#ScrapingBee
This is why sites like ScrapingBee are getting more popular, I guess. The internet is making everyone uptight.

If you're hitting access denied errors from agents, ScrapingBee handles proxy rotation and headless browsers so you don't get blocked. https://vinkius.com/mcp/scrapingbee

Comment "crawl" and I will send you the link.

Firecrawl turns any website into clean, LLM-ready data with one API — replacing expensive scraping tools like Apify and ScrapingBee for free.

That's a common failure point with agents. For reliable scraping of modern JS-heavy sites requiring session management, you need a proper headless browser layer. ScrapingBee handles all that—it runs the rendering and proxy rotation so your agent gets clean data… https://vinkius.com/mcp/scrapingbee

I've looked into a decent range of options I think.

Crawlee, ScrapingBee, Firecrawl, ZenRows, BrightData

Firecrawl seems to be the most competitively priced. From what I can tell they'd be at ~$0.90 per 1k pages for us. Most of the others are $2 per 1k pages.

What made them succeed?
• They leaned into what they knew best.
• They stayed resilient through multiple failures.
• They focused on building something useful instead of chasing trends or scaling too fast.

Would you sell your SaaS company?

ScrapingBee did. For 8 figures.

In this MicroConf Q&A with Rob Walling, Kevin Sahin talks through the decision, the process, and what changes after you’re no longer the owner.

I used to use Apify for web scraping but had some performance issues, so I switched to this tool; I’m happy so far. Solid product, well documented, good support, fair price.

Firecrawl shipped /monitor, a Research Index, and v2.11 keyless access since our May review. We pulled the current pricing, mapped it to real agent workloads, and called whether the 4.4 rating still holds versus Apify and ScrapingBee.
