Before anything about Scrape: pool totals, uptime badges and country counts predict almost nothing about your result. What predicts it is a measured success rate on your own target, and that measurement costs a few dollars.
The record we hold
Scrape operates from scrape.do.
Scrape is not in our priced record, so nothing about their rate appears below. That gap is stated rather than filled, which is the only honest option available.
Look for the tier you would actually land in, not the one at the bottom of the table, and find the expiry and failed-request clauses before the rate impresses you.
How Scrape presents itself
The one-paragraph pitch on their own page: "Unmatched speed, unbeatable prices, unblocked access. Scrape.do is a web scraping powerhouse."
Also on the page, stated plainly:
The product lines named on that page are a scraping or SERP API. Payment methods mentioned: crypto and cards. The page offers some form of free trial. Support is advertised as around the clock. Their pricing page is titled "Web Scraping API Pricing, Scrape.do".
None of that is verified performance. It is what the vendor chose to publish, recorded with a date so you can see whether it still says the same thing.
The shape of their site
Our own crawl reached 450 of their pages, last run 19 June 2026. The mix was 207 blog pages, 1 pricing page and 3 integration pages.
That mix tells you how the company sells. Heavy location pages mean a geography-led pitch, heavy blog means a search-led one, and a single pricing page usually means one simple offer or one sales call.
The activity record
Our crawl of their site found 339 pages carrying a date, 205 of them articles. The oldest is from January 1970 and the newest from August 2026. 217 of them carry a date inside the last twelve months.
An actively maintained site is table stakes rather than a recommendation. It does rule out the failure that costs buyers the most here, which is prepaying a company that has quietly stopped.
The parts no marketing page answers
What happens when it breaks at two in the morning
Test the support channel before you need it. Ask something specific and technical, and judge both the speed and whether the answer came from somebody who understood the question.
Why a cheap address is often a used one
A shared address arrives with a history you did not create and cannot see. For read-only work it rarely matters. For anything that keeps a session, it is the most common cause of unexplained failure.
Who pays for the requests that fail
Some vendors bill every request, some bill only successful ones, and the difference is the whole comparison once a target starts blocking. A cheap rate with a fifty percent success rate is twice its advertised price.
Side by side, with the blanks left blank
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | Scrape | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Their terms page answers this | None |
| Identity checks | Check the current terms, this one moves | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | On their own terms page | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
Blanks in that table are deliberate. We print what we read and date it, and leave the rest empty rather than repeating something we cannot stand behind.
A test worth more than this comparison
Do this once and you will never need a comparison page for this decision again.
- Open an account on each and add the smallest amount they take. Skip the trial if a paid unit is cheap enough to buy outright.
- Point both at your real target, through your real tool, on the same day, with the same mix of requests.
- Log successes, failures and gigabytes used. Cost per successful request is the figure you are after.
- Verify a slice of the exits independently. Country labels in this market are self-reported and are not always right.
- Take the winner and set a reminder to run this again, since a result has a shelf life of about a quarter.
Others in this market
Nearest alternatives by product shape rather than by who pays us, since nobody does:
- ShadowProxies alternatives
- Shakergainske alternatives
- Shanchendaili (闪臣代理) alternatives
- Shellfire alternatives
- Shenlongip (神龙代理) alternatives
- Shifter alternatives
The competing offer, for completeness
We are the pay as you go option in this market. Residential from $0.44 per GB, ISP and datacenter per address, mobile alongside them, all from one balance with nothing to forfeit. That model wins on irregular volume and loses on very large steady volume, which is worth knowing before you test.
