ScrapingBee is a better alternative to Bright Data. Getting structured data from the web should be fast, reliable, and scalable. Bright Data is powerful—but complex, expensive, and overkill for most. ScrapingBee delivers what you need without the overhead. We only bill you for successful data extraction, not for bandwidth, retries, or errors. Custom headers, residential proxies, headless browsers—all included at every pricing level. No integrations. No additional services required. Bright Data requires managing multiple tools, billing models, and configurations. Our API replaces all that with a clean interface and simple billing. Use one endpoint to handle dynamic content, solve CAPTCHAs, rotate proxies, and render JavaScript. Simpler setup, faster results. You can still use us in proxy mode if your workflow needs it—we’re flexible like that. No need to manage proxy pools, zones, or pricing tiers. Our system handles it automatically for you. We manage the infrastructure so you can focus on extracting data—not maintaining virtual machines or scripts. We operate in stealth mode with minimal fingerprinting—so you’re less likely to be blocked or challenged. Use either our fully-managed scraping endpoint or switch to proxy-mode when you need hands-on control. Enterprise scraping tools often mean enterprise friction. We’ve simplified everything, from docs to billing. Navigate directly to what you need—no jargon, no PDFs, no SDK installs. Work in Python, Go, JavaScript, or whatever your stack demands—we’ve got examples ready. Explore solutions to specific scraping tasks, like pagination, dynamic rendering, or login flows. You’re not waiting in a queue. Our engineers respond fast—and with actual solutions. Cancel anytime, no questions asked! Need more credits and concurrency per month? Not sure what plan you need?
