20 concurrent requests per token by default, shared across subscribed Crawlbase products. Higher limits require contacting support and are not priced here. This is not an account-wide ceiling or measured requests per second.

Quoted concurrency conditions
Concurrent requests / 20 / per tokenContext: Default limits. Limit / Default / Scope. Every account starts with the same generous defaults. You don't need to ask for these - they're already on every token the moment you sign up.Read 2026-09-08

Monthly subscriptions, before tax. Annual discounts and extra-credit purchases are excluded. A dash means the page states a price without stating that figure beside it, not that the plan has none.
The last column is ours, not theirs: the tier price divided by its credit allowance, times the quoted Standard request credit cost. It assumes the full allowance is used. The workload calculator includes the cost of credits you buy but leave unused.
Whose network is underneath
Not established
A scraping API is a storefront over somebody’s proxy pool. This one does not say whose. We looked twice: through its pricing, about and FAQ pages, and then through the places a supplier has to be named for data-protection reasons — subprocessor, trust, security and privacy pages. Neither names a network. That is not the same as there being no upstream.
It matters because ethics do not stop at the vendor boundary. In July 2026 the FBI seized a residential proxy platform built on roughly two million consumer devices enrolled with little or no meaningful consent, and that network was resold under other brands. A clean storefront can sit on top of one.
- Billed in
- credits
- Request billing
- Billing requires cb_status 200 and a listed target status, including 404 and 410. A 302 must return content after the redirect. Custom success-code overrides are outside this estimate.
Billing policy and source
Billable requests Crawlbase only charges requests where cb_status is 200 and original_status is one of: Code Meaning 200 OK 201 Created 204 No Content 301 Moved Permanently 302 Found - only when the redirect was followed and returned content 404 Not Found 410 Gone Any other original_status is free, and so is any non- 200 cb_status. Use this list when reconciling a usage invoice against your application logs.

What one unit of work costs
A credit is not a price until you know what it buys, and the same plan charges different amounts for different work.
- Standard request
- 1 credit per request
Standard site tier; excludes screenshots and storage. Counts billable responses under Crawlbase's status definition, including 404 and 410; excludes custom_success_codes overrides.
Credit price read 2026-09-08 - JavaScript rendering on a standard site
- 2 credits per request
One standard-site credit multiplied by the stated rendering factor of two. Other site tiers cost more; screenshots and storage are excluded. Counts billable responses under Crawlbase's status definition, including 404 and 410; excludes custom_success_codes overrides. Scrolling is excluded: its processing time can count as multiple billed requests. Rendering price sources disagree: this estimate uses the pricing page's factor of two, while the endpoint introduction states the same price for both paths.

Questions
Does Crawlbase ask for ID to sign up?
Crawlbase does not state what it asks for at sign-up, and we have not been able to establish it from its own pages. That is a fact about the provider rather than a gap in the roster, and it is shown as one above.
How can you pay Crawlbase?
Card. No cryptocurrency option is published, so a card or an equivalent named payment is the route in. Payment methods come off the provider's own checkout and are dated with the rest of the record.
Where does Crawlbase get its addresses?
Crawlbase is a scraping API rather than a proxy network: you send it a URL and it returns the page, using infrastructure it does not itemise. There is no residential pool of its own to disclose, so this site records no sourcing model for it and does not count it among the providers that will not say.
Does Crawlbase offer a trial or a refund?
Trial: 1,000 free credits. Both are quoted from the provider's own terms rather than summarised, because a paraphrase of a refund window is the kind of precision nobody should take from us.
