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. - **Value for money: C.** Starter 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 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. - **Features: B.** Scrape, extract, search, crawl, monitors and fetch options in one API. The listing names no gap in the core job. - **Ease of use: D.** No store rating on record. It is an API: you write the calls and manage credits. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web API only, with no integrations or SDKs listed on the pages we read. These are ToolGPA's own grades.
