Tech Lead Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scrapfly is good" December 7, 2025 4.0 Generally very good. Still investigating in complex senarios and scrappers. My rating, around 8.5 out of 10. Pros Developer-friendly API. I like the API design and the scrapper framework, together with many available scrappers. Cons Relatively expensive to our small team when scrapping large (blob) files, such as PDF docs, videos, etc. Review Source GC Giulio C. founder Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best scraping api out there" April 17, 2025 5.0 I've tried a lot of Scraping apis from Zenrows to ScrapingBee and Scrapfly is not only the most cost-effective but also the fastest from what I've seen. Pros It's fast and reasonably priced. Scrapfly support has responded quickly every time I've had an issue so far. Cons UI is a bit outdated, but it still has everything you need there. Switched from [ZenRows](https://www.capterra.com/p/237290/ZenRows/) Too expensive + they were very inflexible and wanted me to pay extra to see my spending analytics Review Source LR Luke R. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent anti-bot bypass" January 30, 2025 5.0 Good experience so far. I use this solution as redundancy for a cheaper offering that doesn't need all of the bells and whistles. Although the price is reasonable, so I may have to re-evaluate. Pros The automatic bypassing of anti-bot protection works wonders. I love how requests are upgraded without any manual intervention. This works better than any other solutions that I've tried and can bypass WAFs with overzealous policies such as Imperva. Cons Manual account approval, although I suspect that this is to stop duplicate accounts and misusage of the tool. Alternatives considered [ScrapingAnt](https://www.capterra.com/p/214735/ScrapingAnt/)[ZenRows](https://www.capterra.com/p/237290/ZenRows/)[ScraperAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/238595/Scraper-API/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly Handled anti-bot bypass the best. Not the cheapest, but the most reliable. Review Source BT Bryan T. Engineer Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Reliable and Just Works" February 11, 2025 5.0 ScrapFly has been a reliable solution for us to gather the business data we need to operate. Will continue to be a customer. Pros ScrapFly had out of the box scraper examples ready to be used and extended. And it perfectly fit our use case and continues to serve us well. Cons The monthly subscription model with tiered credits doesn't perfectly fit Alternatives considered [Browse AI](https://www.capterra.com/p/246180/Browse-AI/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly Cost effective and allowed customization through code. Review Source PV Pedro V. Lead Analyst Security and Investigations Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### ""Seamless Integration and Effortless Data Extraction"" April 7, 2025 5.0 Using Scrapfly was a smooth experience overall. I appreciated how quickly I could integrate it into my existing systems, and the intuitive flow made it easy to extract and process data efficiently. The tool exceeded my expectations by providing a hassle-free setup and a user-friendly interface, which is a big plus for anyone looking to streamline their web scraping tasks. Pros Easy integration. Clear and intuitive workflow. Quick to understand and use. Cons Honestly, nothing significant to dislike Review Source JG Jay G. Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent service that gives me exactly what I want" February 11, 2025 5.0 It's been great so far in the 2 months I've been using it. I use the Typescript SDK, which is typed well, and the results are exactly what I want. The pricing is also competitive and good compared to alternative services. Pros The documentation is really helpful and easy to understand. The service itself is also easy to use and works well. Furthermore, when I did encounter a problem, I contacted the support team who responded within a few hours and solved my problem. Cons Only negative for me is that the dashboard isn't mobile friendly so I can't check debug logs on my phone. But I've only ever wanted to do that once, so not a huge issue at all. Review Source MO Maxim O. Machine Learning Engineer Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very pleasant experience" June 30, 2025 5.0 Pros Scrapfly is incredibly easy to use and has powerful features for web scraping at scale and rapid support. Totally recommend! Cons Some advanced features have a slight learning curve, and integrating with custom workflows required a bit of trial and error. But overall it's not so difficult Switched from [Octoparse](https://www.capterra.com/p/150508/Octoparse/) More fine grained configuration and customization Review Source Phúc M. Researcher Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Highly Recommend for data extraction" February 3, 2025 5.0 So far so good. I still want to extend my subscription. Pros They help me to extract data from Linkedin to support our research paper work. Also it's user-friendly. Cons The payment process sometimes gets me confused. Review Source BD Blake D. Founder and Lead Engineer Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Would definitely recommend Scrapfly" June 4, 2025 5.0 I'd describe my experience as largely positive and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs scraping, especially if you need a few more features. Pros Scrapfly has been easy to set up and very transparent in their pricing. I haven't had any nasty surprises pop up and I can usually plan out my usage accurately so I don't have to worry about a huge bill. Cons I haven't had any real problems with Scrapfly yet. I guess it would benice to have a plan in between discovery and pro since my monthly usage is just above the limit for discovery and way under pro. And the discovery tier doesn't offer pay as you go. Review Source KF Kevin F. Student Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A game-changer for students to learn how to mine text data" November 15, 2024 5.0 As a master's student in linguistics working on text mining projects, Scrapfly has been an invaluable tool in my research journey. I was impressed by the platform's comprehensive documentation and robust support system. Scrapfly bridges the gap between students and professional-grade web scraping. It empowers students to learn advanced techniques without feeling overwhelmed, giving us a competitive edge in both academia and beyond. I highly recommend Scrapfly to students who want to explore text and data mining in a structured and accessible way. Pros The detailed guides made it very easy to set up and handle complex scraping tasks, even for someone like me who only has little programming skills. Whenever I faced challenges, like dealing with website's java script requiring 'human' interactions, Scrapfly’s support team and resources were quick to provide effective solutions. Cons I find it quite hard to say what I didn't like. Maybe the fact that there were no "student's discounts", at least to the time I used it. But at the end of the day, the discovery plan for 30$ was just right and had all that I needed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Higher Education Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "fast scrap for big data but you need code more" January 13, 2025 4.0 it was good and made my task easier which cuts time in coding and legal side of creating valid business with tax details Pros i dont have to create legal business for facebook Cons i had to code extra for comments guide was to vague i had to find a correct way Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CTO Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing experience" March 7, 2025 5.0 Amazing, perfect way to start with scrapping without any complexity (I tried my own scrapping stack with a proxy service) Pros Very easy to use, the snippets of code are a very fast way to start and try. But killer feature is definitely the cap scraping budget. Amazing way to control expenses. Cons Sometimes scrapping fails because of credit cap, but I guess that's good for my budget Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Takes the guess work out of scraping" December 2, 2024 5.0 Overall, this is a super cool technology that takes the guess work out of scraping websites for business data. I am a developer who could spend weeks figuring out scraping and setting up infrastructure, but I'd rather just pay a small fee to have this taken care of for me. Pros It is pretty easy to use and has a high success rate for my use case. Cons I wish I could buy credits in bulk each month. The use it or lose it is kind of hard for small businesses like mine who may not have too many paying customers early on. Alternatives considered [ScrapingBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/195060/ScrapingBee/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly I saw a reddit post that covered my use case. The docs seemed easy and the pricing seemed fair. Review Source PP Pujan P. Graduate Research Assistant Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best in terms of value and uptime" April 14, 2025 5.0 I was looking for a service that would allow me to crawl a large number of domains. Scrapfly was the best / most cost effective service I found after trying multiple solutions. Pros The API is straightforward to use. I have had 99% of success rate on my scrape jobs. Cons Sometimes the number of API credits needed for scraping a website can jump very high, on protected websites Review Source SD Sinisha D. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Highly reliable scraping service with an easy API" April 18, 2025 5.0 Pros Scrapfly provides a high availability service with a very clean API. Scraping requests complete quickly and give reliable results Cons 25x credit cost for YouTube requests is way too expensive, and the extra cost is not immediately obvious from the pricing page. Low concurrency limit for entry tiers Review Source MA Matteo A. CEO Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Flawless value for money" October 22, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy integration with other tools and api. I've used it in combination with python script and it worked very well. Cons I don't have any particular element to mention about things i did not like. It worked for what it was supposed to do well. Review Source NM Nicolas M. Developer Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best scrape service I've tested" November 25, 2024 5.0 I discovered Scrapfly on X when I was already using another scraping service with which I was moderately satisfied. I was able to try Scrapfly free of charge with a significant number of credits. Finally, as Scrapfly was better, faster and cheaper, I stopped my subscription to the other service to take Scrafly. Pros Scrapfly is a very efficient scraping service: it's fast, it bypasses virtually all restrictions, and the scrape can be returned in a variety of formats, including markdown. Prices are attractive and support has always been very responsive. Cons For websites that require JS rendering, you can either activate rendering at each scrape, which is more costly in terms of credits, or manage a list of websites that require JS rendering to be activated. Switched from [ScraperAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/238595/Scraper-API/) Better, faster, cheaper, better support. Review Source BV Bharathi V.

Pros Yes, I have tried many scraping APIs, Scrapfly is definitely the most stable one, API design is very mature. it is very much cost-efficiency, and the dashboard is very useful. Cons Maybe the credit cost mechanism is not very clear. Switched from [ScrapingAnt](https://www.capterra.com/p/214735/ScrapingAnt/) ScrapingAnt is very not stable.ScrapingAnt is very not stable.
