Now supporting TripAdvisor reviews, Instagram profiles & posts, TikTok comments, and LinkedIn post scraping. - **Author**: Sasha Bouloudnine - **Published**: 2026-02-03, updated 2026-02-02 (2 Feb 2026) - **Reading time**: 6 min - **Canonical**: https://www.lobstr.io/blog/january-2025 --- __Big month. Like, really big.__ 💥 We made a tough call on pricing—simplifying down to 3 plans and adjusting entry-level costs to keep things sustainable. Then we went hard on shipping. 5 new scrapers launched in one month—TripAdvisor reviews, Instagram profiles and posts, TikTok comments, and LinkedIn post engagement data with verified emails. ## Update #1 – Pricing adjustment and simplification 💰 __We've been experimenting with pricing all year to find the right balance between value and sustainability. This is where we landed.__ After a year of testing different pricing structures, tracking usage patterns, and optimizing how credits are consumed, we've finally simplified our pricing down to __3 core plans__: ![Update #1 – Pricing adjustment and simplification 💰](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/image3_71d4633d14.png "width=1207;height=688") __New pricing structure:__ * __Starter__ – $20/month ($2/1k results) * __Growth__ – $100/month ($1/1k results) * __Scale__ – $500/month ($0.5/1k results) ### What changed We started with execution-hours billing (like Phantombuster lol 🚮)—which meant you paid for _time_, not actual data. Frustrating for everyone. Then we tried credit-based pricing with 7 tiers. It was a pilot, meant for testing. Better, yes—but still too many options. Choosing a plan shouldn't feel like solving a puzzle. So now we've finally landed on __3 solid plans__. Clean, simple, and built around what most users actually need. Finally! We've also adjusted entry-level pricing to __$2 per 1,000 results__. Not an easy call, but a necessary one to keep things sustainable. ![__Update #1 – Pricing adjustment and simplification 💰__ - What changed image2](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/image9_71f762e44a.png "width=1133;height=678") __But… You're only billed for unique and accurate data now.__ ✨ No more duplicate or out-of-scope results eating your credits. Duplicates and out-of-scope results never make it to your exported dataset—they're filtered out at the time of scraping. Zero credit wastage. 👉 [How do Geo Match and Category Match filters work in Google Maps Leads Scraper?](https://lobstr.crisp.help/en/article/how-do-geo-match-and-category-match-filters-work-in-google-maps-leads-scraper-1jhnduu/) And we adjusted credits-per-result where our pricing was running a little expensive compared to competitors. The best example? __Google Reviews Scraper now costs 0.2 credits per review instead of 1 credit.__ That's a __5× reduction.__ 🚀 ![__Update #1 – Pricing adjustment and simplification 💰__ - What changed image3](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/image8_aee72728c8.png "width=1131;height=752") __What if you’ve consumed all your credits and don’t have the budget to upgrade to a higher plan?__ You can use the reset billing cycle feature to resubscribe to your current plan anytime and get a fresh credit allocation—no need to upgrade to a higher tier. 🔄 👉 [How to reset my subscription](https://lobstr.crisp.help/en/article/how-to-upgrade-downgrade-or-cancel-your-lobstrio-subscription-1lvf052/#3-how-to-reset-my-subscription) ### What didn't change Scale pricing remains __$0.50 per 1,000 results__—the same rate you've had on higher-tier plans all along. ![__Update #1 – Pricing adjustment and simplification 💰__ - What didn't change](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/image7_f6bdaee29c.png "width=1143;height=676") If you're scraping at volume, nothing changes for you. 🎯 ### Are we still competitive? __Absolutely yes, we stand competitively even on entry level pricing!__ Let's compare our top 3 best-selling products to our top 3 competitors on those products for reference: #### Google Maps Leads Scraper (lead + email + validation) ```md Lobstr.io vs Outscraper Entry: $8/1k Entry: $9/1k Scale: $2/1k Scale: $3/1k ``` #### Google Reviews Scraper ```md Lobstr.io vs Apify Entry: $0.40/1k Entry: $0.50/1k Scale: $0.10/1k Scale: $0.35/1k ``` #### Sales Navigator Leads Scraper (with email enrichment) ```md Lobstr.io vs Evaboot Entry: $20/1k Entry: $49.50/1k Scale: $5/1k Scale: $17/1k ``` > __In short, we're still the most affordable scraper in the market__… and of course, the best 🏆.
