Best for
- RAG ingestion of whole sites
- Agents that need scrape + crawl + search from one balance
Watch-outs
- Credits are shared across endpoints, so JSON-format extraction (+4 credits) can quintuple the per-page cost.
- A returned 403/404 still costs 1 credit.
What we could not verify
- page_protected: Stealth/enhanced proxy credit cost is not stated on the pricing page; not computed.
- plans.Standard/Growth/Scale.price_usd_month: Monthly-billed prices not shown on the page (only annual-billed).
