Compare Crawlora vs. Gaffa

Crawlora is an innovative platform designed for structured web data acquisition. Instead of investing time in the development and upkeep of scrapers, users can simply interact with well-documented REST endpoints or utilize 319 hosted MCP tools to obtain normalized JSON data rather than having to parse through HTML. The platform encompasses 393 endpoints that cater to various categories including search engines (Google, Bing, Brave), mapping services, e-commerce platforms (Amazon, eBay, Shopify), app stores, social media channels (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit), reviews, and financial data. Crawlora effectively manages tasks such as proxy rotation, headless-browser rendering, and handling retries, allowing your team to focus on deploying data-driven features rather than managing scraping infrastructure. Additionally, the same endpoints are made accessible through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI agents in tools like Claude, Cursor, Cline, or n8n to seamlessly pull real-time web data using a single header. The pricing model is based on a pay-on-success structure, meaning users are only charged for successful (2xx) responses, which is complemented by a free tier offering 2,000 credits per month without requiring a credit card, along with a public Playground feature that allows users to test any endpoint and view the resulting JSON prior to implementing code. This user-friendly approach makes Crawlora an attractive option for businesses looking to streamline their data collection processes.

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.
