Top ScrapingBee Alternatives

ScrapingBee is an excellent scraping provider that combines quality services, in-house proxies, and apiarian branding. However, if the buzzing is getting too much for you or the service just lacks that special something (a dedicated endpoint for your target, perhaps), you may be in the market for an alternative. And that’s what this is for: here are some of the top alternatives for ScrapingBee operating in 2026.

As a bonus, we’ve included some of their performance stats from our web scraping API report, namely, the success rate and response time at sending 2 requests per second.

1. Decodo (ex Smartproxy)

Great value web scraping service.

Use the code DECODO5 to get 5% off all self-service products.

Geolocation: 150+ countries with ZIP for Amazon, city & coordinates for Google
Pricing model: subscription
Pricing structure: credits
Integration: Real-time or async API, MCP, n8n, LangChain
Output: HTML, JSON, CSV, PNG, XHR, Markdown
Support: award-winning 24/7 support via chat or email
Free trial: 14-day money-back option or 7-day trial with 1K requests
Pricing:
– Web Scraping API: $0.50 for 2K requests (Standard plan)

Decodo is a strong ScrapingBee alternative. Its Web Scraping API comes with templates for popular targets like Amazon and Google, and is powered by the provider’s own proxy network.

This built-in capability enables city and coordinate-level targeting for Google and ZIP code targeting for Amazon. Meanwhile, for any target that doesn’t have a template, there’s the AI Parser, which can generate a scraper based on your needs.

Decodo’s performance shows a good balance between the success rate and response time. The service is also more affordable than competitors like Oxylabs and Bright Data, but it is still a tad expensive when it comes to smaller tasks.

Also, how many requests you get per subscription depends on the proxies you need for scraping: that $0.50 price tag only applies to targets that don’t need premium proxies or JavaScript rendering.

2. Oxylabs

Premium web scraping service.

Use the code Discount30 to get 30% off.

Integration: Real-time or async API, proxy, SDK, MCP, n8n
Outputs: HTML, JSON, Markdown, screenshot, CSV, TOON
Geolocation: 195+ countries with ZIP for Amazon, city & coordinates for Google
Pricing model: subscription
Pricing structure: credits
Support: 24/7 via live chat, dedicated account manager
Free trial: Up to 2K results from $0.50/1K result
Pricing:
– Web Scraper API: $49/month ($0.50/1K results)

Oxylabs is a good choice for a ScrapingBee alternative. Its proxy infrastructure powers the provider’s Web Scraping API that supports 40 templates covering majortargets. And if that isn’t enough, the OxyCopilot AI can build parsing templates for whatever you need, all by using natural language commands.

As for geolocation, Oxylabs’ proxy network covers the entire world, allowing for country-level targeting whenever you need, or you can narrow it down to a ZIP code for Amazon, and cities or coordinates for Google. And whatever you do, you can expect the service to show a top-of-the-line success rate and a fast response time.

It does, however, come at a price: the base service cost starts at $49/mo (for up to 98K results) and goes from there. At least you’re only charged for successes and can expect quality customer support.

3. Zyte API

The fastest web scraping service.

Integration: Real-time API, proxy
Outputs: HTML, PNG, JSON
Geolocation: 150+ with country-level targeting
Pricing model: PAYG, subscription
Pricing structure: requests
Support: tickets, support center threads
Free trial: $5 credit for 30-days
Pricing: $0.13 for 1K HTTPS responses, $1.01 for 1K browser-rendered responses

Zyte is somewhat of an odd duck when it comes to scrapers, as it only offers a general-purpose web scraper. However, the web scraper works with predefined schemas to get specific content out of a website, like job postings and article lists. Enterprise clients can also use the TypeScript API to provide their own browser automation scripts that can specify actions performed on the page.

The Zyte API automatically matches proxies based on the URL provided and thus can simulate traffic from 150 locations around the globe. It’s also very performant, with success rates that can match Oxylabs and response times that can be unbeatable.

It is also very dynamic in its pricing. PAYG can be as low as $0.13 per 1K requests if you don’t need JavaScript. Subscriptions start at $100. Of course, the price will increase if you choose additional features – you can check it beforehand with Zyte’s handy price estimator.

4. Apify

Web scraping service with thousands of no-code tools.

Use the code DECODO5 to get 5% off all self-service products.

Integration: API, MCP, LangChain, 29 others before accounting for integration-oriented Actors.
Outputs: depends on the Actor
Geolocation: up to 195, depending on the Actor and config
Pricing model: subscription, PAYG
Pricing structure: depends on the Actor
Support: email, chat
Free trial: a free plan with $5 platform credits is available
Pricing: $29 for $29 platform credits and 30 shared datacenter proxies.

Apify is a whole platform of ScrapingBee alternatives. Because that’s what it is: a platform for third-party developers to upload their own tools (called Actors) that run on Apify’s infrastructure. And some of those Actors are dedicated scrapers, which means you may actually have a choice of which one to use if you’re scraping a popular website.

As there are so many different Actors, they can have very different approaches to anything from outputs to pricing. What remains unchanged between them is Apify’s user-friendly interface, perfect for those without any coding skills. However, advanced users are not left out, as you can go from customizing scripts all the way to uploading your own Actors.

5. Bright Data

The most versatile web scraping service.

Use the code PROXYWAY60 to get 60% off all proxy plans and Browser API. New users only.

Integration: API (real-time or async), proxy, browser, MCP
Outputs: HTML, JSON, NDJSON, JSON lines, CSV
Geolocation: 150+ countries with city & ASN targeting, coordinates for Google
Pricing model: PAYG, subscription
Pricing structure: based on successful requests
Support: 24/7 via live chat, tickets, dedicated account manager
Free trial: 1K records for 1 week
Pricing:
– Web Scraper API: $1.5/1K records

Bright Data offers Web Scraper API with dedicated endpoints for different websites, and as fitting for the bigger player in the web scraping field, there are a lot of those endpoints. For Facebook, you can scrape page posts by profile or group URL, scrape comments… in total, the Facebook part of the Scraper API library packs 15 tools.

At the same time, the API is easy to use, including a no-code option you can run straight from your Bright Data user panel. More advanced users can have access to such tools as scheduling and data retrieval options.

Bright Data’s scrapers can rely on its proxy network for geolocation and robust infrastructure. But with so much to offer, Bright Data can get pretty expensive.
