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 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 VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good place to get started for general scraping, doesn't work well for screenshots" February 3, 2025 3.0 Support is very limited on the basic plan Pros Quick and easy to get started, no issues with IP and being blocked Cons The screenshot feature does not work well, it doesn't render a lot of website correctly 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.

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 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 Y. Selim G. Founder Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best API for Bypassing Anti-Bot Protection" April 14, 2026 5.0 My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Scrapfly functions as a "set-and-forget" middle layer for data extraction. Before switching, we spent 30% of our development cycle just maintaining proxy pools and fighting 403 errors. Scrapfly has effectively offloaded that entire infrastructure burden. The dashboard provides great observability into success rates and latency, making it easy to justify the cost through the sheer amount of engineering time saved. Pros The Anti-Bot Detection bypass is easily the standout feature. Scrapfly handles Cloudflare, Akamai, and Datadome challenges more reliably than almost any other SDK I’ve used. The ASP (Anti-Scraping Protection) system saves dozens of hours that would otherwise be spent on custom header rotation and fingerprinting. Additionally, having a built-in headless browser (rendering JS) via a simple API parameter makes the transition from simple GET requests to complex dynamic scraping seamless. Cons The pricing structure for API credits can be a bit steep if you are doing massive, high-volume crawls that require full JavaScript rendering, as those "cost" significantly more credits per request. Also, while the documentation is generally excellent, the Python SDK could benefit from more niche examples regarding complex post-request scenarios or specific session persistence edge cases.

Managing Member Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The only scraper that doesn't get blocked" April 17, 2026 5.0 Love using scrapfly, would highly recommend it. Their scraper set up is easily superior to something like firecrawl (firecrawl gets blocked often and is easy to replicate). Pros Scrapfly's ability to avoid detection from heavily protected websites is incredible. Failures are easy to spot with a combination of helpful screenshots and logs. Did I mention they're able to trigger/store downloads? This is super useful for when you're automating around public export data. Their LLM integrations and documentation is excellent as well which makes it that much easier to build with. Cons The only thing I dislike about Scrapfly is that there aren't as many options when you're scraping so you'll find yourself dropping to raw javascript to trigger actions which can be highly problematic in certain sites. More tooling around what you can do with scraping would be great. I would also like lower priced tiers or more pay-as-you-go pricing to unlock the full usage. Review Source DD Denis D. CEO Broadcast Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Surpasses most of the major scraping providers " December 31, 2025 5.0 Better success rate that surpasses some scraping providers that say they offer top service but they dont. Pros First i was skeptical but the integration and the success rate are awesome! The render capabilities are perfect. Cons For now i cant point something that i dont like. I tried scraping with the basic settings and the render options and i have 99% success rate.

Switched from [ScraperAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/238595/Scraper-API/) Better success rate and better rendering capabilities. Review Source PN Peter N. Founder Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Datadome busting" October 21, 2025 5.0 Great. I tried making my own scraper with proxy switching and data done solving, to get cheaper than scrapfly, but my solution was very unreliable and Scrapfly is 100% worth it. Pros It works. Via API it has an absolutely phenomenal captcha silver and manages to get through some difficult Datadome challenges. Cons Sometimes it'll timeout, which isn't that major of an issue, and I was able to get around it but, naturally this will be an issue with more users. Alternatives considered [PhantomBuster](https://www.capterra.com/p/173165/Phantombuster/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly Reliable and works with a nice API that has foot error logging. 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.

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 Faten A. AI Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent and Reliable Web Scraping Solution" February 20, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Scrapfly has been excellent. It helped me automate a very difficult task that would have been nearly impossible to complete manually. The performance is consistent, the API responses are fast, and the documentation made integration simple. It significantly reduced development time and improved the efficiency of my workflow. Pros Scrapfly is very easy to use and well documented. The setup process was straightforward, and I was able to start scraping data within minutes. The API is reliable, fast, and handles complex websites smoothly. I especially appreciate how it manages proxies and anti-bot challenges automatically, which saves a lot of time and effort. Cons So far, I haven’t experienced any major issues. Everything has worked as expected, and the platform has been stable and reliable. If anything, more beginner-friendly examples or additional tutorials for advanced use cases could make it even better, but overall I am very satisfied. Review Source Tormund G. CTO Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great tool that easily get you started" November 8, 2025 5.0 I have tried several similar services, but none of them was as easy to get started with. It just worked. Pros It was easy to get started, and the service was reliable. They provided me with everything I needed, and I got to test it out with free credits. So I could verify that it was working for my use case, before committing. Cons It did cost some money beyond the free credits, but it was well worth it. The UI is a bit wonky and rough around the edges, but as a developer my self, I can understand the priority. But after all, everything worked, and that is the most important thing.

CTO Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good straightforward service" December 30, 2025 5.0 Overall, it has been a positive experience with no complains, hopefully it will be the same in the long run Pros Simplicity and the documentation. I have just started using it, but so far tech support has been helpful for me. Cons Not many cons so far, the only one I can mention is that the cost for residential proxies is too steep. Review Source yB yitzchak B. software engineer Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Overall one of the most convenient scraping APIs to date" October 28, 2025 5.0 Great experience, stable API that works properly with a wide ability to configure almost every possible parameter Pros Clear documentation, a quality SDK for Python, and the only service that provides a convenient starting point for small projects. Cons It would be nice if there were another intermediate program. For me, the most useful would be templates within the SDK itself, ready for well-known websites, but not critical at all, and took very little time to set up. Review Source Mikhail N. ceo Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "must have for scrapping" January 29, 2026 5.0 scrapfly works well for me when I need to scrape search results but can’t use (or don’t have) a google api. Pros great replacement for search scrapping, bypassing capchas and blocks. one api for most search engines Cons so far nothing I dislike, all works perfectly and fits my use cases perfectly.

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 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 TP Tomas P. CEO Fine Art Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy setup, good support, rich variety of target websites to fit your research needs." November 16, 2025 5.0 Would highly recommend. Looking forward to using it periodically for market trend, competitor analysis on Etsy and later other websites too. Pros Team Support has been very helpful in troubleshooting. I burnt my freemium quota quite quickly as i was modifying scripts for additional information to extract, team offered help and assistance. After which i immediately opted in to a paid plan, nice to have proactive team reaching out. It has helped my market research analysis on Etsy website a lot. Cons Perhaps links to relevant python dirs and examples on how to modify information, im new python, ao it took me few evenings to figure it out, existing code is already useful for modifiations, but some documentation would be nice. There were test scripts, but those were harder to run than the production scripts Review Source Martin T. CPO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good scraping service, even with heavily protected websites. " December 7, 2025 4.0 Overall, the experience is fluid and easy. I particularly appreciate the python sdk that I can integrate anywhere in my code. Pros The efficiency of the service: how it enables to capture, even heavily protected pages at scale and how it simplified my in-house deployment architecture. Cons The learning curve is quite steep, making it sometimes difficult to find the right call to make for data acquisition. The saving grace was the customer support that provided me with one working example that I was able to work with and finish my scraping project. Review Source RM Ryan M.

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.
