Enhanced Mode pricing and quality updates

What is Enhanced Mode: Enhanced Mode is a specialized proxy feature for scraping websites with advanced anti-bot protection, providing better success rates when extracting data from challenging sites.

Pricing Change: Starting May 8th, 2025, Enhanced Mode proxy requests will cost 5 credits per request (previously included in standard credit pricing).

Quality Improvements: The price adjustment reflects significant quality improvements to Enhanced Mode, ensuring higher success rates and more reliable data extraction from complex and difficult-to-scrape sites.

Usage Optimization: For optimal credit usage, consider using Enhanced Mode as a retry mechanism only when encountering specific error status codes (401, 403, or 500).

Update (August 17, 2026): The 5-credit price above no longer applies. Enhanced Mode requests are billed at the same 1 credit per request as basic requests, and an automatic escalated retry is not charged separately. See the Enhanced Mode docs.
