Compare Gaffa vs. ScrapeGuys

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.

ScrapeGuys offers a comprehensive web-scraping API that simplifies the process of obtaining structured data by allowing teams to bypass the complexities of developing and managing their own scrapers. Users can access a versioned JSON API to receive clean, standardized data while the service takes care of anti-bot measures, provides residential proxy support across 11 regions, and efficiently handles retries along with asynchronous job queues. Typically, jobs are completed in 3-5 seconds, and users can make batch requests of up to 20 at a time, enjoying deterministic hotel searches through Google Place IDs and detailed usage analytics paired with quota management. Additionally, a Managed Cloud Platform (MCP) integration can be requested, enabling AI agents to directly query the data layer for enhanced functionality. The current dataset predominantly focuses on travel-related services such as Google Flights, Google Hotels, Booking.com, Agoda, MakeMyTrip, and Expedia, although the platform is versatile enough to accommodate a variety of targets; e-commerce intelligence regarding prices and SKUs can also be developed upon request. Users can try the service free for a week with a limit of 100 requests per day and no need for a credit card, while growth plans begin at $199 per month for up to 1,000 requests daily, and custom pricing is available for enterprise solutions with no limits on volume. With its user-friendly interface and diverse range of features, ScrapeGuys is positioned as a valuable resource for businesses looking to harness data effectively.
