Why Teams Switch from ScrapingBee

No API Credits to Count

ScrapingBee meters every request in credits, and a single JavaScript render burns 5. ScraperCity is one flat monthly price with no per-request math.

Finished Data, No Parsing

ScrapingBee returns raw HTML you still have to parse into fields. ScraperCity gives you clean CSV rows that are ready to import.

No Credit-Burn Surprises

Premium and stealth proxies cost 10 to 75 credits per call, so bills spike on hard sites. ScraperCity never charges more for a tough page.

No Code to Maintain

Skip endpoints, retry logic, and CSS selectors. Search the lead database or run a ready-made scraper and export a CSV.

Common ScrapingBee Complaints

Based on user feedback, these are the issues that send people looking for a simpler option:

Credit Cost Depends on the Page

A plain request is 1 credit, but JavaScript rendering is 5, premium proxies are 10 to 25, and stealth proxies are 75. The real cost of a workflow is hard to predict. ScraperCity is flat.

You Still Parse the HTML

ScrapingBee fetches and renders the page, but you still write selectors, normalize fields, and join data across pages. ScraperCity hands you finished rows, no parsing.

Overages and Tier-Locked Features

Passing your monthly credit cap triggers overage fees, and features like geotargeting sit behind the $249 Business plan. ScraperCity has one price and no feature gates.
