Which should you pick?
Choose ZenRows if this fits: best success rate against cloudflare-protected sites. ZenRows focuses on the specific problem of modern anti-bot protection and does well at it, with a browser endpoint and raw proxies available from the same account.
Choose Scrapfly if this fits: best observability when scrapes start failing. Scrapfly tells you why a request failed and which anti-bot system blocked it, which is the single most useful thing a scraping API can do when things break.
Overall, our scores favor Scrapfly (8.1 vs 8.0) - but the right choice depends on which trade-offs matter to you. Read the full ZenRows review and Scrapfly review.
