1

No minimum spend

AlterLab has no minimum monthly commitment. Add $1 or $1000 to your balance and pay per request. Scale naturally with your needs.

2

Automatic proxy management

AlterLab selects the optimal proxy type automatically. No choosing between residential, datacenter, or mobile proxies — the system handles it based on site requirements.

3

One product, one API

No separate products for web scraping, SERP scraping, or e-commerce data. AlterLab handles all extraction through a single endpoint.
