Scraping point.me
point.me requires Stealth Playwright (Tier 1) because the site uses javascript challenges (perimeterx, datadome, basic anti-bot). Cheaper engine tiers fail; this is the cheapest one that actually works.
Why Stealth Playwright wins on point.me
Headless Chromium with the stealth plugin and fingerprint injection passes JavaScript challenges that simple HTTP cannot. Slower and 3x more expensive than JA4, but unavoidable for sites that gate rendering behind a JS challenge.
Cost math: at 3 credits per request, scraping point.me costs $0.30–$0.54 per 1,000 requests on the Starter tier. Compare to ScrapingBee ($1.40/1K) or Firecrawl (~$5.33/1K flat). For high-volume workloads on this domain, the credit-based model lands cheaper.
API Discovery: we've captured 10 internal JSON endpoints on this domain during browser scrapes. When you scrape point.me through DreamScrape, the router checks for these endpoints first and replays them at HTTP speed (1 credit) instead of firing a full browser session. On domains with discovered APIs, this is typically 10× cheaper and 15× faster than the primary tier.
