We started Best Web Scrapers to cut through the noise of vendor marketing and give builders clear, unbiased advice on how to capture and operationalize web data.
Teams across growth, revenue operations, research, and product rely on web data to make faster decisions. Our mission is to help them pick the right tooling, understand the trade-offs, and implement reliable scraping workflows without spending weeks on discovery.
We independently review web scraping platforms, enrichment APIs, and managed services. Every profile blends product testing, customer interviews, and pricing analysis so you know exactly where a tool shines and where it falls short.
Those insights fuel our comparison matrix, use-case breakdowns, and the growing library of implementation guides.
We publish changelog notes so you know exactly when our guidance was last refreshed.
Re-scored 18 top platforms after pricing changes and new AI-assisted extraction launches.
Expanded our compliance playbooks following EU AI Act negotiations and new U.S. state privacy rules.
Refreshed benchmark suite with latency, coverage, and uptime data from 1.2M production requests.
Our distributed team pressure-tests platforms daily so you get practical, field-tested insights instead of vendor talking points.
