The Pay-As-You-Go Alternative to ScraperAPI

No subscription lock-in

AlterLab uses a dollar balance model. Top up any amount, pay per request, and your balance never expires. No monthly fees, no overages, no wasted credits at cycle end.

Automatic anti-bot escalation

AlterLab automatically escalates through 5 protection tiers — from simple proxies to full browser rendering with CAPTCHA solving. No manual tier selection needed.

Transparent per-request pricing

See exactly what each request costs based on its complexity tier. No guessing how many credits a request will consume.
