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 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 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 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 VR Verified Reviewer CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Overall good" February 15, 2026 4.0 Easy to get started. The dashboard is fairly well laid out. Overall may occassionally use it as long as prices competitive. Pros Worked on most my scraping needs. I would prefer a plan in between the 30 dollar amd 100 dollar one and under 50. Cons Maybe its the ampunt pf scraping I would like to do but a little expensive. Could offer higher usage. Alternatives considered [Competitors App](https://www.capterra.com/p/179374/Competitors-App/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly Trying different products and pricing may switch mostly on procing. Review Source OD Omar D. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love Scrapfly" June 5, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy of use. You can get started in a few minutes and scrape hard to scrape sites with relative easy. Cons I don't fully understand the credit system. It's hard to gauge my spend for the month. But not a big deal. Switched from [Bright Data](https://www.capterra.com/p/208755/Bright-Data/) bright data was too hard to use. Couldn't get it working fast. Review Source OC Ole C. COO Industrial Automation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Value and Reliable Performance with a Manageable Learning Curve" April 20, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Scrapfly has been quite positive. The platform strikes a good balance between powerful functionality and ease of use, making it suitable for both smaller projects and more advanced scraping tasks. Getting started was relatively smooth, and once everything was set up, it became clear how much time it can save compared to building and maintaining your own scraping infrastructure. One of the standout aspects is the reliability of the scraping results. Requests are handled efficiently, and the system does a good job of managing common challenges like blocking and dynamic content. The debugging tools also make a noticeable difference, as they allow you to quickly identify issues and fine-tune your requests without too much trial and error. That said, there is still a bit of a learning curve, especially when diving into more advanced features or optimizing performance. However, once you get familiar with the platform, it becomes a very effective and dependable solution. Overall, Scrapfly delivers strong performance, good value for money, and a solid user experience. Pros One of the biggest advantages of Scrapfly is its very competitive pricing compared to similar tools on the market. It offers great value for money, especially considering the range of features included. Another strong point is how easy it is to set up. Even without extensive prior experience, getting started is relatively straightforward, which saves a lot of time during the onboarding phase. The quality of the scraping is also very reliable. Requests are handled efficiently, and the results are consistent, even when working with more complex websites. On top of that, the debugging tools are particularly useful. They make it much easier to identify and fix issues quickly, which improves overall workflow and productivity. Overall, Scrapfly provides a solid combination of affordability, ease of use, and dependable performance. Cons One issue is pricing transparency. It can be a bit difficult to fully understand how usage translates into costs, particularly when dealing with large-scale scraping tasks. This makes it harder to predict expenses in advance. Additionally, performance can occasionally be inconsistent depending on the target website, and troubleshooting these issues is not always straightforward. Overall, while Scrapfly offers strong capabilities, the learning curve and lack of simplicity were the aspects I liked least. Review Source MC Maxime C. SEO and Data Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All-in-one scraping platform that simply works" November 22, 2025 5.0 My experience has been consistently positive from start to finish. The platform delivers on its promises without unnecessary complexity. The free tier offers enough credits to thoroughly evaluate the service before committing financially. When I needed support, \[sensitive content hidden\] was responsive and helpful, resolving my questions promptly (even under free-tier). I particularly appreciated the straightforward, no-pressure approach, no aggressive upselling or intrusive marketing tactics. The service simply works well and lets you focus on your scraping projects rather than fighting with the tool itself. Pros Scrapfly delivers a complete scraping toolkit with everything I need in one platform: residential proxies, anti-bot bypass technology, and extraction templates that significantly streamline advanced automation workflows. The documentation is thorough and well-organized. What impressed me most is how beginner-friendly it is. There's no need to juggle separate proxy providers or anti-bot services since everything is integrated seamlessly. Cons My only reservation is the pricing structure. The entry plan starts at $30/month, which represents a significant jump from the free tier. An intermediate option around $15/month would provide a more gradual onboarding path and would actually align better with my current usage needs. This middle-tier pricing would make the service more accessible for solo developers and small projects. Review Source YT Yingming T. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Reliable scraping platform that saves a lot of engineering time" April 7, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Scrapfly has been positive. It is a strong solution for teams that need reliable data extraction without building and maintaining a full scraping infrastructure internally. The product is especially useful when stability matters more than using the cheapest possible tool. It has helped reduce engineering overhead and made collection workflows more manageable. Pros What I liked most about Scrapfly is that it reduces a lot of the operational pain that normally comes with web scraping. Instead of spending time managing proxies, retries, and anti-bot workarounds, we can focus more on the data itself. The API is well designed, the documentation is clear, and the platform feels dependable for real-world data extraction tasks. Cons The main downside is pricing at scale. If your workload grows quickly or you run a large number of requests, the cost can become noticeable. There is also a learning curve if you want to fully optimize request settings and use advanced features efficiently, so it may take some time before a new user gets the most value from the platform. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great, if you know what you're doing" January 7, 2026 5.0 Meant for developers, which I appreciate. This is not meant for users who don't feel comfortable with an API. Pros It works well and it's cost-effective. Other solutions failed for what I was trying to do but Scrapfly worked right away. Cons A bit of a learning curve, but that's what I would expect with this type of product. There are a lot of features so you have to spend some time making sense of things. Review Source Andrew M. Founder Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scrapfly newbie & loving it!" January 3, 2026 5.0 Perfect for scraping difficult e-commerce sites. If you just need simple HTML, it might be overkill, but for tough targets, it's essential. Pros The Anti-Scraping Protection (ASP) is absolutely magic. It bypasses Cloudflare and Datadome effortlessly. Cons ​Advanced features like JS rendering burn credits fast. You must optimize to save money. The concurrency limit can also be slightly more explained. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Works as intended." March 12, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Scrapfly has been very positive. I’m very happy with the platform and especially enjoy using the API, which is powerful, reliable, and easy to integrate into my workflows. Pros The ease of use stood out immediately. Scrapfly made it simple to start scraping data without complicated setup, and the documentation and tools were clear. Cons As of today, I haven’t found anything I dislike about Scrapfly. The platform works as expected, the features perform reliably, and the overall experience has been smooth so far. Review Source Bohdan D. 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 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.

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.

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 RL Richard L. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent service for scraping difficult websites" April 11, 2026 5.0 Pros I most like the Anti Scraping Protection (ASP) API for accessing web pages that block regular bots. This saves me time not needing to keep on top of how the latest bot protection works. Cons The price for Anti Scraping Protection (ASP) - unfortunately it's expensive at scale so only practical for targeted use cases.
