Compare Archonum vs. Gaffa

Archonum is a browser automation infrastructure platform that lets users run scripts through real consumer smartphones instead of cloud browsers with proxy layers. The platform supports Playwright, Puppeteer, REST, curl, and MCP workflows, making it useful for scraping, AI agents, price intelligence, mobile-first data access, and geo comparison. Archonum runs Chrome for Android directly on a real phone, so the browser, IP, sensors, hardware, language, timezone, and network signals all come from the same device. This architecture is designed to avoid the mismatch that bot detection systems often find when a cloud browser uses a residential proxy. Users can route automation through 250,000+ smartphone nodes in 175+ countries and execute scripts with real device identities, exit IPs, and local context. The platform includes fleet execution so one script can run across many sessions in parallel, each with its own country and device fingerprint. Archonum also provides an MCP server with tools for rendered page reads, stateful sessions, login flows, cart or booking workflows, and country comparisons. Developers can point existing Playwright or Puppeteer scripts at Archonum through the gateway without learning a new SDK or rewriting their automation. By combining real mobile execution, residential device IPs, browser automation, MCP support, geo targeting, sticky sessions, and fleet-scale execution, Archonum helps teams reduce block rates and access web data more reliably.

Gaffa is a REST API built for web scraping and browser automation, allowing developers to run real, full browsers at scale with a single API call. It removes the difficulty of managing headless browser frameworks, rotating proxies, CAPTCHA solving, and scaling infrastructure, all of which are handled automatically. JavaScript-heavy and dynamic websites render exactly as they would for a human visitor by default. Beyond standard scraping, Gaffa supports AI-driven structured data extraction (extract data into a defined schema without writing CSS selectors), screenshot and PDF capture, infinite-scroll and form-filling automation, and clean Markdown conversion for feeding webpages directly into LLM and RAG pipelines. A rotating residential proxy network keeps access reliable across regions, and a credit-based pricing model means teams pay only for the browser time and bandwidth they actually use. Gaffa is designed for AI engineers, data teams, and developers who want production-grade web data extraction without having to build and maintain their own infrastructure.
