Scraping Robot review (2026): is it worth it?
Pay-per-scrape web scraping API with no monthly subscription
Scraping Robot report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 24, 2026
Best for occasional scraping jobs with no monthly plan
Scraping Robot handles proxies, browsers and rendering and returns pages, or parsed data such as Google results, as JSON, sold per scrape from credits that never expire. Its own pages give per-scrape prices that don't agree, and webhooks, screenshots, POST requests and sessions are still listed as coming soon.
Who Scraping Robot is for
- Fits if you scrape now and then and don't want a monthly subscription
- Works for projects that need a scraping module built to order
Who Scraping Robot is not for
- Watch out: the homepage and the pricing page give per-scrape prices that don't match, from $0.0018 down to $0.00004
- Skip it if you need webhooks, screenshots, POST requests or sessions, which are still coming soon
- Skip it if you want results sent to Zapier or Google Sheets, as that's not available yet
- Tight if you send a lot at once, with a soft limit of 100 requests a minute
Why Scraping Robot gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo plan prices are on record. The homepage says $0.0018 a scrape, $1.80 per 1,000, up to 500,000 scrapes and as low as $0.00045 beyond, while the pricing page says as low as $0.00004, and the two couldn't be reconciled. Credits never expire.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan: 5,000 free scrapes on sign-up, a one-off allowance. Failed results and timeouts aren't charged.
- CFeaturesOne HTML API with JavaScript rendering, handled proxies, parsed JSON output and custom modules built to order. The gaps are in the listing: webhooks, screenshots, POST requests and sessions are coming soon, and no search engine is named beyond a Google example.
- CEase of useJudged on how fast a developer gets a first result: one endpoint, a module name and endpoints to check credit use. No rating on record, and a soft limit of 100 requests a minute applies unless support raises it.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with a REST API. Output to Zapier or Google Sheets is listed as coming soon, and no integrations or SDKs are named. No desktop or phone app.

Keep Scraping Robot, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Scraping Robot 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: 32 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs grade higher.
What you could not
- Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Scraping Robot’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.
