Browser rendering cost
Whether JavaScript rendering, browser mode, screenshots, or interaction changes the unit cost.
Proxy or anti-bot cost
Whether premium proxy, residential proxy, geo-targeting, or challenge-aware behavior changes usage.
Failed request billing
Whether failed, blocked, or non-2xx responses may still consume credits or paid units.
Structured endpoint coverage
Whether the provider returns documented JSON for specific data surfaces or mainly raw HTML.
Rate limits / concurrency
The request throughput, queue behavior, or concurrent browser/session capacity on each plan.
Best-fit use case
The workload where the pricing model is easiest to estimate and operationally useful.

Crawlora unit cost
Crawlora effective cost per 1,000 requests
Crawlora uses endpoint credit weights. Simple endpoints cost fewer credits; heavier targets cost more. This makes pricing easier to estimate before integration.

Use cases
Use-case pricing comparisons
The most useful comparison is not the headline plan price. It is the effective cost for your target, mode, and required output.
Google Search and SERP pricing
For Google Search workflows, compare by cost per 1,000 successful searches or SERPs, not just monthly plan size.
| Provider | Notes |
|---|---|
| Crawlora | Google Search = 3 credits/request; about $0.87 / 1K requests on Growth and $0.30 / 1K requests on Enterprise. |
| Oxylabs | Google listed around $1.00 / 1K successful results on Micro and lower on higher plans. JS-rendered results cost more. |
| SerpApi | Search-focused plans can be significantly more expensive per 1K searches, but include specialized SERP parsing and search engine features. |
| SearchAPI | Developer plan around $4 / 1K searches; search-focused and pay-per-success. |
| DataForSEO | Standard Queue around $0.60 / 1K SERPs; Priority Queue around $1.20 / 1K SERPs; queue-based workflow. |
Crawlora's advantage is not only Google Search cost. It is that Google Search is part of a broader structured API catalog covering search, marketplaces, apps, social, maps, business, and finance data.
Amazon and marketplace pricing
For marketplace data, compare whether the provider returns structured product/search data or only raw HTML.
| Provider | Notes |
|---|---|
| Crawlora | Amazon product = 2 credits/request; about $0.58 / 1K requests on Growth and $0.20 / 1K requests on Enterprise. |
| Oxylabs | Amazon successful results start around $0.50 / 1K on Micro and lower on higher plans. |
| ScrapingBee | Has general scraping and dedicated APIs; real request cost depends on JS/proxy/domain multipliers. |
| ScraperAPI | General scraping with structured-data support in some areas; real request cost depends on credit multipliers and target. |
| ZenRows | Basic vs protected-result limits and JS/proxy combinations affect real cost. |
Browser-rendered and difficult-site pricing
Browser rendering, premium proxies, residential IPs, stealth modes, and anti-bot protection can change the real price dramatically. Crawlora's goal is to expose structured endpoints with transparent endpoint weights wherever possible.
| Provider | Notes |
|---|---|
| Crawlora | Browser-backed execution where supported, endpoint weight published. |
| ScrapingBee | Browser/premium/stealth/Google multipliers. |
| ScraperAPI | Feature and domain multipliers. |
| ZenRows | Basic vs protected results; JS and premium proxy multipliers. |
| Zyte | Browser-rendered requests priced by difficulty tier. |
| Bright Data | Pay per successful Web Unlocker result. |
| Scrapfly | Credits vary by browser, proxy, and anti-scraping protection configuration. |
Hidden costs
The real cost depends on what each provider counts
Most scraping API pricing pages advertise credits, searches, or results. The real cost depends on the target, JavaScript rendering, proxy type, anti-bot mode, retries, structured parsing, and whether failed requests are charged.
Credit multipliers
Check whether JavaScript rendering, premium proxy, stealth, Google, Amazon, LinkedIn, screenshots, or browser mode consumes more credits.
Successful-result billing
Check whether only 2xx responses are billed, or whether 4xx/status-specific responses may count.
Browser rendering
Browser execution is often much more expensive than raw HTTP.
Proxy type
Datacenter, residential, ISP, mobile, premium proxy, and geo-targeted proxy costs can differ greatly.
Runtime and compute
Workflow platforms may charge for CPU/RAM/runtime, not just requests.
Overage and rollovers
Check whether unused credits roll over and whether overage is blocked, prepaid, or automatic.
Features
Feature comparison
Feature availability can vary by endpoint, target, plan, and configuration. Always test your actual target before committing to a plan.

FAQ
Pricing comparison FAQ
Common questions about Crawlora credits, competitor comparisons, and when another pricing model may fit better.
Why do credits differ from requests?+
A request can consume different numbers of credits depending on the endpoint. Simple lookup endpoints cost fewer credits, while heavier endpoints such as Google Maps search, TikTok search, or LinkedIn company data cost more. Crawlora publishes endpoint weights so you can estimate usage before integration.
Do failed Crawlora requests cost credits?+
Crawlora's pricing page states that successful 2xx responses consume credits by endpoint weight. Utility endpoints are marked separately in API docs when they are not charged.
Is Crawlora cheaper than ScraperAPI?+
It depends on the target and features used. Crawlora's advantage is transparent endpoint pricing and low entry plans. ScraperAPI offers general scraping infrastructure, but real request cost can depend on domain and feature multipliers.
Is Crawlora cheaper than SerpApi?+
For Google Search-style requests, Crawlora can be much cheaper on a per-1,000-request basis because Google Search is priced at 3 credits/request. SerpApi is a specialized search engine API provider with dedicated SERP features, so the best choice depends on whether you need a SERP-only provider or a broader structured API catalog.
Is Crawlora a replacement for Apify?+
Not always. Apify is a broad actor and workflow platform with compute, storage, scheduling, proxy options, and a marketplace. Crawlora is better when you want direct structured API endpoints without running or configuring actors.
Why do some competitors look cheaper per credit?+
A credit is not always a request. On many platforms, JavaScript rendering, premium proxies, browser mode, screenshots, high-cost domains, or protected targets can multiply credit usage. The best comparison is the effective cost per 1,000 successful requests for your exact target.
When should I choose a dedicated SERP API instead of Crawlora?+
Choose a dedicated SERP API when your whole workload is search-engine data and you need advanced SERP-specific functionality. Choose Crawlora when you want search plus marketplaces, apps, social, maps, business, and finance data under one API catalog.
What is the biggest pricing advantage of Crawlora?+
Crawlora publishes endpoint credit weights and plan credit pools, making it easier to estimate cost before integration. This is especially useful for teams building repeatable data workflows across many platforms.
