Best for AI scraping API billed in credits
ScrapeGraphAI is an API for scraping, extracting, searching and crawling pages, billed in credits. The free plan is a one-time grant of 500 credits that does not renew, and Starter is $20 a month for 10,000. How far credits go depends on the endpoint and stealth option, so the real monthly cost is hard to guess.
Who ScrapeGraphAI is for
- Fits if you want one API for scraping and AI extraction and can code
- Works for small tests, since packs of credits never expire
Who ScrapeGraphAI is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 500 credits is one time and does not come back each month
- Watch out: credit use varies by endpoint and stealth option, so cost per request is not fixed
- Watch out: the Starter limit is 100 requests a minute, 3 concurrent crawls and 5 monitors
- Skip it if you want integrations: none are listed
- Watch out: the Yearly toggle showed the same prices as Monthly when read
Why ScrapeGraphAI gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyStarter is $20 a month for 10,000 credits, a hair above the $19 cheaper-quarter start for data APIs. Packs run $5 for 1,000 credits and never expire.
- CFree plan and trialA free plan of 500 credits, one time only; they do not renew. No card is mentioned, but it is a trial grant, not a free tier.
- BFeaturesScrape, extract, search, crawl, monitors and fetch options in one API. The listing names no gap in the core job.
- DEase of useNo store rating on record. It is an API: you write the calls and manage credits.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb API only, with no integrations or SDKs listed on the pages we read.

Keep ScrapeGraphAI, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing ScrapeGraphAI does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 42 of the 56 other SERP and SEO data APIs grade higher. It costs $240 a year.
What you could not
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. ScrapeGraphAI’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is ScrapeGraphAI?
ScrapeGraphAI is an API that converts web pages to markdown or HTML and extracts structured data from them using natural-language prompts. It also offers search, crawl and page-change monitoring endpoints. Plans are monthly credit allowances, with one-time credit packs on top.
Worth knowing
- The Free plan is a one-time 500-credit grant, not a monthly allowance.
- Credit use varies by endpoint and by the stealth option, so the monthly cost depends on the mix of requests.
- Credit packs are $5 for 1,000, $40 for 10,000 and $150 for 50,000; they never expire and stack on a subscription.
- The pricing page has a Yearly toggle, but it showed the same prices as Monthly when read.
Key features
- Scrape
- Converts a URL to markdown, HTML, a screenshot or branding analysis, costing 1 credit for markdown, 2 for a screenshot and 25 for branding.
- Extract
- Pulls structured data from a page using a natural-language prompt, at a base cost of 5 credits.
- Search and crawl
- Search costs 2 credits per result, or 5 with a prompt. Crawl costs 2 credits to start plus the per-page scrape cost.
- Monitors
- Watches a page for changes and notifies a webhook, costing 5 extra credits when a change is detected.
- Fetch options
- Render mode (auto, fast or JS) does not change the cost; the stealth toggle for anti-bot bypass adds 5 credits.
