Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from teams considering HasData for production scraping.
HasData gives 1,000 credits every month with no card required, and the allowance renews on the same date each month. Unused credits do not carry over. ScraperAPI gives 5,000 one-time signup credits, then 1,000 credits a month on its Free plan.
Yes. Start with 1,000 free credits and run HasData against the exact sites you scrape today. If you need a larger stress test, contact us and we'll extend the trial to match your current ScraperAPI plan, so you can benchmark at real volume before moving.
On the entry tier HasData gives 200,000 credits for $59 versus ScraperAPI's 100,000 for $49, so a credit costs about 40% less. The gap widens on harder targets, where Google SERP costs 10 credits on HasData versus 25 on ScraperAPI, and an anti-bot request is 15 credits on HasData versus 75 on ScraperAPI's Ultra Premium plus JS, about 5× cheaper.
The REST API is similar. For most requests you swap the endpoint and API key and keep your existing parameters for JS rendering, premium proxies, and geotargeting. Named APIs replace any custom parsing you wrote on top of ScraperAPI's HTML responses.
You don't pay for it. Failed requests are automatically refunded, and HasData retries on its own, so the extraction still completes even if the first attempt runs into issues.
Yes. Public plans reach 20M credits a month and 500 concurrent requests, and custom plans scale beyond that. ScraperAPI reaches the same 500 concurrent on its $1,975 Advanced plan, where HasData's Growth tier costs $1,660.
