Launched a scraping API that tries the cheap path first

I got tired of paying a premium tier for a page that plain HTTP would have returned.

Spider Scrapers Auto tries the cheapest strategy first and bills the winning class at 1 / 5 / 10 / 25 / 50 credits. Failed, blocked, timed-out, or empty responses bill zero.

5,000 trial credits, no card.

    The cheap-first routing is the real wedge. Are customers seeing materially lower scraping costs at comparable success rates, or is the main question still whether the savings outweigh any reliability tradeoff?
