The best alternative to ScrapingBee
ScrapingBee provides a user-friendly API for large-scale web scraping, but there's no integrated solution for managing data extraction flows in the cloud. That's why you need Apify.
“If Apify disappeared, I’d have to build my own scrapers and handle server hosting myself. Apify’s handling of these aspects is invaluable.”
Tom Hall
Founder
“We looked at several providers both open source and paid solutions, and Apify was the most complete, reliable solution we found. It was miles ahead of everything else we reviewed.”
Pranav Singh
Engineering Manager
“Apify has helped our organization in building some of the best tools for our customers. Apify services allow for consistency - prior we ran everything on our own infrastructure and it was a nightmare. Thanks to Apify - all of our crawlers run smoothly and we don’t have to worry about the infrastructure or the proxies.”
Steven Pignataro
Co-CEO
“We selected Apify because of their vast experience with web data collection. The project has been delivered on a short schedule, and our sales teams are now empowered with fresh, unique leads that drive targeted campaigns and strategic outreach.”
Filip Popovic
SVP Transformation & Product & HR
“The developer's swiss army knife. What I absolutely love about Apify is the community and ecosystem around it. Apify Store is a treasure trove of pre-built Actors that save you a ton of time. It's like having a team of experts contributing to your project.”

SuperScraper API
Apify offers a versatile REST API that lets you extract fully rendered HTML from any URL using a headless browser. SuperScraper API. It offers compatibility with ScrapingBee, so it can be used as a potentially cheaper drop-in replacement for it.
Get more than an API for the same cost
For $49/month, ScrapingBee gives you access to an API. Apify gives you access to a full-stack scraping platform and hundreds of APIs (called Actors). These include single-purpose and multi-purpose APIs, which you can configure programmatically or with a simple UI.
Cloud infrastructure
Apify saves you time and effort by providing an all-in-one solution for your web scraping needs. You can run and host your crawlers, store your scraped data, and get notifications if something goes wrong.

ScrapingBee offers a Make integration. With Apify, you can schedule jobs to run automatically and integrate your workflows with Gmail, Airtable, Make, Zapier, Google Drive, GitHub, Keboola, and more.
Export data to multiple formats
ScrapingBee doesn’t provide an out-of-the-box solution for exporting your data in multiple formats. Apify lets you export data to CSV, HTML, JSON, XML, or RSS Feed with the click of a button.
Anti-blocking features
ScrapingBee offers proxies to help you avoid blocking. Apify Actors can take anti-blocking to another level with intelligent proxy rotation and automatically using advanced fingerprinting techniques to keep your scrapers performant and as cheap as possible.
