ScrapingAnt review68 of 100, fair
10,000 free credits every month without a card, Enthusiast at $19 for 100,000, and no concurrency cap on any plan.
Reviewed 2026-09-18 by Phillip Paul Inker. Facts re-read 2026-09-18. 2 sources. scrapingant.com. Brand searches: 880 a month worldwide (Google, read 2026-09-18).
The largest free monthly allowance in this database and the only vendor promising unlimited parallel requests on every tier. What it does not print on the pages we read is the credit cost of rendering or residential proxies, so the per-1,000 figure holds for plain requests only.
Best for: Small projects that fit inside 10,000 requests a month, and anyone who refuses a concurrency cap.
Enthusiast is $19 a month for 100,000 credits, $0.19 per 1,000; Startup $49 for 500,000, $0.10; Business $249 for 3,000,000, $0.08; Business Pro $599 for 8,000,000, $0.07; Custom from $699 for 10,000,000 and up.
Headless Chrome rendering, 3M+ rotating proxies across 100+ countries with per-request rotation, residential and datacenter pools, AI extraction and an MCP server, per the homepage.
Unlimited parallel requests and no concurrency cap on any plan, pay only for successful requests; no success rate or latency figure.
The documentation names Python, Node.js, PHP and Java, Playwright and Puppeteer, an MCP server and n8n.
Plans and credits are public; the credit cost of a rendered or residential request was not on the pages read, so the plan size cannot be converted to pages for those modes.
10,000 free credits every month with no card and successful-only billing; refund terms were not on the pages read.

What the homepage says
Pricing sits on the homepage: Enthusiast $19 a month for 100,000 credits, Startup $49 for 500,000, Business $249 for 3,000,000, Business Pro $599 for 8,000,000, and a Custom line from $699 for 10,000,000 and more. Every tier includes the 10,000 free credits to start, and the free allowance repeats every month without a card. Two promises run through the page: pay only for successful requests, and unlimited parallel requests with no concurrency cap on any plan.
What was not readable
The documentation hub has a section titled API credits cost, but the table itself was not on the pages our reader could fetch, and the FAQ address returned 404. Until it is read, the per-1,000 figures above apply to plain requests; a rendered or residential request will cost more credits, by a multiplier we cannot quote.
Integration and terms
The documentation names Python, Node.js, PHP and Java, Playwright and Puppeteer, an MCP server and n8n. Terms: no card for the free tier, successful-only billing. A refund policy was not on the pages read.
Questions people ask
Is the free tier monthly?
Yes, 10,000 free credits every month with no card, per the homepage.
Is there a concurrency limit?
The homepage states unlimited parallel requests and no concurrency cap on any plan.
How many credits does a rendered page cost?
Not on the pages read; the documentation's credit-cost table did not load for our reader.
- The credit cost of rendered and residential requests was not on the pages read.
- Refund terms were not on the pages read.
- The per-1,000 figures are the plan price divided by its credits, our arithmetic on the vendor's numbers.

Other scrapers
Scrape.dosubscriptionThe most legible pricing in this database: the plan card prints the price per 1,000 credits, the documentation prints what each request type and each named domain costs, and only successful requests count. A 99.98% success figure on the homepage is a claim, not a method.
Decodoper requestThe pricing table answers the question every other vendor makes you compute: standard proxies, standard with JavaScript, premium proxies, premium with JavaScript, each priced per 1,000 requests on each plan, with the rate limit beside it. A free starter plan and a 14-day money-back line finish it.
ScrapingBeesubscriptionThe credit table is the review: a plain request is one credit, the default headless-browser request five, premium proxies ten, both together twenty-five, stealth proxies seventy-five. Cheap for plain fetches, ordinary once JavaScript and premium proxies are on.
