Best for cloud browsers and scraping APIs for agents
Scrapeless sells cloud browsers, a Google Search API, AI scrapers and a web unlocker, billed from a prepaid balance. Subscriptions at $49, $199 and $399 only set your discount and concurrency, so the monthly bill depends on what you use. You need to write code to use it, and raising limits can involve a KYC check.
Who Scrapeless is for
- Fits if you run scrapers or AI agents that need hosted browsers and proxies
- Works for teams that prefer paying by use, since the base plan has no monthly fee
Who Scrapeless is not for
- Skip it if you cannot code: browsers and scrapers are driven from scripts and APIs
- Watch out: the bill depends on which services you use, and the subscriptions only set the discount
- Watch out: unused monthly commitment is not kept, and automatic renewal charges the next cycle
- Watch out: raising concurrency or buying an enterprise package involves a KYC check
- Tight if you are testing: the free trial amount is not stated

Keep Scrapeless, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Scrapeless you would be making search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 30 of the 56 other SERP and SEO data APIs grade higher. It costs $588 a year.
What you could not
- Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- It plugs into other products, Puppeteer, Playwright and Browser-Use among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Scrapeless’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Scrapeless?
Scrapeless sells web data infrastructure: a cloud browser for agents, a Google Search API, scrapers for AI engines such as ChatGPT and Perplexity, a Web Unlocker, a crawler and proxies. Plans are a monthly commitment that discounts usage billed from a prepaid balance.
Worth knowing
- Billing is by usage from a prepaid balance, so the monthly cost depends on which services are used; the subscriptions only set the discount and concurrency.
- Per the FAQ, if usage is below the monthly commitment the remaining funds are not kept, and automatic renewal charges the next cycle.
- The pricing page shows a yearly option that saves 10%; only the monthly figures were read.
- Raising concurrency limits or buying an enterprise package involves a KYC check by the sales team.
Key features
- Google Search API
- Returns Google results as structured JSON with country and language targeting; proxy and CAPTCHA handling are included.
- AI scrapers
- Separate scrapers for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overview, returning responses and citations for AI-visibility tracking.
- Agent Browser
- A cloud browser compatible with Puppeteer and Playwright, with live view, session replay and persistent profiles.
- Web Unlocker and Crawl
- Web Unlocker returns rendered content for a URL and the vendor says you pay only for successful requests. Crawl collects whole sites in JSON, Markdown, HTML or screenshots.
- Proxies
- Residential, static ISP, datacenter and IPv6 proxies are sold on their own as well as underneath the other products.
