  • Watch out: pay-as-you-go credits are only used after the monthly quota runs out
  • Watch out: geotargeting covers proxies in 13 countries, or you bring your own

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace WebScraping.AI 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.

It costs $348 a year.

What you could not

  • Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
  • It plugs into other products, Zapier, n8n and Make among them, and has an API.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
  • The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

What this rests on. WebScraping.AI’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.
