# ScrapingBee review

A well-documented collection service for **growth and RevOps teams** that need recurring public-web data from lightly defended sites.

## The take

- **Great for:** Growth and **RevOps teams** that need competitor, search, marketplace, or content data with minimal setup.
- **The catch:** **Credits are not requests.** Rendering and stealth features consume multipliers, and unused credits do not roll over.
- **Bottom line:** Reach for it when **your ops person or agency wires this up** for open or lightly defended targets. Choose a stronger anti-bot service for defended sites.

## Specs

- **Starting price:** $19.99/mo (Hobby, 75K credits)
- **Free tier:** Trial only, 1,000 credits, no credit card
- **Pricing model:** Credits, per-request multipliers by feature
- **Best for:** Growth and RevOps teams collecting recurring data from open or lightly defended sites, with an ops person or agency to wire the workflow.
- **Key integrations:** REST API, Python/Node SDKs, MCP server, n8n, Make
- **Watch out for:** Credit multipliers (5-75x) and no month-to-month rollover

## What you're actually getting

ScrapingBee turns a URL into **page data, screenshots, or selected fields** while handling proxies, headless browsing, and CAPTCHAs. Your ops person or agency wires this up, then the team can use the output in monitoring and reporting.
Dedicated services for **Google, Amazon, Walmart, YouTube, and ChatGPT** return structured data for common GTM research jobs.

## Where it earns its keep

The win is **fast setup for recurring research**. Growth teams can check competitor pages, search results, and marketplace listings without building parsers.
An August 2026 benchmark measured 2.9 seconds average response at $1.53 per 1,000 requests. G2 is 4.8 across 28 reviews and Capterra is 4.9 across 137.

## Where it'll bite you

**Credits are the trap.** JavaScript rendering costs 5 credits, premium proxies 25, and stealth mode 75. A $49.99 plan with 250K credits can cover as few as 3,333 stealth requests.
Credits do not roll over. The same August 2026 benchmark scored 0% on LinkedIn, Zillow, Twitter, Walmart, StockX, and realtor.com, so test the actual target list.

## What it costs, really

Hobby starts at **$19.99/mo for 75K credits**. Freelance is $49.99 for 250K, Startup $99.99 for 1M, Business $249.99 for 3M, and Business+ $599.99 for 8M.
The real cost is **the proxy tier your targets require**. Price one real job in the calculator first.

## Reach for it / skip it

- **Reach for it if:** Growth and RevOps teams collecting recurring data from open or lightly defended sites, with an ops person or agency to wire the workflow.
- **Skip it if:** Skip it if your targets are hard-defended sites such as LinkedIn, Zillow, or Twitter.

## What real users said

- "I like that ScrapingBee is my main, daily driver for scraping tasks, particularly for a fleet of 300 scrapers. It's reliable and manages to get all the fields I need, especially when I'm working with Amazon. It often gets pricing data more accurately than some of its competitors." -- Jon T., G2
- "UI and interface is easy to use and operate. Very simple to intergate, perfoermance was great, no issues there. Pricing is fair, but good for the support, compatibility and AI native features it offers." -- Brodie D., G2
- "Dashboard is a bit clunky. Pricing/credits can be a bit overwhelming, unless you read the docs and manage it well. Docs are a bit hard to read." -- Jeffrey P., G2
- "Credits are consumed quickly when using JavaScript rendering or advanced features, making it harder to justify for smaller projects or teams with unpredictable scraping volumes." -- Nick S., Capterra
