Scrapfly provides a unified web scraping API that combines HTTP extraction, headless browser rendering, screenshot capture, structured data extraction, and AI agent browsing behind a single endpoint. The platform targets developers and data teams who need reliable access to web content without building anti-bot infrastructure.
The company is headquartered in Paris, France, and operates proprietary infrastructure including Scrapium, a stealth Chromium fork, and Curlium, a custom curl fork. The platform reports a 98 percent success rate on protected sites and serves over 15 billion requests per month.
Scrapfly offers a unified API platform for web data extraction. A single API key provides access to web scraping, cloud browser rendering, screenshot capture, structured data extraction, crawling, and an AI browser agent. The platform also includes an MCP server for integration with Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT.
Built-in anti-scraping protection (asp=true) automatically handles 20+ bot-protection vendors without requiring per-target configuration. The service supports Python, TypeScript, and Scrapy SDKs, and offers a visual API playground for testing requests.
Scrapfly has positioned itself as a comprehensive cloud browser API in self-published 2026 market comparisons. The company launched an MCP server to integrate directly with Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT, and released an AI Browser Agent targeting frameworks such as Browser Use, Stagehand, and Vibium.
The web scraping and browser automation category is projected to grow at a 39.4% compound annual growth rate through 2029 according to TechNavio. Scrapfly bootstrap narrative and full-stack ownership differentiate it from VC-backed peers in a market where most competitors rely on third-party proxy or browser infrastructure.
Scrapfly maintains full control of its infrastructure stack through proprietary technologies. Scrapium is a stealth Chromium fork tuned for fingerprint coherence, while Curlium is a custom curl fork that ensures byte-perfect TLS handshakes. This vertical integration allows the company to offer consistent pass rates across protected sites.
The platform uses a credits-based pricing model where failed requests are not billed. Scrapfly reports a 98% success rate on protected targets and supports browser automation via Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium. It serves over 15 billion requests per month and holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications.
Scrapfly operates with a much smaller team and revenue base than leading competitors. Latka data indicates approximately five full-time employees and roughly $244,000 in annual revenue, compared to Bright Data and Oxylabs which operate at significantly larger scale. The company does not offer mobile proxy services.
Self-service pricing caps at $500 per month, with enterprise plans requiring direct sales contact. Brand recognition remains lower than YC-backed alternatives such as Firecrawl and Browserbase, which may affect enterprise purchasing decisions.
Scrapfly uses a credit-based consumption model with tiered monthly plans. Simple HTTP requests cost one credit, JavaScript rendering and anti-bot protection add five credits, residential proxies add twenty-five credits, and screenshot capture costs sixty credits. A free tier provides 1,000 credits.
Paid plans start at $30 per month for the Discovery tier, $100 for Pro, $250 for Startup, and $500 for Enterprise. Custom enterprise agreements are available from approximately $1,200 per month. Failed requests are not billed under normal usage conditions.
