Why developers switch from Bright Data

Same data, simpler API, transparent pricing, no proxy management.

Simple API, No Setup

Bright Data requires configuring proxy zones, IP rotation, and data collectors. Scrappa is a single API call — send a request, get structured JSON back.

Transparent Pricing

Bright Data's pricing is complex with per-GB, per-request, and minimum commitment tiers. Scrappa starts at $0.30/1k requests, dropping to $0.20/1k at scale.

No Minimum Commitment

Bright Data often requires annual contracts and minimum monthly spend. Scrappa has zero minimums — pay only for what you use.

Credits Don't Expire Monthly

With Scrappa, purchased credits last 12 months. No wasted budget on unused capacity, no pressure to use it or lose it.

Generous Free Tier

Get 500 free credits every month. Test all 80+ endpoints with no credit card required. Bright Data does not offer a recurring free tier.

Automatic Fallbacks

Multiple proxy strategies and provider fallbacks ensure reliable results. If one path fails, requests automatically retry through alternatives.
