How this review was prepared
This review combines my hands-on experience with HasData with its current pricing page, homepage and MCP documentation. Where a figure could not be confirmed on the official page, the text says so.
This page may include affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission if you sign up (at no extra cost to you).
The Verdict
Is HasData right for you?
HasData is a web scraping and data API service. It offers about 40 API endpoints for Google, Amazon, Zillow and general pages, no-code scrapers, plain-English AI extraction and an MCP server.
Plans are priced by credits: Free gives 1,000, Startup is $49 for 200,000, the next tier $99 for 1,000,000 and Growth $208 for 3,000,000. Credits are not requests: a Google SERP call costs 10 credits, a Google Maps call 5 and a Web Scraping call 1. Only successful requests are billed.
It fits developers who need many kinds of structured data and an MCP server. It fits poorly if you compare per-credit prices across vendors without checking each API's credit cost.
Who It's For
Who HasData is for (and who it isn't)
✓ Best for
- +Developers who need several data sources from one vendor. One account covers Google SERP, Maps, News, Flights, Amazon, Zillow and general scraping, with SDKs and integrations such as Zapier, Make, n8n and LangChain.
- +Teams that want structured data from any URL. AI Extraction turns a URL into structured JSON from a plain-text prompt, with headless rendering and a 2.3-second median response claim.
- +Agent builders who want ready tools. The official MCP server exposes all 57 HasData APIs as tools by default, with an apis parameter to limit them.

What You Can Do
What can HasData do?
Call an API
Pick an endpoint such as Google SERP or Amazon and get parsed JSON. Options like proxy type, JavaScript rendering and AI extraction change the credit cost.
Extract data with a prompt
Point AI Extraction at any URL and ask for fields in plain text to get structured JSON.
Give an assistant scraping tools
Connect the MCP server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code or others. Each tool call uses credits like a direct API request.
Use no-code scrapers
About 30 no-code scrapers cover popular sites for people who do not write code.
AI, API & MCP
Does HasData Have an MCP Server, API and AI Features?
HasData offers an official MCP server plus APIs, and each tool call spends credits.
AI agent workflow
A safe agent workflow
Limit the MCP to the providers you need with the apis parameter, so the model sees fewer tools and spends fewer credits.
Approval boundary: Every tool call costs credits, and Google SERP calls cost 10 each. Cap agent runs and watch your balance.
MCP
officialOfficial remote MCP server
OAuth or API-key access to 57 documented tools that can be restricted by provider.

How much does HasData cost?
HasData is free for 1,000 credits, and paid plans start at $49/month for 200,000 credits.
| Plan | USD; annual billing is discounted; credits differ by API |
|---|---|
| Free | Free, 1,000 credits, 1 thread |
| Startup | $49/mo |
| Basic (Business in earlier records)Popular | $99/mo |
| Growth | $208/mo |
HasData prices by credits per month, and credits are not requests. A Google SERP call costs 10 credits, a Google Maps call 5 and a Web Scraping call 1, so a per-credit rate is never a per-request rate. Read the per-1,000-request figure for the API you plan to call. Only successful requests are billed and failed requests are refunded. Unused credits carry into the next period per the pricing page. Plan names differ between sources: the page shows Startup, Basic and Growth, while earlier records call the middle tier Business.
What a credit buys
Google SERP: 10 credits per call. Google Maps: 5. Web Scraping: 1. On the pricing page, the Web Scraping API runs from $0.08 per 1,000 requests down to about $0.07 on Growth, and Google SERP up to $0.69 per 1,000 on Growth.
Free plan and trial
New users get 1,000 API credits with no payment. Earlier records listed a 30-day trial, which the pricing page does not show.
Enterprise
Custom pricing applies above 20 million credits a month.
Alternatives
When I'd choose something else
Three different buying priorities, and what I'd pick instead for each one.
If you want SERP and AI Overview APIs
SerpApi
SerpApi lists Google AI Overview and AI Mode APIs and an official MCP server, priced per successful search.
Trade-off: It is SERP-focused rather than a general scraping service.
Explore SerpApi for this use case →If you want SEO data and pay-as-you-go
DataForSEO
DataForSEO covers SERPs, keywords and backlinks with an official MCP server.
Trade-off: Per-task pricing is harder to forecast.

Zenserp
Zenserp lists success-only billing from $49.99 a month.
Trade-off: It has no official MCP server that I found.

Limitations to consider before subscribing
Credits are not requests
A SERP call costs 10 credits, so cheap-looking credit prices can mislead.
Tool counts differ by source
The docs say 57 tools, and the marketing page and GitHub say about 40.
Plan names differ
The page shows Startup, Basic and Growth, while earlier records say Business for the middle tier.
Free plan MCP access unclear
The docs do not say whether the free plan can use the MCP server.
Concurrency is capped by plan
Free runs 1 thread and Growth 50.
My Recommendation
Should You Choose HasData?
Shortlist HasData if you need several structured data sources, AI extraction and an MCP server under one credit balance.
Choose SerpApi for AI Overview data, DataForSEO for SEO data at scale, or Zenserp for a cheap SERP API.
What to check during the trial
- –Use the 1,000 free credits on your real APIs and count credits per call.
- –Convert credits to cost per 1,000 requests for each API you need.
- –Restrict the MCP server to the providers you use.
- –Check concurrency for your workload.
