Free proxies won't hold up here.

Shared datacenter IPs get flagged and dropped fast. When it has to hold, gaming, streaming, accounts, you need mobile and residential IPs that read as a real device, from $0.44/GB, pay as you go.

Proxies for Web Scraping

Every scraping API page, ours included, is built from advertised prices and claimed pool sizes. Those two materials cannot tell you what you actually need to know, so this page spends most of its length on what they leave out.

What is on file for ScrapeBox

You will find them at scrapebox.com. In our own records they sit in the scraping API category.

We have no verified current rate for ScrapeBox on file. Printing a guess would make this page worse than useless, so the price row below is empty and the reading list is not.

Check the reachable rate, the minimum, the expiry terms and the failure billing, and date your note. A price without those four attached is not a price.

Their own description, read this week

Their homepage title, read on 9 September 2026: "ScrapeBox - The Swiss Army Knife of SEO!". Written for search engines, their description says: "ScrapeBox the Ultimate Link Harvester, Mass Wordpress and Movable Type Blog Comment Poster Complete with PR Storm Mode and Bulk Pagerank Checker."

Reading the same page for the things buyers actually ask about:

Payment methods mentioned: cards. Support is advertised as around the clock. We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.

All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.

How long ScrapeBox has been trading

The domain was registered on 7 October 2009, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 16 years old. The lookup behind those dates ran on 9 September 2026. As things stand the domain is held to 7 October 2030.

None of it predicts success rate. It is here because domain age and archive depth are free to check, and a provider whose public record starts last quarter deserves a smaller first order.

Whether anyone is still working on it

Our crawl of their site found 70 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from January 2016 and the newest from January 2016.

The most recent date on the site is more than twelve months old. Sites do go quiet without the service going with them, but a year of silence is worth one email to support before you fund an account.

What people actually search about ScrapeBox

Worldwide, the brand carries about 50 searches a month: 20 a month for an alternative to them, 20 a month for their pricing and 10 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.

Source: Google Keyword Planner, worldwide, read 9 September 2026. Terms counted: scrapebox alternative, scrapebox pricing, scrapebox review.

The largest share is people looking for a way out, which is the honest starting point for a page like this one.

The top bid on those terms reaches $7.35 a click. That is the market pricing its own customers, and it explains why almost every other result you found is an affiliate page.

What you still do not know after reading their site

Concurrency limits decide throughput

Rate limits are often enforced per account rather than per plan, which means buying more traffic does not raise them. Confirm how yours scales before you assume a bigger plan runs faster.

The rate behind the sales call

The lowest published rate in this market usually sits behind a monthly commitment measured in thousands. Quoting it beside a pay as you go rate is not a comparison. Compare the rate you can reach today.

Why an old benchmark is wrong

Every review of this market, this one included, is a photograph of a moving thing. Read the date on any comparison you find, and discount it heavily once it is more than a few months old.

A table like this can rank the things that are written down. It cannot rank the thing that matters most, which is how the network behaves against the site you care about.

What to do instead of reading more comparisons

The steps below take about ten minutes and settle the question properly.

  1. Put a few dollars on each account. Trials are fine for a first look, but paid traffic is what you will actually be buying.
  2. Run them against the site you actually care about, using the code you actually run, within the same hour.
  3. Track the success rate and the bandwidth. A cheap gigabyte that fails half the time is not cheap.
  4. Run a sample of the addresses through an independent lookup, because advertised geography and actual geography differ more often than the market admits.
  5. Keep the winner, and repeat the whole thing quarterly, because pools age.

Comparable providers

We hold the same record for these, and the same honest limits apply to each:

Our own position

Our end of it is a wallet, four proxy types and no contract. Residential begins at $0.44 per GB and the balance does not expire. The free proxy list and checker are open to anyone, and they are the fastest way to see how we treat measurement before you spend anything.

Frequently asked questions

Why look for a ScrapeBox alternative at all?
The usual reasons any buyer compares two providers: the pricing model stopped fitting the usage pattern, a target started blocking, a specific country underperformed, a balance expired, or support went quiet. None of those is visible from a marketing page, which is why a small paid test on your own target settles it faster than any review.
What does ScrapeBox advertise?
We do not hold a current, sourced price for ScrapeBox, so this page does not print one. Read their own pricing page for the rate, the minimum and the commitment, and note the date you read it, because all three move.
How do I compare two providers fairly?
Match the units first, because residential is billed per gigabyte, datacenter and ISP per address, and mobile per day or per port. Then compare the rate you can actually reach today rather than the volume tier behind a commitment. Finish by measuring the success rate on your own target, since a cheap request that fails costs more than a dearer one that works.
Is a cheaper provider usually worse?
Not reliably. Price in this market reflects the supply model and the sales overhead as much as the network. What price does not tell you is the success rate on your target, and that is the figure that decides whether the cheaper option was cheap or expensive. Measure before assuming either way.
Does a bigger pool mean better results?
No. Your job meets only the exits it draws, in the countries it needs, against one target's defences. Freshness and rotation policy move the outcome far more than the headline total, and pool totals across this market are counted generously and rarely audited.

Proxies that don't die mid-job

Residential, ISP, datacenter and mobile, verified by the same engine that runs tens of millions of checks. They read as a real device and hold up under load. Pay as you go, and your balance never expires. $0.44/GB is the 2,000 GB+ rate; a single gigabyte is $0.50/GB, with no minimum order.
