Compare Gaffa vs. Gobii

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.

Gobii is a cloud-based service that allows users to deploy fully managed browser automation agents through an API, facilitating the automation of web research, form submissions, data extraction, and complex workflows on a large scale. These agents function like perpetual employees, capable of navigating websites—even those without APIs—managing dynamic content, executing JavaScript, and automatically rotating proxies when necessary. Users have the ability to create these agents, assign them specific prompts or tasks, and obtain structured JSON outputs or real-time previews of the agents' browser activities. Gobii also accommodates both synchronous and asynchronous task execution, offers secret management for sensitive information like login credentials, and ensures output validation through schema enforcement. Furthermore, it integrates with widely used programming languages such as Python and Node.js for easy implementation. The platform places a strong emphasis on scalability, allowing for the execution of hundreds of tasks simultaneously, while also providing enterprise-level security features like audit logs, proxy management, and comprehensive task oversight. As a result, developers benefit from a streamlined experience that makes it easier to integrate complex automation into their workflows.
