Questions

Switching from
Scrapfly?

Is Monocrawl a good Scrapfly alternative?

For social, shopping and review data, yes. You get structured fields from 70+ platforms at published prices, with monitors and alerts built in, instead of raw HTML to extract yourself.

How much does Scrapfly cost?

Plans start at $30 a month for 200,000 credits. A request costs 1 credit on datacenter proxies, 25 on residential proxies and 5 more with rendering, and Unblocker fees for specific targets are not publicly documented. Monocrawl publishes one fixed price per endpoint.

Does Scrapfly have a TikTok or Instagram API?

Its scraper directory lists an Amazon scraper API. For TikTok or Instagram you scrape the page and extract the data yourself, with extraction templates or AI models at 1 to 5 credits. Monocrawl has hosted endpoints for both that return defined fields.

Are failed requests charged?

Monocrawl charges nothing for failed calls, including pages that don’t exist. Scrapfly doesn’t bill failed scrapes, but still charges some responses, including 400, 401, 404 and 410.

Can I get alerts when data changes?

Yes. Monocrawl monitors run on a schedule, work out what changed and alert you by email, Slack, Discord or webhook.
