PRICING

Priced by how hard the target is, not how many pages it has.

Four plans, each with a volume cap and a published overage rate. What decides your number is the difficulty of the sites on your list — so every engagement starts with an assessment and a real sample before you commit.

NOT SELF-SERVE YET Every plan begins with a scoping conversation. Published, self-serve billing arrives with the API.

PLANS

Four ways in

Prices below are what you pay for the plan. What sits inside a plan is scoped with you first — because a target list is the only honest input to a quote.

BILLING You are billed on delivered, schema-passing records. Blocks, retries, timeouts, and failed runs are our cost — they never appear on your invoice.

WHAT MOVES THE NUMBER

Difficulty, not volume, decides the price

The same 100,000 records can be a routine job or months of reverse-engineering work depending entirely on what is guarding the page. Every target you send us is placed in one of these three tiers before anything is quoted.

  • Open

    from $0.80 / 1k records

    Server-rendered pages with no meaningful defenses. The data is in the markup; the work is normalising it.

  • Rendered

    from $2 / 1k records

    JavaScript execution, infinite scroll, virtualised lists, per-device markup. The page has to run before it can be read.

  • Defended

    quoted per target

    Akamai, DataDome, and PerimeterX-class protection: TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprinting, JS challenges, behavioural scoring. Reverse-engineering work, priced as such — and available on Atlas.

What each tier actually means at the wire:

target difficulty select a tier

The data is already in the page — the work is tidying it up.

defended targets are quoted, never rate-carded

THE PROCESS

Three steps, no procurement theatre

  1. Tell us your targets

    Which sites, which fields, how often, and where the data needs to land. A few sentences and a couple of example URLs is enough — you do not need a spec document.

  2. We assess and sample

    An engineer places each target in a difficulty tier, tells you plainly what extraction involves, and delivers real records from your real sources — before any commitment.

  3. Pick a plan, or get a quote

    Open and Rendered targets fit the published plans. Defended targets are quoted against scope on Atlas. Either way you have seen real output before committing.

Build fee, per source

A one-time charge covering the reverse-engineering and pipeline work for each new source. On an annual commitment, half of it is credited against your first three months.

Open $300 – $600
Rendered $800 – $1,500
Defended $2,500 – $5,000

QUESTIONS

What people ask before scoping

Why is there a build fee on top of the monthly price?

Because the first extraction of a source is engineering work — reading the page, getting through what guards it, and mapping it to your schema — while the monthly price covers running and maintaining it afterwards. Folding one into the other would mean either overcharging steady customers or undercharging new sources.

What happens when I go over my volume cap?

You are billed the overage rate for the records above it, at the tier those records came from. We flag it on the run that crosses the line rather than at the end of the month, so a cap is never a surprise.

Why are defended targets quoted instead of listed?

Because an honest per-1,000 rate needs someone to have looked at the target first. Two sites behind the same commercial bot-defense platform can differ by an order of magnitude in effort. We assess yours, then quote it.

Is this self-serve? Can I sign up and start?

Not yet, and we would rather say so here than after you have entered a card. Every plan starts with a short conversation and a sample. The self-serve API is still being built.

What if a target turns out to be impossible?

We tell you immediately, stop billing for that source, and either re-engineer access or remove it from scope. Quietly shipping degraded data is the one failure mode we will not accept.

Do you offer annual pricing?

Yes — 15% off on an annual commitment, and half the build fee credited against your first three months. Twenty percent if the year is paid upfront.

SELF-SERVE API

Coming soon.

We are building an API so smaller jobs will not need a call with us first. It is not ready yet, and we would rather say that here than after you sign up. For now, every project starts with an email.

Send us the hard one first.

Pick the target that defeated your team or your last vendor. We will tier it, tell you what extraction involves, and show you real records before you pay for anything beyond a Probe.
