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 — all while maintaining a 95%+ success rate.
What is Scrapfly?
Scrapfly is a subscription-based scraping API with plans that ladder from Free (1,000 one-time credits) → Discovery ($30/mo, 200K credits, 5 concurrency) → Pro ($100/mo, 1M credits, 20 concurrency) → Startup ($250/mo, 2.5M, 50) → Enterprise ($500/mo, 5.5M, 100) → Custom. A single request multiplies the base credit cost by +5 for JS rendering, +25 for residential proxies, and more for browser verification handling, so the effective rate for a JS-rendered request with verification handling on the Discovery plan lands around $3.91 per 1,000 scrapes. Credits reset every month and do not roll over; a "fairness policy" can suspend accounts when failure rates cross ~30%. Where Scrapfly is ahead: it launched a Proxy Mode (HTTP CONNECT) endpoint in February 2026 that Scrappey does not yet offer, and it ships a dedicated Screenshot API with element capture and accessibility (vision-deficiency) modes.

Scrappey vs Scrapfly: feature-by-feature
Every claim is verifiable from the vendor's public documentation.
| Feature | Scrappey | Scrapfly |
|---|---|---|
Entry commitment ★ | None (PAYG) | Monthly plan (~$30/mo Discovery through $500/mo Enterprise) |
Pricing model ★ | Flat €0.20/1K HTTP · €1.00/1K full-browser | Credits with +5 JS, +25 residential, +more verification-handling multipliers |
Credit expiration ★ | Balance never expires | Credits reset every month — no rollover on any plan below Enterprise |
Concurrent requests ★ | 200 on every plan (including free) | 5 / 20 / 50 / 100 tied to plan tier |
AI-agent integrations ★ | Native MCP server, LangChain, LlamaIndex, n8n, Zapier, Claude Code Skill, CLI | None advertised |
Browser automation depth ★ | 30+ named actions (Click, Wait, Scroll, Execute JS, Navigation, …) with no documented script size limit | ~7 core actions (click, fill, wait, wait_for_selector, wait_for_navigation, scroll, execute) with a 16KB max script and 25s execution cap |
Session persistence | Persistent profiles lasting 1–1,000 requests | 30-second session cache (no-cache + session combo) |
Residential proxies | Included in every request — no separate billing | Available, costs +25 credits per request (effectively 25× the base rate) |
Free trial | Free trial, then PAYG | 1,000 credits one-time (burns in ~30 full-browser scrapes) |
Proxy mode (HTTP CONNECT) Honest trade-off: if you need a drop-in HTTP proxy endpoint today, Scrapfly ships one and Scrappey does not. | Not yet | Yes (launched Feb 2026) |
Screenshot endpoint Scrapfly is ahead on screenshot depth today. | Screenshots supported via browser actions | Dedicated Screenshot API with element capture, full-page, dark mode, accessibility vision-deficiency modes |
Browser verification handling | Included on the browser tier — no surcharge | Strong, but adds credit multipliers on top of base request cost |
LLM-ready Markdown | Yes | Partial |
Public Discord / community | Active Discord — founder answers directly | None |
