Fetchin vs Scrapingdog
Scrapingdog is a general web data platform with a professional-profile endpoint attached. Pricing is credit-based, and this is where it gets expensive: a profile call costs 50 credits, against 1 credit for a basic proxy request.
That multiplier reframes the plans. The $40 plan advertises 200,000 credits, which is 4,000 profile calls, about $10 per 1,000. The $90 plan works out near $4.50, and the $200 plan near $3.33.
You only approach our rate at genuinely large commitments. Fetchin is $1.00 per 1,000 from a $50 plan.
Their free tier deserves a specific warning: 200 credits is four profile calls.

Fetchin pricing: Starter plan, $50 for 50,000 credits. Drops to $0.90 per 1,000 at 1M credits.
Scrapingdog pricing: A profile call costs 50 credits. $40 for 200,000 credits is 4,000 calls. Reaches roughly $4.50 per 1,000 on the $90 plan and $3.33 on the $200 plan.
Where Fetchin wins
- $1.00 per 1,000 against roughly $10 on their entry plan. A 10x gap, once the 50-credit multiplier is applied.
- Credits map one-to-one to requests. No arithmetic to work out what a plan actually buys you.
- A meaningful free trial: 1,000 credits is 1,000 profile calls, against their 200 credits which is four.
- Deeper professional data: company, posts, comments, reactions and engagement.
- Published latency and uptime plus a public status page. Scrapingdog publishes none of the three.
Where Scrapingdog wins
- Very high concurrency at the top: up to 2,200 threads on their largest plans, far above what we offer self-serve.
- At extreme volume their unit rate falls below ours, at around $1.36 per 1,000 on the $30,000/month plan.
- A broad general-purpose platform if you need sources well beyond professional data.
- Failed requests are never charged, same as us.
Choose Fetchin if…
- You want a price you can read off the plan without converting credits.
- You are running professional-data volume where a 10x unit gap compounds.
- You want a free trial large enough to actually evaluate the data.
Choose Scrapingdog if…
- You need thousands of concurrent threads and are ready to pay for the top plans.
- You need general web data across many sources, not just professional data.
