Free tier with 1K monthly credits, plus a 7-day trial that gives you 5K upfront—no card required.

ScraperAPI's free plan hands you 1,000 API credits every month indefinitely, with geotargeting, JavaScript rendering, proxy rotation, and CAPTCHA solving included. The 7-day trial bumps you to 5,000 credits upfront so you can stress-test before committing. Both tiers support up to 5 concurrent connections and email support. The catch: free credits are metered and don't renew if unused—they expire monthly. You'll hit the ceiling fast on production workloads, but it's genuinely useful for prototyping scrapers or validating a data-collection idea before spending real money.
