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.

February 24, 2026 5.0 Pros Easy integration, developer friendly, simple onboarding, value credits isn't too bad, good packages. Cons UI is not mobile friendly, would like usage reports if possible, also debugging tools would be great. Alternatives considered [Bright Data](https://www.capterra.com/p/208755/Bright-Data/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly BrightData wasn't working for my use-case. They were getting blocked. 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.

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 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 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 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 FS Franz S. AI Agent Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scrapfly - First Impressions from a Junior dev" June 27, 2025 4.0 A great tool that so far, has had an answer to any of my scraping needs. Supported by an easy to navigate dashboard with clear metrics and information. For the price, Scrapfly has provided plenty of value and has been easily integrated with my work. Pros Affordable pricing while offering extensive tools and functionality, not only through APIs but with built-in features along with clear analytics and documentation. Cons At one point, ASP shielding went from reliable to not functional overnight for Crunchbase scraping, though that could be a temporary issue as ASP is constantly updated.

Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a dependable scraping API. Pros Review of Scrapfly API I’ve tried a number of scraping APIs, and Scrapfly was the only one that consistently delivered exactly what I needed. Other services either failed on tougher sites or didn’t offer the flexibility I was looking for, but Scrapfly’s API key worked smoothly every time. The setup was straightforward, and their documentation made it easy to get started quickly. Performance has been reliable, and I appreciate how it handles the tricky parts of scraping that usually cause headaches. Cons Potential cons could include higher costs at very large scale, a mild learning curve for new users, and rare site compatibility issues. Review Source MC Matthew C.

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.
