Scraping API pricing questions
How much does Spider cost per page?
There is no per-page price. Spider bills $1 per GB of content plus $0.0001 per CPU minute, which works out to about $8 to $15 per 100,000 pages on a mixed workload. That is usually well under Firecrawl, ScrapingBee, and Bright Data at the same volume. No monthly minimum, and your balance never expires.
How do I compare web scraping APIs fairly?
Send the same URLs to each API and compare success rate, latency, and what you paid for the pages that came back. Credit plans make the last number hard to read, because a rendered or protected page can cost many times a plain one. The chart on this page shows all three for Spider, Firecrawl, and Crawl4AI, and each head-to-head post prices a competitor plan against the same workload.
Does Spider have a monthly minimum?
No. Pay as you go has no subscription and no minimum. Top up when you need to. Unlimited is a separate monthly concurrency plan you can pick instead.
Does my Spider balance expire?
No. Your balance never expires. Use it whenever you need to.
What do I pay for a failed request?
