We built the tool we wanted to exist.
OmniScrape started from frustration. Every scraping service we tried was either too slow, too expensive, or too opaque about what you were actually paying for. So we built something different.
The Problem We Kept Running Into
Most web scraping APIs charge you whether a request succeeds or fails. They round bandwidth up to the nearest GB. They lock you into monthly plans where unused credits expire. And when you ask why your success rate is 70%, the answer is usually a shrug.
We wanted a service where you could look at a bill and understand every line of it. Where pricing reflected actual cost instead of what the market would bear. Where failed requests were the service provider's problem, not yours.
The technical challenges were solvable. Getting the pricing model right took longer. The $3.50 per 1,000 successful requests figure covers our infrastructure costs with enough margin to sustain the product long-term. Every number in our pricing page was calculated from real costs, not back-calculated from what competitors charge.
We're not trying to be the biggest web scraping company. We're trying to be the most honest one.
Open Cost Structure
Our sell price vs. our infra cost per unit. Margins are honest, not padded.
How we operate
Transparent pricing
We publish our cost structure openly. The $3.50 per 1,000 request figure wasn't picked to undercut competitors — it was calculated from actual infrastructure costs with a margin that keeps the service sustainable. You can see exactly what you're paying for.
You only pay when it works
Failed requests are not charged. If we hit a site and can't deliver data, that's our problem, not yours. Billing tied to outcomes keeps us incentivized to keep success rates high.
No lock-in
OmniScrape is a REST API and WebSocket endpoint. No proprietary SDK to install. If a competitor serves you better tomorrow, switching costs you nothing. That's a risk we're comfortable with.
No monthly traps
Monthly plans where unused quota disappears at month-end never made sense. You can top up a balance and use it whenever, or subscribe if your volume justifies it. Your choice.
