Why Spider costs less
Rust, not Python
Our crawler is written in Rust. A single process handles thousands of concurrent connections. Lower compute cost per page means lower price per page.
No markup on proxies
Most scraping APIs bundle proxy costs into inflated per-page pricing. Spider passes proxy bandwidth through at cost with no hidden margin.
Usage-based, no tiers
No plan tiers, no forced upgrades. You pay for bandwidth and compute. 1 page costs the same whether you crawl 100 or 10 million.
Credits never expire
Every competitor resets your credits monthly. Unused Firecrawl, Apify, or ScrapingBee credits disappear at the end of each billing cycle. Spider credits are yours until you use them.
