One rate, no balance tiers

Most providers gate their rate behind a prepaid balance, so the price you evaluate on is not the price you were quoted.

Plan	Balance required	Per request	Per 1,000	Relative
Start (provider)	$20	$0.02	$20.00	33x
Standard (provider)	$100	$0.001	$1.00	1.67x
Business (provider)	$300	$0.00069	$0.69	1.15x
Ultra (provider)	$599	$0.0006	$0.60	1x
herascrape (best rate)	None	$0.0004	$0.40	0.67x

Deposit $1,000 or more and the effective rate drops another 20% to $0.000333 per request. Deposit bonuses.
