The best alternative to ScrapeHero
ScrapeHero is a managed web scraping service that provides data extraction and ready-made APIs through ScrapeHero Cloud. Apify is a full-stack platform that lets you tailor web scraping processes to your specific needs, making it a more flexible and adaptable choice.
Get more for less
ScrapeHero Cloud's Starter Plan is $50/month for basic services without API integrations and $100/month for the Standard Plan. For $49/month, Apify provides full access to all features and unlimited use of its Actor library within credit limits. A free forever plan that includes $5 worth of credits monthly lets you explore all features without upfront costs.
Access a much bigger marketplace
While ScrapeHero Cloud offers 20+ pre-built scrapers, Apify Store features over 2,000. This community-driven marketplace allows you to use or rent any Actor to scrape a variety of websites for a wide range of use cases. Almost any website you need is likely covered. That means you don't need to build every single scraper.
Integrate tasks with your favorite apps
Automate scheduling, export data to CSV, HTML, JSON, XML, or RSS feed, and integrate your workflows with services like Gmail, Airtable, Make, Zapier, Google Drive, GitHub, Keboola, and more. Connect your Apify tasks with cloud services and web apps to enhance your automation capabilities.
