G2: 4.9ScrapingBee is a web scraping API based in France and operating since 2019. The platform manages headless browsers and rotates proxies automatically, offering structured data extraction, AI-powered web scraping and dedicated APIs for search engines and e-commerce platforms.
Network and pool size
ScrapingBee routes traffic across rotating residential and datacenter proxies across 200 countries via its managed API layer. The headline capability is full browser rendering and AI-powered extraction rather than a specific branded pool size. The country count of 200 is among the broadest in the public comparison set.
Pricing and plans
Pricing is per-API-call rather than per-gigabyte, with bands starting around $49 monthly and reaching $599 monthly on higher tiers. Plans cover concurrent requests, rendering and dedicated SERP and e-commerce APIs. The entry tier is higher than some competitors, reflecting the managed unblocking value proposition.
Where ScrapingBee fits
ScrapingBee is positioned for developers and businesses requiring scalable web scraping without managing proxy rotation or headless browsers. It is well suited to buyers who want a single API covering both SERP scraping and e-commerce extraction, with dedicated endpoints for both.
Reputation and support
Independent review scores are excellent: 4.9 on G2 and 4.9 on Capterra. User feedback commonly highlights exceptional customer support, ease of integration and powerful data extraction capabilities. The platform publishes solid developer documentation and an active community.
What to watch for
API-call pricing rewards efficient request design; heavy rendering workloads can climb quickly. Confirm the rendering combination on your specific destinations with a paid test before scaling up to large monthly commitments, especially on the SERP and e-commerce dedicated endpoints.
