I’m curious who your customers are; being tech savvy enough to use an api, but not enough to scrape the web confuses me. Mind explaining how you make money?

They seem to handle all the more annoying parts of web scraping: bypassing anti scraping things such as rate limits and captchas.
Being tech savvy, there's no way I'm implementing that for $0.002 per request. $150 gets you 75k scrapes.
And if you're not doing it yourself, $150 does not get you very much labor.
