ScrapingBee Alternative

Bright Data offers several key advantages: 120+ pre-built scraper APIs for immediate use, a browser-based Web IDE for faster development, a dataset marketplace for instant data access, advanced no-code extraction tools, and comprehensive export format options including JSON, NDJSON, CSV, and Excel. Bright Data also has the largest proxy network with 150M+ residential IPs across 195 countries, compared to ScrapingBee's undisclosed network size. You also get free trials on all Bright Data products with no credit card required.

Bright Data offers flexible pricing across all service tiers. Beyond competitive rates, Bright Data's 120+ pre-built scrapers eliminate weeks of development time per project, and the Web IDE significantly reduces debugging cycles. The dataset marketplace provides instant access to ready-made data, saving time and resources.

The combination of efficient infrastructure, reduced development overhead, and comprehensive tooling typically results in substantial total cost of ownership savings for teams of all sizes. Contact our team for a customized cost comparison based on your specific usage.

Most customers complete migration within 24-48 hours with zero downtime. The process involves three steps: (1) Sign up and configure your account, (2) Run parallel tests with a portion of your traffic, and (3) Gradual traffic shifting to complete migration.

Our dedicated support team assists throughout the entire process at no additional cost, helping you transition smoothly from ScrapingBee's credit-based system to Bright Data's more flexible infrastructure.

Bright Data supports all essential web scraping features including residential proxies (150M+ IPs), datacenter proxies, ISP proxies, mobile proxies, geo-targeting across 195 countries, automatic CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript rendering, and AI-powered data extraction.

Bright Data also provides additional features that ScrapingBee doesn't offer: a browser-based Web IDE, dataset marketplace for pre-collected data, more advanced no-code extraction tools, and multiple export formats (JSON, NDJSON, CSV, Excel) with direct database integrations. While ScrapingBee has 250+ dedicated scrapers, Bright Data's 120+ APIs are maintained in-house with guaranteed uptime and support.

Bright Data operates one of the world's largest proxy networks with 150M+ residential IPs, 1.3M+ datacenter IPs, 1.3M+ ISP IPs, and 7M+ mobile IPs across 195 countries with city-level and ZIP code targeting. ScrapingBee does not publicly disclose the size of their proxy network.

Bright Data's infrastructure includes advanced fingerprinting technology, automatic retry logic, unlimited bandwidth, and machine learning-based proxy selection that adapts to each target website's requirements, resulting in higher success rates and more reliable data collection at scale.

Absolutely. Bright Data offers free trials on all products with no credit card required. We strongly recommend running parallel tests for 24-48 hours to compare performance, success rates, and data quality before making the switch. This allows you to validate that Bright Data meets or exceeds your requirements with zero risk.

Our team can help you set up side-by-side testing to compare both services, especially for high-volume scraping operations where network size and reliability matter most.

Bright Data supports all major programming languages including Python (with Scrapy framework support), JavaScript/Node.js, Java, PHP, Ruby, C#, Go, and Bash. We provide comprehensive SDKs, code examples, and detailed documentation for each language. Bright Data also offers a browser-based Web IDE where you can write, test, and deploy code without any local setup—something ScrapingBee doesn't offer.

Our platform integrates seamlessly with popular frameworks like Puppeteer, Selenium, Playwright, and BeautifulSoup. ScrapingBee supports similar languages but lacks the integrated development environment.

Yes. Bright Data offers precise geotargeting across 195 countries with city-level and ZIP code targeting included in all plans. You can target specific ASNs (Autonomous System Numbers) and mobile carriers for granular control. ScrapingBee offers geotargeting in their higher-tier plans, but with less granularity.

Bright Data's extensive network (150M+ residential IPs) ensures strong IP availability in every location, reducing the risk of detection and improving success rates for location-specific data collection, especially in smaller cities and regions.

Bright Data offers 120+ specialized, ready-to-use scraper APIs for popular platforms like LinkedIn, Amazon, Google, Instagram, Facebook, Indeed, Zillow, and many more. Each API is maintained and updated by Bright Data's team, ensuring they continue working when target websites change. ScrapingBee offers 250+ dedicated scrapers, but Bright Data focuses on quality over quantity with guaranteed uptime and dedicated support.

With Bright Data's API marketplace, you can launch data collection in hours instead of weeks, with no maintenance burden. Each scraper API returns structured, parsed data in consistent formats, eliminating the need for custom parsing logic. Bright Data also offers a dataset marketplace where you can purchase pre-collected data—something ScrapingBee doesn't provide.

Bright Data's Web IDE is a full-featured, browser-based development environment that includes syntax highlighting, AI scraper building, real-time testing and debugging, built-in proxy testing, version control, one-click deployment, and collaboration features for teams. You can write scraping scripts, test them against live websites, debug issues, and deploy to production—all without leaving your browser.

This accelerates development cycles significantly and is especially valuable for teams that need to collaborate or quickly iterate on scraping logic. ScrapingBee does not offer an integrated development environment—users must work in their local development setup.

Bright Data supports JSON, NDJSON (newline-delimited JSON for streaming), CSV, Excel, and direct database integrations (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB). NDJSON is particularly valuable for processing large datasets in streaming fashion without loading everything into memory. CSV and Excel exports enable non-technical teams to work with data directly in spreadsheets.

ScrapingBee supports JSON, CSV, and XML exports but doesn't offer NDJSON or Excel formats. Bright Data also offers webhook delivery, cloud storage integration (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage), and scheduled automatic exports—giving you more flexibility in how you receive and process your data.

Yes, Bright Data's dataset marketplace offers ready-made datasets covering e-commerce products, real estate listings, job postings, company information, social media data, and more. You can purchase pre-collected data for instant access or request custom datasets tailored to your specific needs.

This is ideal when you need data immediately without waiting for scraping jobs to complete, or when you want to test your analysis pipeline before committing to ongoing data collection. ScrapingBee does not offer a dataset marketplace or pre-collected data—you can only scrape data in real-time through their API.

Bright Data offers several no-code solutions: (1) Visual data selector for point-and-click data extraction, (2) Pre-built scraper templates that require zero coding, (3) Scheduled automatic collection with delivery options, (4) Browser extension for extracting data while browsing, and (5) Direct integrations with tools like Google Sheets, Zapier, and Make.

ScrapingBee offers AI-powered extraction where you describe what data you need in plain English, and CSS/XPath data extraction rules. However, Bright Data provides a more comprehensive suite of no-code tools that empower non-technical team members—marketers, analysts, and business users—to collect web data independently without requiring engineering resources.

Bright Data provides 24/7 global support via live chat, email, and phone in multiple languages. Customers receive dedicated account managers who help optimize performance and reduce costs. We offer free migration assistance from ScrapingBee, technical consultation calls, and access to comprehensive documentation.

Our support team includes experienced developers who understand web scraping challenges and can provide code-level assistance when needed. ScrapingBee offers email support with their plans, but Bright Data's enterprise-grade support infrastructure is designed for mission-critical operations at any scale.

Yes. Bright Data serves 20,000+ customers, including Fortune 500 companies, processing large volumes of public web data daily. Our infrastructure supports unlimited bandwidth with automatic scaling to handle traffic spikes. With 150M+ residential IPs, 1.3M+ datacenter IPs, 1.3M+ ISP IPs, and 7M+ mobile IPs across 195 countries, Bright Data operates one of the world's largest proxy networks.

We can provision dedicated infrastructure for enterprise customers with extreme scale requirements. While ScrapingBee serves smaller teams and mid-sized businesses well, Bright Data's infrastructure is built for enterprise-scale operations with unlimited concurrent requests and bandwidth.

Bright Data is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and international data protection regulations. We maintain ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and CSA STAR Level 1 certifications—demonstrating enterprise-grade security practices. All proxy IPs are ethically sourced with explicit user consent, and we provide transparency about how our network operates.

Bright Data offers customers full audit trails, data processing agreements (DPAs), and our ethical approach to data collection helps protect your brand reputation. ScrapingBee is GDPR compliant, but Bright Data's comprehensive certifications and compliance framework make it the preferred choice for enterprises with strict security and compliance requirements.
