# Kaabist vs Scrape.do

Scrape.do is a scraping API that fetches pages through rotating datacenter, residential or mobile proxies, optionally in a headless browser with a list of actions, and charges only for successful requests. Kaabist runs fixed programs that pause when a site needs you and continue from their last checkpoint once you answer, guard every step that submits so it runs once, heal through fixes you review, work with coding agents over MCP, and discover a site's APIs to skip the browser.

Scrape.do, in their words: "Reliable, Scalable, Unstoppable Web Scraping" (https://scrape.do)

Scrape.do pricing: Free plan with 1,000 credits; Hobby $29/month for 250,000 credits; Pro $99/month for 1.25 million; Business $249/month for 3.5 million; Advanced $699/month for 10 million; only successful requests use credits. Source: https://scrape.do/pricing/

## Capabilities

| Capability | Kaabist | Scrape.do | Note and source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logged-in, multi-step flows | yes | partial | The playWithBrowser parameter runs an ordered list of actions such as Click, Fill, Wait and Execute inside one rendered request; logic across requests lives in your code. https://scrape.do/documentation/headless-browser/browser-interactions/ |
| Persistent sessions | yes | partial | A sessionId keeps the same proxy address until 5 minutes without a request, and cookies are passed with each request through setCookies; we found no stored login reused across runs. https://scrape.do/documentation/api-response/session-id.md |
| Self-healing locators, delivered as proposals you review | yes | unclear | The documentation does not describe what happens to your own actions or selectors when a site changes. |
| Resume a program from its checkpoint after a person answers | yes | no | Each request runs its actions and returns per-action results; we found no way for a request to wait for your input and continue. https://scrape.do/documentation/headless-browser/browser-interactions/ |
| Side-effect fences: a submit never runs twice | yes | no | Requests are independent and the FAQ advises retrying failed ones; no mechanism keeps a submitting action from running twice. https://scrape.do/documentation/faq/ |
| A coding agent builds the program over MCP | yes | partial | Scrape.do's documentation lists n8n and Zapier integrations but no MCP server; a third-party Composio toolkit exposes the API to MCP clients. https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrape_do/framework/claude-code |
| Schedules and change detection | yes | partial | The n8n guide runs scrapes on an n8n Schedule Trigger; we found no built-in scheduler or change detection. https://scrape.do/documentation/integrations/n8n/ |
| Signed webhooks | yes | yes | Async API jobs accept a WebhookURL so results arrive without polling. https://scrape.do/documentation/async-api/ |

## When to choose Scrape.do

You need large volumes of pages fetched past anti-bot systems at a per-request price, and the parsing and logic between requests already live in your own code.
