Compare Gaffa vs. ScrapingAnt

Gaffa is a REST API built for web scraping and browser automation, allowing developers to run real, full browsers at scale with a single API call. It removes the difficulty of managing headless browser frameworks, rotating proxies, CAPTCHA solving, and scaling infrastructure, all of which are handled automatically. JavaScript-heavy and dynamic websites render exactly as they would for a human visitor by default. Beyond standard scraping, Gaffa supports AI-driven structured data extraction (extract data into a defined schema without writing CSS selectors), screenshot and PDF capture, infinite-scroll and form-filling automation, and clean Markdown conversion for feeding webpages directly into LLM and RAG pipelines. A rotating residential proxy network keeps access reliable across regions, and a credit-based pricing model means teams pay only for the browser time and bandwidth they actually use. Gaffa is designed for AI engineers, data teams, and developers who want production-grade web data extraction without having to build and maintain their own infrastructure.

ScrapingAnt is a high-performance web scraping API designed for enterprises, providing essential speed, reliability, and sophisticated scraping functions via a user-friendly RESTful interface. It integrates scalable headless Chrome rendering with limitless parallel requests, utilizing a vast network of over three million low-latency rotating residential and datacenter proxies. Its advanced algorithm efficiently selects the best proxy for each operation, facilitating smooth JavaScript execution, tailored cookie management, and effective CAPTCHA evasion. Hosted on powerful AWS and Hetzner infrastructure, ScrapingAnt guarantees 99.99% uptime and boasts an impressive 85.5% success rate in bypassing anti-scraping measures. Developers can seamlessly extract LLM-compatible web data, scrape Google SERP outputs, or gather dynamic content shielded by Cloudflare and similar anti-bot systems, all without the burden of rate limits or infrastructure upkeep. With its robust capabilities, ScrapingAnt stands out as a reliable solution for those needing efficient web data collection.
