What is Scrappey?

Scrappey is an all-in-one web scraping API designed to simplify data extraction from modern websites. It bundles JavaScript rendering, residential/datacenter proxies, and browser verification workflow support into a single per-request price — no subscription, no minimum spend.

Built for developers, data engineers, and AI/RAG builders, Scrappey runs authorized browser sessions with challenge handling, renders JavaScript, and returns content in HTML, JSON, or LLM-ready Markdown. You only pay for successful requests.

What is Scrape.do?

Scrape.do is a subscription-based scraping API with plans from Hobby ($29/mo, 250K credits) through Pro ($99/mo), Business ($249/mo) and Advanced ($699/mo), plus a free tier of 1,000 calls per month. Requests are weighted: 1 credit basic, 5 with rendering, 10 with residential/mobile ("super") proxies and 25 for both, and some domains have fixed higher costs. A rendered residential request works out to about $2.90 per 1,000 on Hobby. Where Scrape.do is ahead: it ships a proxy-mode endpoint Scrappey does not yet offer, n8n and Zapier integrations, and a growing set of dedicated site APIs.
