High costs?

I noticed that under "information", it says that the estimated price per 1000 website scrapes is $0.5-$5. However, I am seeing that just scraping one single page url (0 depth, max pages set to 1) costs me ~$0.025. This is like 25 bucks per 1000 websites? Why is it so expensive (relative to what is stated), and is there anyway I can lower this price via settings or by using another simple web scraper. Thanks in advance.

Hello, and thank you for your interest in this Actor.

The higher cost you're seeing for single-page scrapes is due to the fixed overhead involved in starting each scraping task. This includes the actor's launch time and initial proxy / storage allocation.

When you scrape multiple pages in a single run, these fixed costs are spread across all pages, resulting in a significantly lower per-page cost and aligning with our stated estimates. To reduce your costs, we recommend batching your scraping requests whenever possible.

I'll close this issue now, but feel free to ask additional questions if you have any. Cheers!
