Scrapfly

What it is for

Scrapfly is a hosted Monitoring desk: you open a scrape log, and Free is $0 (1,000 API credits on signup). Use it when the job is a scrape you inspect at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is Scrapfly’s official Monitoring list (15 logs, 84 API credits, duration>=6 method=GET,POST retries=false domain=*.amazon.com, web-scraping.dev/product/1 and amazon.com/…Kindle-Paperwhite… rows) from the docs still — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of Monitoring.

Key features

• Monitoring — a request log you filter by URL, status, cost, and duration (cover still; docs). One desk. Cover 15 logs / 84 API credits / *.amazon.com sit here.
• Web Scraping API — a URL you fetch with Unblocker (ASP) and optional JS render (getting started; pricing). A scrape, not the log row. Failed requests are $0.
• Cloud Browser — a remote Chromium you drive over Playwright / Puppeteer / CDP (docs). A session, not a one-shot scrape.
• Extraction API — an LLM prompt or JSON schema over HTML you already have (docs; pricing). A parse, not the fetch.
• Crawler API — a site-wide walk with a policy and a budget (docs; pricing). A crawl, not one Monitoring row.

The API Player / playground is ops of the same scrape (not a sixth desk). Screenshot API sits on the same credit key. Free / Discovery / Pro tiles are the meter. Extra credits / 10k are the extra meter, not a desk we fold into Monitoring.

Who it's for

Best fit: scraper teams who will burn the Free 1,000 credits at $0 while they open a first Monitoring list, then Discovery at $30/month (200,000 credits) when the quota caps, or Pro at $100 when they need pay-as-you-go overflow.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from scrapfly.io/pricing. Figures below are the printed USD monthly tiles we fetched (JSON-LD + plan table). Annual billing prints 2 months free (~16% off).

• Free — $0. 1,000 API credits on signup. No card. 5 concurrency. Quota cap (no extras).
• Discovery — $30/month. 200,000 credits. Extra $5.00 / 10k. 5 concurrency. Quota cap. 2 projects. 5 schedules. Log retention 1 week.
• Pro — $100/month. 1,000,000 credits. Extra $3.50 / 10k. 20 concurrency. Pay-as-you-go overflow. 5 projects. 100 schedules. Retention 2 weeks.
• Startup — $250/month. 2,500,000 credits. Extra $2.00 / 10k. 50 concurrency. 15 projects. 200 schedules. Retention 3 weeks.
• Enterprise — $500/month. 5,500,000 credits. Extra $1.20 / 10k. 100 concurrency. 50 projects. 500 schedules. Retention 4 weeks.
• Custom — $1,200 to $30,000+/month. Negotiated credits / concurrency. Confirm the live quote.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location. One API key spends the same credit balance across Web Scraping, Cloud Browser, Screenshot, Extraction, and Crawler.

Limitations / costs

• Free and Discovery hard-cap at quota. Overflow without a stall is Pro+.
• Monitoring API export is Enterprise / Custom. The dashboard list on the cover is on every plan; the metrics HTTP API returns 402 below Enterprise.
• A Monitoring desk, not Apify’s Actor Store. For that Store see Apify.

Alternatives

• Apify — an Actor Store when you want Apify’s prepaid $5 / $19, not Scrapfly’s Monitoring list.
• Firecrawl — URL → markdown when you want Firecrawl’s 1,000 Free credits, not Unblocker + Cloud Browser.
• ScrapingBee — a Request Builder when you want ScrapingBee’s Hobby $19, not Scrapfly’s $30 Discovery.
