No public status page or incident history.\n\n**Scrapewise.** Agents get 14 priced MCP tools by default, each with a free `quote_only` price check and idempotency keys, read-only or full-access keys, and public euro prices from €0.15 per 1,000 plain pages. There is no status page, SLA or vulnerability disclosure policy, and the terms claim ownership of all scraped data under a perpetual licence.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Bright Data\n\n1. Connect with OAuth or keep the `?token=` URL out of logs and shared configs\n2. Add `groups=` or `tools=` to the MCP URL only for the extractors you need. The full set is 69 tools\n3. Retry `reject_block` errors, since each attempt uses a different peer. Certificate and DNS errors fail the same way twice\n4. Back off on a 429 `sr_rate_limit`. Bright Data throttles a target whose success rate drops\n5. Use the batch tools for up to 10 searches or scrapes in one call\n\n### Scrapewise\n\n1. Call each paid tool with `quote_only: true` first, then repeat with the same `idempotency_key` so a retry is charged once\n2. Connect to `https://mcp.scrapewise.ai/mcp?toolsets=outcome,admin` to build scrapers; a misspelt `toolsets` is ignored silently and leaves the 14 data tools\n3. Use an LLM_READ key unless the task needs paid tools or writes, since LLM_FULL has no per-tool consent\n4. Treat 402 WALLET_INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE as final and ask the user to top up; on 429 wait for Retry-After, and on 429 cost_exceeded wait for the next hour\n5. Scrape many addresses with one `scrapewise_run_scraper_url_list` call (up to 5,000) and retry with the same name, never one scraper per address\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Bright Data or Scrapewise?\n\nScrapewise scores 62.5 (B) on agent readiness against Bright Data's 59.8 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Bright Data leads on maintenance \u0026 community and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Bright Data and Scrapewise need an API key?\n\nBright Data takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Scrapewise needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Bright Data and Scrapewise without installing anything?\n\nYes. Bright Data has a hosted endpoint at https://api.brightdata.com/request and Scrapewise at https://mcp.scrapewise.ai/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-scrapewise.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-scrapewise.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"bright-data\", \"b\": \"scrapewise\"}`.
