Scraping API Platforms
Commercial HTML-in/HTML-out APIs. Pricing is claimed from public pricing pages (Oct 2026) — we have not benchmarked them yet. Apify is the exception: we measure its ecosystem directly.
Data snapshot: November 2, 2026 · Directory updated November 2, 2026 · Sorted by 30-day runs (public-stats rows first); claimed rows follow. Pricing tags show the billing model (per-GB, per-solve, credits, subscription…) — different units are not directly comparable.
