01
ScrapingBee

General-purpose scraping API with JS rendering and rotating proxies.

Why compare

Large included volume if you stay on plain requests.

Watch for

JS rendering and premium proxies burn credits 5-25x. Headline volume is misleading.

02
ZenRows

Anti-bot bypass scraping API with a universal endpoint.

Why compare

Strongest pitch on protected sites.

Watch for

Entry price is highest of the four; multipliers apply as with ScrapingBee.

03
Crawlbase

Web data infrastructure: crawl, scrape and deliver structured JSON

Why compare

Its single credit balance across crawling, proxies, storage and scrapers, with success-only billing, sets it apart from per-request APIs.

Watch for

JavaScript rendering doubles credits and site difficulty multipliers (up to x20) apply automatically, so headline per-1,000 rates understate spend on hard sites.

04
Scrape.do

Web scraping API with rotating proxies, WAF bypass and JS rendering

Why compare

Scrape.do is a credit-based scraping API that combines proxies, bypass and rendering, with per-domain pricing that can raise the cost of some sites.

Watch for

Credits are per successful request and per-domain costs range from 1 to 200 credits, and the Free tier, credit-reset cadence and geo-country count are stated inconsistently across pages.

ScraperAPI

Scraping API with proxies, JS rendering and CAPTCHA handling included

Why compare

Credit-based scraping API that includes proxies, JS rendering and anti-bot handling on every plan, with ready-made structured endpoints for major marketplaces and Google.

Watch for

The pages do not state how many credits a JS-rendered or premium-proxy request costs; the FAQ questions on per-domain credit costs have no visible answers, so verify before comparing costs.

06
Scrapfly

One API key for scraping, browsers, and AI agents across the web.

Why compare

One credit pool covers scraping, browser, screenshot and extraction calls, so a single plan funds several tools.

Watch for

Credit cost rises with JS rendering (5x), residential proxies (25x) and screenshots (60x), and the success-rate and competitor claims on the site are vendor-stated.

07
ScrapingAnt

Scraping API with headless Chrome, rotating proxies and AI extraction

Why compare

ScrapingAnt bundles headless Chrome, rotating proxies and AI extraction behind one API, with a free monthly credit allowance and no concurrency cap on any plan.

Watch for

The pricing page does not state how many credits a JS-rendered or premium-proxy request costs, and standalone proxies are billed per GB with no published prices, so real cost per page is unclear until you test.
