What I like most about Scrapfly is how it handles the hardest parts of web scraping out of the box. The anti-bot bypass (ASP) just works — sites that used to block me with Cloudflare or DataDome now go through without me having to mess with custom headers, TLS fingerprints, or proxy rotation.

The Python SDK is clean and well-documented, so I was making real requests within minutes of signing up. JavaScript rendering is built in, which means I don't need to spin up a separate headless browser setup for dynamic sites.

The dashboard is also a big plus — being able to inspect every request, see why something failed, and replay it has saved me a lot of debugging time. Pricing is fair for what you get, especially compared to running my own proxy infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, not much. My main complaint would be that the concurrent request limit on the Discovery plan can be a bit restrictive when you're running larger scraping jobs — I sometimes hit the cap and have to throttle my workers or upgrade temporarily. It would be nice to have a more flexible mid-tier option between plans.

Other than that, the learning curve for some of the advanced features (like ASP configuration and session management) could be smoother — the docs are good, but a few more real-world examples would help newcomers get up to speed faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Scrapfly gives us a lot of control without adding complexity. The parameters like render_js, asp, and rendering_wait allow us to fine-tune each scraper individually based on the specific site's needs without needing custom browser automation code. I also found the initial setup straightforward and quick; getting started was as simple as signing up, grabbing the API key, and installing the Python SDK. Our first working scraper was up and running within a couple of hours, with no complex configuration or infrastructure to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A couple of things come to mind: Credit cost on heavy rendering when using render_js=true combined with asp=true, the credit cost per request jumps significantly - around 20-30 credits per call versus 5-6 for non-rendered requests. For a pipeline processing 25k+ SKU's across multiple scrapers, that adds up fast. It's understandable given the infrastructure behind it, but more granular pricing tier between 'no rendering' and 'full rendering +ASP' would help optimize costs for large-scale runs. No built-in retry visible when a request fails transiently - 502s, proxy errors, tunnel issues - we handle retries ourselves in our code. It would be useful if Scrapfly had a built-in retry option with configurable attempts so we don't have to manage that logic on our end. Rate limit feedback when we hit 429s under heavy concurrent load, the error comes back but there's no indication of how long to back off. A retry-after header or similar signal in the response would make throttle handling much cleaner on our side. These are relatively minor compared to the value we get overall - they're more quality-of-life improvements than deal-breakers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Scrapfly is easy to use with a pretty simple dashboard. The technology is really competitive, and the initial setup was really easy, taking me only about twenty seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Scrapfly's UI and UX could communicate better. I had to use AI to figure out how to avoid certain bots like Casada, which wasn't clear. If they communicated this better from the start, I wouldn't need to do extra research. It'd be helpful if they listed all the bots they're working around and how to avoid them blocking me. Also, I find Scrapfly to be a bit expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how quick and easy the setup process is with Scrapfly. It's really straightforward, which is something I appreciated about this service. I'm also impressed with how much data I can scrape. Scrapfly is able to bypass bot detection systems, making it possible to scrape data without being blocked. Additionally, it was surprisingly good at bypassing systems that prevent data scraping, such as those that put everything behind Cloudflare or render client side, which was crucial for scraping data from marketplaces like Vestiaire.

The POST body handling could be much cleaner in the docs. I spent quite a lot of time getting 405s on Vestiaire endpoint before realizing that you have to actually POST to the Scrapfly API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

> What I like most about Scrapfly is its reliability and ease of use. The platform allows for efficient data scraping while automatically handling anti-bot protections, which saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I am very satisfied with Scrapfly. If I had to mention an area for improvement, it would be the cost, which can become high when the volume of requests increases significantly. Some advanced features could also be better explained for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scrapfly is most helpful because it makes web data collection much more reliable and easier to manage. I like that it handles many of the technical challenges such as proxies, anti-bot protection, rendering JavaScript pages, and keeping scraping requests stable. It saves time, reduces maintenance work, and lets me focus more on analyzing the data instead of constantly fixing scraping issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is that some advanced features may require time to understand and configure correctly at the beginning. Pricing can also become an important factor when usage grows. In some cases, I would appreciate clearer examples or ready-made templates for common scraping scenarios, so implementation could be even faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Scrapfly works very well with my Claude Code from Anthropic. It was suggested to me as a very good solution for getting around a lot of websites that were previously blocked. I also found the initial setup to be very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if I could use Ultra on the initial free mode because it would allow me to test whether it would work for my purposes before purchasing it. But, otherwise, very happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of Scrapfly for making successful queries, even on sites protected against anti-bot technologies. I also appreciate being able to use different regions or other settings that help access the desired data. Additionally, the initial setup process was relatively simple, as I used an existing project as a base and, when problems arose, I turned to AI to improve the configuration and increase the success rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, the advantages themselves sometimes do not have enough reach, for example, you must know from which regions the target page is accessible to have greater success when trying to obtain data from that page, since despite having a very good success rate, it can be reduced without this configuration, although it is something more related to the target page than to the tool itself.

I like that Scrapfly allows me to safely download videos from websites that are otherwise difficult to download from automatically. It's also simple to track credit usage and estimate the cost for my complete project. The ease of doing a quick trial smoke test and estimating if I could afford the full project was really helpful. Additionally, the initial setup was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free demo was too cheap. It didn't include enough cost credits to run my smoke test as I wanted to. I think the larger demo would be helpful for users trying out the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great success rate when scraping pages and also super easy to get started and configure settings in the app. Also found it to be the best price for what we needed and I appreciate their pricing tiers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've hit some cloudflare errors before that when they changed their no robots detection but scrapfly was quick to update that and support my endpoints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
