Good Questions.

Do I need an Oxylabs account?

No. Your agent pays from your TaskFuel balance, so there is nothing else to sign up for.

What does a page scrape cost?

Our JoinMassive read cost $0.0125 on 3 November 2026. Oxylabs’ Scrape API starts at $0.50 per 1,000 results on plans from $30 a month, as published that day. Your agent shows the price for your own request before it pays.

Is this cheaper than Oxylabs?

Not at volume. Oxylabs’ Scrape API starts at $0.50 per 1,000 results, against $12.50 per 1,000 for a JoinMassive read here. The TaskFuel providers suit occasional agent tasks, with no proxy or monthly plan.

Can it scrape sites that block bots?

Oxylabs sells unblocking as part of its plans. On TaskFuel, JoinMassive lists anti-bot handling. Our test page was open, so we did not try it.

Your agent can do things it couldn’t this morning.
