Nimble runs two price lists on one page. The self-serve APIs are priced per request, from $1 per 1,000 up to $25.00. The managed Data Services tiers start at $2,500 a month billed annually. Both are published, which is more than most vendors pitched at this end of the market manage. What is not published is narrower and worth naming exactly. Every figure below was read from their pricing page on 9 September 2026.
We sell a competing scraper API, so weigh our reading accordingly. The rates are theirs and the division is ours.
The short version
Extract, Crawl and Map cost $1 per 1,000 requests, Search costs $1.1, and Extract Template costs $3. The Agent API costs $0.025 per request on its low setting, which is $25.00 per 1,000, and the pricing page prices only that one setting. Managed Data Services start at $2,500 a month billed annually, which is $7.14 per thousand page credits and a $30,000 annual commitment.
What Nimble publishes on the API side
Six rates, read from the API tab of the pricing page on 9 September 2026. The final column is our own conversion to a common unit.
Nimble API rates
| Product | Published as | Per 1,000 requests |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 5,000 requests per month | free |
| Extract, Crawl, Map API | $1 per 1k requests | $1.00 |
| Search API | $1.1 per 1k requests | $1.10 |
| Extract Template API | $3 per 1k requests | $3.00 |
| Agent API, low effort | $0.025 per request | $25.00 |
| Media API | $2 per GB | priced by volume, not requests |
| Custom | talk to sales | not published |

Four of those rates sit within a factor of three of each other. The fifth sits twenty-five times above the cheapest, on the same list.
The Agent API is a different kind of product
The gap between $1.00 and $25.00 per thousand is not a markup on the same work. Their page describes the Agent API as automating research, enrichment and dataset creation workflows.
It carries an effort setting that the buyer chooses. The page lists low, medium, high, extra high and custom as the options.
The pricing page prices only the low setting, so the cheapest version of their dearest API is $25.00 per thousand. Nimble's documentation fills in the rest of the ladder. Medium costs $0.10 per task, high $0.50 and extra high $2.00, which is $100, $500 and $2,000 per thousand.
That is the largest gap on the pricing page, and it sits on their headline product. A buyer sizing an agent workload needs the documentation rather than the pricing page.
What Nimble publishes on the managed side
The second tab prices a managed service rather than an API. These are people and pipelines rather than endpoints.
Nimble Data Services tiers
| Tier | Per month | Page credits | Concurrent agents | Storage | Per 1,000 credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Startup | $2,500 | 350,000 | 5 | 7 days | $7.14 |
| Scale | $7,000 | 1,200,000 | 10 | 30 days | $5.83 |
| Professional | $15,000 | 3,000,000 | 20 | 90 days | $5.00 |
| Enterprise | custom | custom | unlimited | custom | not published |

Every tier is billed annually, so the entry point is a $30,000 commitment. Every tier also says book a demo rather than offering a checkout.
The per-credit rate improves as you climb, from $7.14 to $5.00 per thousand. That is a 30 percent cut across a sixfold increase in spend.
The two lists are not the same product
Read across the two tables and the arithmetic looks strange. Extract costs $1.00 per thousand on one tab, and a page credit costs $7.14 on the other.
That is not a like-for-like comparison and we are not presenting it as one. The managed tiers include concurrent agents, data storage, custom ETL and an integration built by their team.
The useful point is what the gap represents. Choosing between the two tabs means deciding whether the management layer is worth several times the raw rate.
That question has a real answer for each team, and no pricing page can give it. What a pricing page can do is state both numbers, which this one does.
Where the public rates land
Set the published Nimble rates beside the other conversions from this batch. Every figure was read in the same week and restated in the same unit.
Cost per 1,000 requests across the market
| Where you buy it | What it is | Per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Zyte, $500 commitment | HTTP, easiest tier | $0.06 |
| ScrapingBee, Startup | plain request | $0.10 |
| Scrapfly, Pro | datacenter request | $0.10 |
| ScraperAPI, Business | standard page | $0.10 |
| DataForSEO, standard queue | Google SERP | $0.60 |
| Massive, Web Render API | rendered page | from $0.80 |
| Firecrawl, Standard | page scrape | $0.83 |
| Nimble, Extract | page contents | $1.00 |
| Nimble, Search | search request | $1.10 |
| Nimble, Extract Template | structured domain data | $3.00 |
| Nimble, Data Services Startup | managed page credit | $7.14 |
| Nimble, Agent API | low effort request | $25.00 |
| ScraperAPI, Hobby | ultra premium rendered | $36.75 |
| HProxy scraper API | successful call | published on our scrapers page |
eight vendor pricing pages and our own arithmetic, all read 9 September 2026
Our own unit is one successful call from a balance that does not expire. There is no plan and no effort setting to choose. Nimble's Extract rate sits mid-table, and its Agent API sits near the top.
The free tier renews every month
Five thousand requests a month, across every API, with no card required and cancel anytime. That is what their page states.
Priced at their own Extract rate, those requests are worth about $5 a month. Priced at their Agent API rate, they are worth $125.
More importantly, it is not a one-off trial. A free tier that renews monthly lets a team build an integration properly. Nobody has to rush a benchmark before a clock runs out.
Several free tiers in this batch renew each month, among them ZenRows at 5,000 credits, Firecrawl at 1,000 and SerpApi at 250 searches. Scrapfly, ScrapingBee and Zyte give a single grant instead.
Who this pricing suits
Nimble suits teams whose work maps onto Extract, Crawl or Search at a dollar per thousand. That rate is competitive without being the cheapest in the market.
It suits agent workloads once you read past the pricing page. The low effort level is $25.00 per thousand, and extra high is $2,000.
It suits buyers who want a managed pipeline and can commit $30,000 a year. That is a serious floor and the page states it plainly rather than hiding it behind a form.
It suits price-led small buyers poorly on everything except the free tier. Four vendors in this batch publish plain page rates at a tenth of Nimble's or lower. We set those out in the Zyte, ScrapingBee, Scrapfly and ScraperAPI teardowns.
What we could not verify
The pricing page prices the Agent API only at its low effort setting. Nimble's documentation publishes medium, high and extra high but not custom, and we did not estimate a custom rate.
The Search API card shows lite and fast modes at $1.1 per thousand. It also mentions a deep mode that includes page contents. No separate price for deep mode appeared there. Nimble's documentation lists a standard search mode at $5.00 per thousand inputs, and we could not confirm whether that is deep mode.
Everything under the Custom heading is quoted rather than published. That covers volume bundling, throughput SLAs, multi-year price protection, custom concurrency, higher rate limits and PII masking.
We could not confirm whether a managed page credit is the same unit as an Extract request. We therefore report both rates and decline to convert between them.
No statement appeared about whether unused page credits roll over on the managed tiers. On an annual commitment that term matters, and we make no claim about it.
