Alternative to ScrapingBee
MrScraper is the ScrapingBee alternative that's visual, easy to use, affordable and comes with a powerful scheduler and other tools.
Why search for ScrapingBee alternatives?
ScrapingBee is a great API tool for web scraping. But users may find MrScraper a better alternative to ScrapingBee because of the following 3 main reasons:
-
Visual and easier to use
-
With MrScraper, you can effortlessly build and schedule powerful web scrapers using a user-friendly visual dashboard accessible with just a few clicks of your mouse.
-
Powerful scheduler
-
Since ScrapingBee is an API only product, you will need to schedule scrapers yourself. With MrScraper you have a built-in and super flexible scheduler.
-
Fairer pricing
-
MrScraper web scrapings are run using real browsers by default and at the same cost, and MrScraper only charges you for the extracted data and not for the features used.
MrScraper is For non-developers too
MrScraper is more Visual and easier to use
ScrapingBee is an API product, meaning this that you will need to code your part of the code in order to extract the desired data, to schedule the scraper or to parse the results into the desired format.
Yes, ScrapingBee has integrations with no-code platforms, but you still have to understand and craft the API requests on your side.
On the other hand, MrScraper also has an API included, but the main service is a visual and no-code dashboard, where you can setup and schedule web scrapers only using your mouse. No code required.
With MrScraper you can Scrape while you sleep
MrScraper has a Powerful scheduler
Unlike ScrapingBee, which only offers an API service, MrScraper provides a complete no-code toolkit that includes a powerful scheduler.
With just a few clicks, you can schedule your scrapers to run at specific intervals, freeing up time and allowing you to focus on other tasks.
Whether you need your scraper to run once a minute or just on certain days of the week, MrScraper's flexible scheduling options make it easy to meet your needs.
Don't pay for essentials
MrScraper has a Fairer pricing
ScrapingBee operates on a credit system, where the cost of each scrape is determined by the selected features. While this may be suitable for occasional scraping, the costs can quickly accumulate if you require frequent, powerful scrapers.
In contrast, MrScraper's pricing model is based on tokens charged per extracted data.
This means that all features are included with every scrape, and you are only charged for the actual amount of data extracted. This often results in a lower cost per data ratio compared to ScrapingBee's credit system.

MrScraper is a game changer!
We're able to quickly and painlessly create automated scrapers across a variety of sites without worrying about getting blocked (loading JS, rotating proxies, etc.), scheduling, or scaling up when we want more data - all we need to do is open the site that we want to scrape in devtools, find the elements that we want to extract, and MrScraper takes care of the rest! Plus, since MrScraper's pricing is based on the size of the data that we're extracting it's quite cheap in comparison to most other services.
I definitely recommend checking out MrScraper if you want to take the complexity out of scraping.
