Pricing Update: Feature-Based Billing for Web Scraper API

At Oxylabs, we believe in giving our clients the flexibility and transparency they need to power their data gathering projects. That’s why we’re introducing a new feature-based billing model for Web Scraper API, designed to align costs with your actual usage. This blog post answers the main questions related to this change and explains why it matters to you.

Why are we moving to feature-based billing?

Industry standards are moving towards more transparent, feature-based pricing – and we want to make sure Oxylabs stays in step. To maintain our market leadership and ensure our offering aligns with customers’ needs, we’re adopting a feature-based pricing model for Web Scraper API.

By tying costs directly to the complexity of your web scraping tasks, like target website and rendering requirements, you’ll gain greater cost efficiency and control over your budget.

What’s changed exactly?

No more one-size-fits-all pricing. From now on, you only pay for what you need as pricing adapts to the complexity of your scraping, with rates based on rendering requirements and target type. More specifically, here are the main changes that come with the feature-based billing:

• Different rates for different targets ( Google, Amazon, and other).

• Reduced rates for scraping without JavaScript rendering.

• Free trial with up to 2000 results for an unlimited time to test out the product on your own terms – whenever and however you need.

With the updated pricing model, the number of results you get each month will depend on the target and the subscription plan of your choice. For instance, here’s how many results you’ll get with our free trial:

The numbers listed in each row indicate the maximum number of results you can retrieve when scraping that specific category.

What are the benefits for you?

• More transparent pricing tailored to your specific business needs.

• Greater cost-efficiency – pay less for simple scraping tasks where JavaScript-rendering is not needed.

• Better control and flexibility – no time limit on your free trial, plus the ability to choose only the features you need and adjust your plan as your data gathering project evolves.
