Per request or per GB: which is cheaper?
It depends on how big the pages are. 100,000 requests a month at three page sizes:
| Each response | Decodo (per GB) | Oxylabs | Decodo (per request) | IPRoyal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median page's HTML 21 KB | $45 | $75 | $249 | $70 |
| Oxylabs' trial figure 100 KB | $85 | $325 | $249 | $70 |
| Whole page, as a browser loads it 1,963 KB | Custom | $2,000 | $249 | $70 |
The month's cost on each one's cheapest plan; bold marks the cheapest at that size. Page sizes are HTTP Archive's 2025 desktop medians and Oxylabs' own 1 GB per 10,000 results. Heavier pages favour per-request pricing; for sizing traffic see the proxy bandwidth calculator.
What else should I know about each?
- Bright Data Web Unlocker: One price per successful request, with JavaScript, proxies and CAPTCHAs included.
- Oxylabs Web Unblocker: coupon WU40 takes 40% off for 6 months; the prices here are without it.
- Decodo Site Unblocker: "Traffic or request-based billing"; every plan lists "Results in HTML with JavaScript". Prices exclude VAT.
- IPRoyal Web Unblocker: Request packages priced per 1,000 by package size; above 100,000 requests IPRoyal quotes custom plans. The page doesn't say whether packages renew monthly or when unused requests expire.
- Apify Unblocker: Per request on each Apify plan; the plan's monthly fee is prepaid platform usage, and usage past it goes on the next invoice. The Free plan's $5 of usage stops when spent.
- Anchor Web Unlocker: $5.00 per 1,000 successful fetches from Anchor's plan credits, so its Starter plan's $50 a month covers 10,000 of them. Only responses with status 200 are billed.
- Zyte API prices each site by difficulty: $0.13 to $1.27 per 1,000 HTTP requests and $1.01 to $16.08 with a browser, pay as you go, so it isn't ranked.
Scraping APIs do the same job priced in credits: a protected page (JavaScript and premium proxies) costs 25 credits on ScraperAPI, ScrapingBee, ZenRows and Scrape.do. Compare them on your volume in the scraping cost calculator, or see credit multipliers. Running your own browser instead? See headless browser API pricing and CAPTCHA solver pricing.
