Why we developed the Core plans

Scraping API solutions can often feel like they’re built for either one extreme or the other – overly complex for basic needs or too simplistic to grow with you. After listening to your feedback, we realized the market was missing a solution that’s simple, scalable, and affordable without compromising on quality, and our Core plans are here to fill that gap. Whether you're a developer managing a small-scale project or a tech team looking for efficient scraping at a lower cost, the Core plan is the perfect fit.
