The problem with opaque credits
A plan that looks inexpensive can become several times more expensive once rendering or premium networks are required. Teams discover the real bill only after a pilot.
What we publish instead
DataForGAIO lists dollar prices: $0.00012 for a standard page, $0.01 for browser rendering, $0 for blocked or skipped fetches. The receipt on every response includes billed_usd so finance and engineering see the same number.
How to compare fairly
When you evaluate paid crawl APIs, convert their credit rules into an effective $/page for the workloads you actually run — plain pages and protected pages separately. Our compare pages do that with dated footnotes.
