Full Stack Ownership
- Active anti-bot monitoring 24/7
- Bypass restoration in days, not weeks
- No third-party proxy dependencies
- Real browser TLS fingerprint matching
Protected Sites We Handle
- Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX
- Akamai Bot Manager
- Custom enterprise solutions
- CAPTCHA challenges

How Scrapfly's ASP Works
Scrapfly's Anti-Scraping Protection (ASP) achieves 98% success using stealth browser technology that mimics genuine browser behavior. Enable asp=True and the system handles everything automatically.
Real Browser Fingerprints
Matches authentic Chrome and Firefox signatures including TLS/JA3 fingerprints, HTTP/2 fingerprints, WebGL properties, and canvas rendering.
Adaptive Challenge Solving
Automatically solves Cloudflare, DataDome, and PerimeterX challenges. Recognizes challenge types and submits valid solutions.
Session Intelligence
Reuses unblocked stealth browser sessions when possible, reducing costs while maintaining high success rates.
ASP runs in dedicated cloud browser instances with full JavaScript execution and persistent sessions. Test your fingerprint with our free fingerprinting tools.
Transparent Pricing for Protected Sites
Scrapfly's ASP costs 30+ credits per request, varying by target complexity. You pay for what's actually needed, not a flat premium rate. View full pricing details.
| Configuration | Scrapfly | ScrapeOps |
|---|---|---|
| Datacenter, no JS | 1 credit | 1 credit |
| Datacenter + JS rendering | 6 credits | 5 credits |
| Residential + JS rendering | 30 credits | 25 credits |
| ASP on protected sites | 30+ credits (varies by target) | 25 credits (JS + premium) |
Why Developers Choose Scrapfly Over ScrapeOps
Teams move from proxy aggregation to full-stack scraping for the reliability, then stay for the production features.
Full Technology Ownership vs Aggregation
ScrapeOps aggregates third-party proxy providers and routes requests through them. Scrapfly owns the entire stack: proxies, browsers, fingerprinting, and challenge solving.
When anti-bot systems update, we restore bypasses in days because we control every layer. No waiting on third-party providers.
Bypass restoration in days, not weeksBandwidth Optimization with Proxy Saver
Residential proxies charge $6-15 per GB. At 1 million requests averaging 500KB, you're transferring ~500GB monthly.
Proxy Saver blocks junk traffic, stubs images/CSS, and caches responses, cutting bandwidth by 50%.
$1,500 saved per million requestsAI-Powered Extraction API
Stop maintaining fragile XPath and CSS selectors. Scrapfly's Extraction API transforms raw HTML into structured data:
- Auto-extraction: Automatically detect and extract data
- LLM extraction: Natural language prompts for complex data
- Template extraction: Reusable extraction rules
What Developers Say
Capterra Rating: 4.9/5 (183 reviews)
"ScrapeOps is good for proxy aggregating proxies. However, there's no ownership, so the maintenance becomes a burden."
"We outgrew proxy aggregation. Scrapfly's full-stack ownership means faster bypass restoration and better success rates."
"Scrapfly APIs work seamlessly for our data extraction needs. We can scrape data, take screenshots, and use AI extraction all in one-service"

Does Scrapfly really achieve 98% success on protected sites?
Yes. Scrapeway benchmarks all major web scraping APIs on identical protected targets, consistently showing Scrapfly achieving 98% success. This includes sites like LinkedIn, Walmart, Zillow, and Glassdoor where anti-bot protection is most aggressive.
Can I test Scrapfly on my specific targets before committing?
Yes. The free plan includes 1,000 API credits with no credit card required. Test your exact targets before upgrading.
How is Scrapfly different from ScrapeOps's proxy aggregation model?
ScrapeOps aggregates multiple third-party proxy providers and routes your requests through them. Scrapfly takes a fundamentally different approach: we own the entire technology stack — proxies, browsers, fingerprinting, and challenge solving. This means when anti-bot systems update, we can restore bypasses in days rather than weeks, because we control every layer of the stack. The result is 98% success on protected sites.
Does Scrapfly offer proxy monitoring like ScrapeOps?
Scrapfly provides comprehensive request monitoring and analytics through its dashboard. You get real-time request logs with full details, success rate tracking, and cost analysis. While ScrapeOps focuses on comparing proxy providers, Scrapfly eliminates the need for proxy management entirely — our ASP technology automatically selects the best proxy type and configuration for each target.
How does ScrapeOps pricing compare to Scrapfly?
ScrapeOps starts at $9/mo while Scrapfly starts at $30/mo. But the real difference is in what you get: Scrapfly includes Anti-Scraping Protection, Extraction API, Proxy Saver, and official SDKs — all included. With ScrapeOps, you're paying for proxy aggregation and still need to handle anti-bot protection yourself. Scrapfly also doesn't charge for failed requests.
How does Scrapfly handle heavily protected sites?
Our ASP (Anti-Scraping Protection) automatically adapts to Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, and custom anti-bot systems by matching real browser TLS handshakes, fingerprints, and HTTP headers. No manual configuration required.
Why is ScrapeOps not working on protected sites?
Proxy rotation alone isn't enough to bypass modern anti-bot systems like Cloudflare, DataDome, and PerimeterX. These systems fingerprint browsers at the TLS, HTTP/2, and JavaScript levels. ScrapeOps relies on third-party proxies for access, but Scrapfly's ASP technology matches real browser signatures at every layer, achieving 98% success on the most challenging targets.
What happens when a request fails?
Scrapfly provides detailed error diagnostics showing why requests fail (blocks, timeouts, site issues). Automatic retries handle transient failures, and you're not charged for unsuccessful requests.
Does Scrapfly support JavaScript rendering?
Yes. Scrapfly uses dedicated cloud browser instances with headless browser JavaScript rendering for dynamic content. Enable the render_js parameter to capture content from React, Vue.js, Angular apps and SPAs.
What proxies does Scrapfly include?
Scrapfly includes residential and datacenter proxies in all plans. Both rotate across 50+ countries. All proxies are included in API credits with no separate fees. New to proxies? See our introduction to proxies in web scraping.
Does Scrapfly have an Extraction API?
Yes. Scrapfly's Extraction API transforms raw HTML into structured JSON data automatically. Choose from auto-extraction for common data types, LLM-powered extraction using natural language prompts, or template-based extraction with reusable rules.
