What our research says

Browse AI

The quickest way to get a non-engineer extracting data from a site, but what you are actually buying is a credit meter — monitoring jobs that run often get expensive long before the feature list runs out.

Pros

  • Recorder-based setup needs no CSS selectors or scripting
  • REST API plus webhooks make it usable inside a pipeline, not just as a CSV export
  • Around 250 prebuilt robots cover common sites like Amazon, eBay and LinkedIn

Cons

  • Month-to-month billing is roughly 2.5x the annual rate ($48 versus $19)
  • Credits do not carry over between billing cycles
  • Premium starts at $500/month, so there is a wide gap above the $69 Professional tier
  • Robots still break when a target site restructures its markup

ScrapeGraphAI

A sensible choice when you need clean structured data from many differently built sites and would rather describe the fields than maintain parsers. The open-source library is a good way to try the idea locally before paying for the hosted API. If you scrape one stable site at high volume, a conventional parser or proxy-based scraper will be cheaper per page.

Pros

  • MIT-licensed library with a large GitHub following
  • Single API covers scrape, extract, search, crawl and monitor
  • Python and JavaScript SDKs plus LangChain and LlamaIndex integrations
  • Free tier and published top-up pricing make cost easy to predict

Cons

  • Credit-based billing means heavy crawls burn through plans quickly
  • LLM extraction is slower and less deterministic than fixed selectors
  • Free credits are one-time, not monthly
