Why Pay More for the Same Data? 💰
In the web scraping industry, many providers charge $5,000+ per month for “Enterprise” access. But the raw data comes from the same public web. The difference is in Infrastructure Efficiency.
The Compute Unit Problem
Many scrapers on Apify or AWS are “heavy.” They use too much memory (RAM) and keep the browser open longer than necessary, draining your Compute Units (CU).
The CheapGET Optimization Philosophy
We built the “CheapGET” brand on three optimization pillars:
- Event-Driven Pricing: You pay per successful event (record), not for idle server time.
- Resource Throttling: Our code is written to use minimal RAM—most of our actors run efficiently on just 512MB-1024MB.
- Fast Exit Strategy: We close browser instances the millisecond the data is extracted, saving you pennies on every run that add up to hundreds of dollars a month.
The Bottom Line
Our goal is to democratize high-end web scraping. Whether you are a startup founder or a solo researcher, you deserve enterprise-grade data without the enterprise-grade invoice.
