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
Runs headless browsers in the cloud for automation and scraping, handling the infrastructure, proxies and session management that make browser automation painful to self-host.
Who it is for
Developers automating browsers at scale, and increasingly people building agents that need to use a website.
Where it is strongest
Browser automation that has to run reliably and in parallel. Running one headless browser locally is easy; running fifty without them falling over is the problem this solves.
Where it falls short
Priced per browser-hour, which adds up quickly with long sessions. Sites with serious bot protection still win. And it does not make your automation less brittle — a redesign still breaks it.
Our verdict
Recommended when browser automation is already working and you need it to scale. It does not solve the hard part, which is that websites change.
