ScraperAPI vs Scrape.do vs ScrapeOps in 2026

What 100,000 JavaScript pages cost in a month

Plans sell credits, and a rendered page takes several. 100,000 rendered pages need 1,000,000 ScraperAPI credits, the Startup plan at $149. On Scrape.do they need 500,000 credits, past Hobby's 250,000, so the Pro plan at $99. On ScrapeOps they need 1,000,000 credits, the $99 plan of 1,250,000. On SpecStream they cost $80, and a page that gives no text costs nothing.

For plain pages that load without a browser, each of the three is cheaper per page on paper: $0.12 to $0.49 per 1,000 when every credit is used in the month. SpecStream's $0.80 holds for every page, on any site, from a balance that stays until you spend it.

Keep the ScraperAPI and Scrape.do calls

Each call changes its address and keeps its parameters and its parser. Both carry the same SpecStream key, where theirs went.

# ScraperAPI: was https://api.scraperapi.com
curl -G https://api.specstream.ai/scraperapi \
  --data-urlencode "api_key=$SPECSTREAM_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping" \
  --data-urlencode "output_format=markdown"

# Scrape.do: was https://api.scrape.do
curl -G https://api.specstream.ai/scrapedo \
  --data-urlencode "token=$SPECSTREAM_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping" \
  --data-urlencode "output=markdown"

The parameter tables are in the ScraperAPI migration guide and the Scrape.do migration guide.

A ScrapeOps call on the Extract API

ScrapeOps sends each request on to one of 20+ scraping APIs and bills its own credits for it. SpecStream reads the page itself. The call becomes a POST with up to 20 URLs, and each result carries url, status and the page's main text.

# ScrapeOps: was GET https://proxy.scrapeops.io/v1/?api_key=&url=
curl https://api.specstream.ai/v1/extract \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPECSTREAM_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls": ["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping"], "format": "markdown"}'

Check the price on your own pages

ScraperAPI returns the credits a call took in its sa-credit-cost header, and Scrape.do in its Scrape.do-Request-Cost header. On SpecStream every charged reply carries X-Balance-Cents, an Extract API reply carries price_usd, and GET https://api.specstream.ai/v1/account/requests lists each call with its price. Send the same 100 URLs through each and compare the totals.

Scores published on official benchmarks

The SpecStream Extract API scores 0.908 F1 on WCXB. The Search API scores a 97.9 F-score on all 1,000 official SimpleQA Verified questions and 64.0 item F1 on all 200 WideSearch tasks. The scores and the method are at specstream.ai/benchmarks.

Search, crawls and rows on the same key

A scraper reads the pages you already know. The same key finds them: the Search API at $5 per 1,000 searches, POST /v1/map for a site's links and POST /v1/crawl for a whole site, each page with text at the page price. Deep Search returns every match on the live web as structured rows at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a row, and a saved request reruns hourly to yearly with each row labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching.

Firecrawl

Scrape, crawl and search by monthly credits: Hobby is $19 a month for 5,000 credits, and a 403 or 404 page costs 1 credit. SpecStream answers Firecrawl v2 scrape, map and crawl at https://api.specstream.ai/firecrawl, at $0.0008 a page.

ScrapingBee

Hobby is $19 a month for 75,000 credits, and each request with JavaScript rendering costs 5. SpecStream answers ScrapingBee's call at https://api.specstream.ai/scrapingbee/api/v1/, at one price for every page.

Scrapfly

Discovery is $30 a month for 200,000 credits, and render_js adds 5 credits a call. SpecStream answers Scrapfly's call at https://api.specstream.ai/scrapfly/scrape, at $0.80 per 1,000 pages.
