Grabber

Pricing

Pay for pages, not plans

$0.001 per page, or $0.005 when the page needs JavaScript. No subscription, no monthly minimum, and you never pay for a request that failed.

  • $1 free credit, no card
  • No subscription
  • Failed requests are free

Two prices. That is the whole list.

Every request takes its price from your prepaid credit. Formats, metadata and redirects are included.

Most pages are server-rendered. Single-page apps that build the page in the browser need js_render=true.

No subscription: you buy credit when you need it. The $1.00 you get at signup covers your first 1,000 pages.

Never on your bill

Failed requests

Timeouts, blocked addresses, pages that would not load and Grabber's own failures all cost $0. You pay for a page only when you get it.

Subscriptions

No plan, no seats and no monthly minimum. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to downgrade.

Card fees

Grabber pays Stripe's fee, so $25 paid is $25 of credit.

Extra formats

Markdown, HTML, text and links in one request cost the same as one of them: it is one page load.

Pricing questions

Something else? The docs cover every parameter and error, and you can reach us from the dashboard.

Is there a monthly minimum or subscription?

No. Grabber is prepaid. You add credit when you want it, from $5, and each request takes its price from that credit. There is no plan, no monthly minimum and nothing to cancel.

Can I pay for a single request?

Yes. Every request is billed on its own: $0.001 for a page, or $0.005 when JavaScript rendering is on. New accounts get $1 of free credit, enough for 1,000 pages, with no credit card.

Am I charged for failed requests?

No. You pay only for a page that was loaded. Any error, such as a timeout, a blocked address or a page that could not be reached, costs nothing. A page whose own server answered 404 or 500 still counts as loaded, because you get its content and its status code.

What happens when my credit runs out?

Requests answer 402 with a link to add credit, and nothing is charged. Turn on auto top-up and your balance is refilled before it runs out.

Do credits expire?

Credit is valid for 365 days after you add it. Every response carries X-Grabber-Cost and X-Grabber-Balance headers, and the dashboard lists each request with its cost.

Do I get an invoice?

Yes. Every payment has an invoice on the Billing page of the dashboard.
