ScrapingBee
The cheapest general scraper on this list for Google work: 10 credits per light Google search means the $19 Hobby plan is 7,500 searches, about $2.53 per 1,000, and the $99 Startup plan is 100,000 searches at $0.99 per 1,000. The catch is that light requests skip the headless browser and the docs warn 'some content may be missing'; the full-fidelity regular request is 15 credits, 50% dearer. Plans hard-cap - running out returns 401 and the only fix is an upgrade. Left null: annual discount (no annual toggle on the page), credit rollover, and whether an explicit search-language parameter exists. The pricing grid's feature ticks are rendered as images and could not be read, so per-tier feature gating (screenshots, extraction rules, dedicated scraping APIs) is not recorded.

Google API docs: 'It cost 10 or 15 credits per Google Search API request, depending on the type of request you make. Light Requests (default) 10, Regular requests 15.' light_request defaults to true, so 10 is the normal cost; light requests skip the browser and 'might not return all the data'. One search_type parameter covers classic, news, maps, images, lens, shopping, ai_mode and ads with no per-vertical multiplier published, so every Google vertical is 10 (light) or 15 (regular). The knowledge base adds that hitting a Google URL through the generic HTML API instead costs 15 credits on classic or premium proxies and 75 on stealth. Generic HTML API costs for comparison: classic proxy 1, classic + JS 5, premium 10, premium + JS 25, stealth + JS 75, plus 5 for AI extraction. There is no Bing endpoint, so bing is null.
