SCRAPING & DATA EXTRACTION

Paid links. We earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It never changes our ranking — see how we rank.
Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
Web data infrastructure at scale: large proxy networks, scraping tools and ready-made datasets, with a compliance framework around collection.
Who it is for
Companies for whom web data is an input to the business rather than an occasional need.
Where it is strongest
Large-scale collection that has to keep working. The proxy infrastructure and the maintained datasets are what you cannot build yourself cheaply.
Where it falls short
Priced for companies, with contracts to match. Complex to use well. And scraping at this scale raises legal questions that their framework helps with but does not remove — the liability stays with you.
Our verdict
Recommended at genuine scale. For smaller needs, ScrapingBee or Apify cost a fraction and do the same job.
