Founder Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Reliable scraping API that handles the hard stuff" April 6, 2026 5.0 Scrapfly has been a solid tool for our data collection needs. We use it for monitoring product availability across thousands of store locations. The API is straightforward, support is responsive (\[sensitive content hidden\] personally follows up), and it handles JavaScript-rendered pages that other scrapers choke on. Would recommend for anyone who needs reliable web data extraction without building everything from scratch. Pros Reliable data extraction API that handles anti-bot protections well. Easy to integrate — just an API key and a URL. Their proxy rotation and browser rendering save a ton of time compared to building your own scraping infrastructure. Good documentation. Cons The dashboard UI could be more intuitive for monitoring usage and debugging failed requests. Was hard to enter my debit card at first, then figured out how to resolve the form load bug. Alternatives considered [Oxylabs](https://www.capterra.com/p/10001951/Oxylabs/)[ZenRows](https://www.capterra.com/p/237290/ZenRows/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly Better handling of anti-bot protections out of the box, simpler API, and more transparent pricing. Their browser rendering worked on sites where others failed. Switched from [ZenRows](https://www.capterra.com/p/237290/ZenRows/) Needed better success rates on JavaScript-heavy sites. ZenRows was hit or miss on pages with heavy anti-bot protection. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent success and easy learning curve" January 24, 2026 4.0 Overall, using Scrapfly has been a great experience and a fun learning project. It will likely remain a smaller portion of my project and serve as a bit of a 'fallback' logic in case I fail to bypass some very difficult sites and want to employ a >95% success in extracting a specific product / page. I still recommend it for smaller projects, learning, or the right use cases! Pros Scrapfly is remarkably easy to set-up in a Python configuration, or just test out in their API testing suite in the browser. Logging is easy, and if you want to get heavy into tweaking your settings you can (caching, timeouts, page loads, proxy types, etc) OR just 'send it' and let Scrapfly manage what gets you a valid response. Their success rate even on Datadome or Akamai protected sites was remarkably high and really satisfying to see. Cons Scrapfly pricing making sense is going to depend heavily on your use case. The overall effort to implement Scrapfly is a selling point for sure but the ease is largely a 'one time' benefit. Ongoing costs for extraction/crawling should be closely checked against the benefits of you using a DC Proxy pool / Residential Proxy pool (or mix of the two) and the ongoing cost per gb. Your volume and needs, as well as difficulty of the sites you're targeting and your skill level will likely determine which product is best for you. Alternatives considered [ScrapingBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/195060/ScrapingBee/)[ScraperAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/238595/Scraper-API/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly I chose a combination of these products, but Scrapfly was chosen to serve for hard to extract products based on it's strong cost performance and success rate as well as easy implementation. Review Source RP Richard P. SWE Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good product, awful customer support" May 1, 2026 3.0 Pros Scrapfly has a convenient system for getting around bot detection systems called Anti Scraping Protection. Cons Customer support is useless. I was overcharged and support initially denied there was an overcharge, then claimed I would not be charged for it, then when I was overcharged offered credits instead, then claimed the overcharge was my fault, then claimed the overcharge was as expected. They just were not willing to admit there is a bug in their system overcharging users. Review Source Nuri A. Owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scrapfly absolutely worth it" December 23, 2025 5.0 I really like the experience so far. I tried other scrapers but they were nowhere near this successful. Value for Money is perfect. Automatic proxy selection saves money most of the time. Learning Curve was a little steep but once done it works. Pros It is stable .I can scrape very well protected sites like aliexpress very successfully. Customer support is very good. I got help with my problems quickly. The documentation helps with initial setup. Cons Documnetation is helpful but it needs some update. I had to d many trials and errors to make everything work as intended but finally it worked. Now I scrape successfully. Alternatives considered [Apify](https://www.capterra.com/p/150854/Apify/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly They were not as successful as Scrapfly. They did not capture everything I wanted. Review Source Fiach R. Director Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great option for JS injection. " March 13, 2026 5.0 Very fast, seamless - It took me less than an hour to test it, then port code from a previous provider. Pros Worked first time, and an easy migration path from similar products. I specifically liked the option to execute Javascript on the target page. Cons Perhaps if the Javascript could be sent via POST rather than GET it could alleviate the issue of the maximum length of a Url in HTTP. Switched from [ScrapingBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/195060/ScrapingBee/) Became unreliable against Incapsula / Imperva. Review Source Erwan B. everything Market Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scrapfly is goated" March 17, 2026 5.0 I love it, it takes away all the worries of scraping data online and the price is really reasonnable for the volume of queries you get. Pros It's complete. I tried it with the free credits, maxed out quickly, realised it would take me ages to do better than Scrapfly by my own, and decided to pay for their monthly plan and everything works like a charm so far. Cons I don't know, so far I have not really noticed anything I don't like or anything that was missing for me, but I guess I'm a entry level user, so we'll see in the future. Alternatives considered [Apify](https://www.capterra.com/p/150854/Apify/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly i do not recall i'm sorry. i think claude code suggested it Review Source OF Owen F. Developer Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Impressive success rate" April 3, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Scrapfly is that of a reliability-first infrastructure tool. For a production-grade project, it acts as a managed abstraction layer that converts the high-entropy game of anti-bot bypass into a deterministic API configuration. It is the professional choice: you are trading a higher monthly spend for the recovery of dozens of engineering hours previously lost to WAF maintenance. Pros The Anti-Bot Selection engine is the only consistent solution for the 2026-era "Turnstile Wall." While standard residential proxies and TLS impersonation libraries are increasingly hit-or-miss on site, Scrapfly’s ASP handles the browser fingerprinting and managed challenges out of the box. It effectively turned a high-maintenance "cat and mouse" game into a deterministic API call. Cons I burned through the trial credits rapidly, so had to take the leap of faith and sign up without really being able to test it out. Alternatives considered [Bright Data](https://www.capterra.com/p/208755/Bright-Data/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly Scrapfly's price and API - very powerful yet easy integration. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Partner Investment Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Top-notch, fully-featured, well-documented scraping engine" April 15, 2026 5.0 Overall very happy with the product and view it as an increasingly important and powerful tool now that generative AI coding agents allow for the creation of more and more robust scraping pipelines. Pros Very easy to use, great documentation, transparent pricing and good dashboard. When the scraper broke for a particular site (enhanced anti-bot technology), Scrapfly support was responsive and fixed the issue quickly. Cons Not perfect in terms of anti-bot capabilities, but this is a challenging space and I think Scrapfly overall does an excellent job. Alternatives considered [ScrapingBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/195060/ScrapingBee/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly Indicated to be better regarded and more effective from desktop research. Review Source Damien F. Data Analyst Gambling & Casinos Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Scraping API on the Market" December 3, 2025 5.0 Overall, Scrapfly has met my needs better than any other scraping API I've used for my personal projects. I very rarely face issues while using the product and look forward to using it for larger projects in the future. Pros My favorite part about Scrapfly is their easy to use scraping API which has a very high success rate even on the trickiest websites. Cons My least favorite part about Scrapfly is the fact that they don't have top ups on the cheapest subscription plan. Switched from [ZenRows](https://www.capterra.com/p/237290/ZenRows/) Failed on one of the sites that was critical for operations Review Source JW Julius W. Chief Executive Officer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very Good Scrapper" April 17, 2026 5.0 Pros I like the ease of use, seamless integration with custom applications, effectiveness as a scrapper and various features to fine tune my implementation. Plus relatively cost effective. Cons It can be a little unclear as to why I'm using as many tokens/credits. I wish I can have a better understanding of per call what is getting me from x to y depending on what implementation. Just per call feedback. Alternatives considered [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly It worked almost immediately and the cost seems worth it. Switched from [GitHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/129067/GitHub/) Inability to scrape the sites I'm looking for. Review Source GB Goutham B. Owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Reliable, Affordable, and Essential Scraping Tool" November 18, 2025 5.0 Our overall experience has been excellent. Scrapfly has given us a stable and scalable solution for high-volume data extraction across thousands of domains. It integrates cleanly into our workflows, handles edge cases well, and has saved us a significant amount of time compared to building everything from scratch or relying on less dependable providers. Customer support has also been responsive the few times we reached out. We don’t plan on switching—Scrapfly has become a long-term tool for us. Pros Scrapfly has been incredibly reliable for our workflow. We use it every day to scrape thousands of websites, and the performance has been consistently fast and stable. The pricing is also one of the best value-for-money options we’ve seen—much more affordable than other scraping services while still offering a full feature set. The learning curve is minimal, the UI is straightforward, and the API is flexible enough for both simple and complex extraction tasks. Overall, it has become a core part of our automation stack. Cons Honestly, we haven’t run into any major issues so far. If anything, we’d love to see even more built-in convenience tools (like additional prebuilt scraping templates or automated retry strategies), but that’s more of a wish list than a complaint. Review Source Dhruv K. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Swiss Army Knife of Web Scraping" February 20, 2026 5.0 Scrapfly has become an indispensable tool in my stack. If you're doing any kind of serious data collection at scale, this saves you an enormous amount of headache. Pros Cloudflare bypass actually works, and works consistently. Before Scrapfly, I was burning hours rotating proxies, tweaking headers, and still getting blocked. Their anti-bot bypass handles it out of the box. The JavaScript rendering is equally solid; pages that require full browser execution come back clean and complete without me having to spin up Puppeteer or Playwright instances on my own infrastructure. Cons Credit usage can add up quickly if you're heavy on JS rendering and anti-bot features, so you do need to be thoughtful about which requests actually need the full treatment versus a simple fetch. Do a layered approach. Review Source Benjamin L. Developper Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great scraping tool for business use" December 1, 2025 5.0 I've been using Scrapfly for few months now to extract data from marketplaces for my business. Honestly it became an essential tool in my daily workflow. It saved me so much time compared to my old homemade scripts that were getting blocked all the time. Not having to manage proxy infrastructure myself is a huge time saver. I definately recommend for any professional who needs to scrape regularly without the headache. Pros Really easy to use even if your not an expert in web scraping. The API documentation is clear and the proxy rotation works perfectly, I rarely get blocked anymore. Javascript rendering works great even on complex websites. Support team is reactive when I had issues. Good value for money compared to other solutions I tried before. Cons Credits can go pretty fast if you do alot of requests, need to watch your budget carefully. Sometimes I wish there were more options to manage cookies between sessions. The documentation could have more real-world examples for specific use cases. Review Source MM Megan M. Principal Investigator Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### " Reliable Web Scraping Without the Headaches" February 24, 2026 5.0 Overall positive experience. I use Scrapfly as part of a larger AI research platform for web content extraction and data gathering. It was easy to integrate into our Node.js backend, and it reliably handles sites that would otherwise block automated requests. It does what it promises — takes the pain out of dealing with anti-bot protections and lets us focus on what we actually want to do with the data rather than fighting to access it. Pros The API is straightforward to integrate and handles the complexity of web scraping behind the scenes; proxy rotation, anti-bot bypass, and JavaScript rendering all just work without having to manage that infrastructure ourselves. The content extraction is reliable for pulling structured data from pages, which saves a lot of manual parsing work. Cons Credits can run out faster than expected on heavy scraping jobs, and the pricing can add up if you're doing large-scale crawling. Clearer usage estimates or a dashboard showing projected credit burn rate would help with planning. Review Source Victor A. CTO Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "AI Agents LOVE ScrapFly" January 6, 2026 5.0 Awesome sauce! I'll keep using them as a big part of my AI automations going forward, they'll definitely make access a breeze Pros I've created a web crawling company in the past; the interface and speed of the crawls here is excellent and I get back exactly what I'd expect. Cons Nothing, I generally like all the controls I get. The residential proxies are key when looking to acquire hard to get data. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer AI developer Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "simple and useful" April 14, 2026 5.0 I solved a scraping problem with scrapFly while it was impossible doing it with any other one. i tried. Pros simple solution! just get an api key and launch it! you can scrape whatever you want with really good comparable price. Cons nothing! maybe their authentication process could be faster and somehow automated using many available solutions or 3rd party companies. Review Source EN Emil N. Developer Program Development Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Reliable and easy-to-use scraping API" November 10, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been positive. The signup and setup process were quick, and the API worked as expected once configured. The platform is stable and performs well, making it a solid option for both quick tests and production use, provided you manage your credits carefully. Pros Scrapfly is straightforward to set up and easy to use. The documentation is clear, and the API is well-structured, making integration smooth. Performance is stable, and response times are consistently fast. It’s a practical solution for web scraping projects that need reliability and minimal setup effort. Cons The public\_datacenter\_pool proxy did not work well for me — the very first API call was blocked, so I had to switch to the residential\_pool, which costs 25 credits per API call. This makes testing a bit expensive on lower plans. Additionally, the limited credits in the smaller plans can feel restrictive for regular use. Review Source BH Besh H. Software developer Information Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My Go To, Amazing Tool " April 28, 2026 5.0 Works amazing for my needs. If your targets are mostly unprotected or lightly protected, it saves real infrastructure time. 10/10 would recommend and they have a great UI too. Pros ScrapFly’s API is well documented and easy to integrate. The managed proxy rotation and JavaScript rendering via a single endpoint is genuinely convenient compared to self-hosting those layers. Love it and all I’ll be using from now on. Cons It would be amazing if credits can be passed on to the following month but I understand the business model. I just pay for 200000 coins and only use 60000. Review Source MC Matthew C. Founder Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Enjoy using scrapfly!!!!" December 6, 2025 5.0 Great stability & education for users. I love the experience with scrapfly and I would definitely keep using it. Pros I love the stability of scrapfly when handling the esty scraping. So far success rate still keep 100%. And I also love that scrapfly include a very thorough academy towards web scraping which is super helpful for me to equip myself as a junior data engineer. Cons Since I am a junior data engineer, i need to use a little time to check on documentations in finding relevant information regarding the esty setup. But after that, everything is smooth. Review Source Peerawit K. Software developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Takes 5 mins to start scraping" February 22, 2026 5.0 Pros Ease of use. Docs are easy to understand. Dashboard is not a maze and very straightforward. Took me 5 mins to get what I need. And for my use case, success rate has been 100%. Cons There's nothing I don't like about Scrapfly really but the thing I like least is that there is no Pay as You Go since my scraping needs vary month to month. Review Source LL Lukas L. Software engineer Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A satisfied customer " April 20, 2026 5.0 Overall, I am very satisfied so far, it bypasses vercel's bot security checkpoint like it's nothing, v useful scraping tool Pros ease of use, clarity of pricing and features included, overall UI and UX, very convenient, also, most competitive price out there! Cons honestly at the moment I haven't found anything I didn't like, I have nothing to complain about at the moment Review Source MM Márkó M. I am student. Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My opinion" November 15, 2025 5.0 My overall experience is not much yet, because I do not use it so much time, but it is clearly positive, as I did not have any problem with the things I got. Pros It provides a lot of useful feature for scraping, so it made my work better and easier to develop my application. Cons As a new client I have not found anything I did not like on scrapfly, as I think the UI can be handled easily, and all the scraping method I use has a unique example on the descreption, so I have not found anything I do not like on scrapfly yet. Review Source CC Carlo C. Account executive Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good for new folks" November 24, 2025 5.0 Great for people who just needs something plug and play. Would be great to see info for optimization. Pros Ease of use. Value for money. With AI, learning curve is easy. very good that i can easily track my api usage. Cons Im burning through credits when it fails. Nothing really to hate about it. It's plug and play. It tries to scrape what you give it. Review Source VO Val O. Sr Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A must have for the serious scraping project" November 13, 2025 5.0 As mentioned the python sdk is great and intuitive it also works well with other frameworks like asyncio with just url slugs so the setup is versatile. Features like asp and javascript rendering take most of the headaches out of scraping Pros Very easy to use with python, reliable proxies, and pretty good concurrency. The dashboard UI is helpful and intuitive, the docs are plentiful. Cons Had a few cost spikes on some requests, in general the cost per scrape can get rather high if your'e scraping sites that require the use of the more advanced features. Unfortunately most sites worth scraping fall in this category Review Source RM Ryan M. Owner Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Holy Scrapfly! So many tools!" February 22, 2026 5.0 Overall my experience was great. I couldnt believe all the tools they had at their dispense. I found several others that i plan to use as soon as i build my business up. Pros Very user friendly platform. Everything was very easy to understand. Straightforward with no hidden surprises at checkout. Cons I dont like the minimum that is required to scrap with X. i only used 32,000 credits out of 1,000,000. so now im trying to find other ways to use the rest. i sure hope they dont go away after a month.
