Before anything about Scrappa: 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.
What we can and cannot tell you about Scrappa
The domain is scrappa.co. The last automated check bounced off a bot filter rather than reaching the page. That is ordinary here, and it appears only to explain the gap in our record.
A price is missing here on purpose. We have not captured a sourced rate for Scrappa recently enough to publish one, and a stale number in this market is a wrong number.
Their pricing page will answer three of the four questions that matter. Send an email for the fourth, which is usually whether blocked requests are billed, and keep the reply.
How Scrappa presents itself
On 9 September 2026 their homepage carried the title "Scrappa Web Scraping API, 80+ JSON Data Endpoints". The description they publish for search engines reads: "Scrappa is a web scraping API for Google Search, Maps, YouTube, LinkedIn, jobs, reviews, and more. Get structured JSON with 500 free monthly credits."
Also on the page, stated plainly:
The product lines named on that page are a scraping or SERP API. Payment methods mentioned: cards. The page offers some form of free trial. Their pricing page is titled "Scraper API Pricing: $0.20-$0.30 per 1K Requests, Scrappa".
All of the above is their copy, not our finding. A dated quotation is the weakest kind of evidence that is still evidence.
What they have built around the product
A crawl of 677 pages returned 5 blog pages, 1 pricing page and 1 use-case page.
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 114 pages carrying a date. The oldest is from January 2025 and the newest from August 2026. 111 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.
What the advertised numbers cannot tell you
What happens when it breaks at two in the morning
Every provider works when nothing is wrong. The difference shows up on the day a subnet gets flagged or a gateway stops answering. Before committing volume, send one real question through the support channel and time the reply.
Why a cheap address is often a used one
Ask how many accounts can sit on one address at once. Where the answer is unlimited or unspecified, price the plan as shared regardless of what the product is called.
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.
What separates them, in a table
This is the shortest table that still decides the purchase:
| Question to ask | Scrappa | 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:
- Smmcost alternatives
- SOAX alternatives
- Sochillpanel alternatives
- SocksEscort alternatives
- Sockslist alternatives
- Somuch alternatives
Where HProxy sits in that test
We sell residential proxies from $0.44 per GB with no subscription and a balance that does not expire, plus ISP, mobile and datacenter in the same account. That is the pitch, and the test above is a better judge of it than this paragraph.
