## Pricing

Universal Scrape API uses one-time credit purchases. Choose the number of pages to scrape and your rendering and output options. The calculator converts pages into credits, with a minimum purchase of $50. Estimate up to 10,000,000 pages; request a custom quote for larger volumes. No subscription or fixed credit packs are required. Prices are in USD and exclude tax.

Base price: $0.0005 per credit. Minimum purchase: 100,000 credits, costing $50, excluding tax.

### Credits per page

HTML rendering uses 1 credit per page. JavaScript rendering uses 3 credits per page. Markdown output adds 1 credit per page to either rendering mode.

Purchase subtotal = credits × price per credit. Credits per page = rendering credits + Markdown output credits. Estimated pages = floor(purchased credits ÷ credits per page). Remainder credits = purchased credits − estimated pages × credits per page.
