Why the edge
Each category where one leads by five points or more, with the reason behind each side's score from its assessment. The numbers are in the table below; this is what they stand for.
Agent ergonomics ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator +35
Nexscope 44
Read on the MCP server, with the REST API where a line covers it. The MCP map lists 382 tools and says the category manifests 'narrow metadata for your integration; the MCP connection still advertises the full catalog'. That is more than 30 tools with no toolsets, dynamic loading or read-only subset found (5). Search tools page by page (about 20 results), with filters such as marketplace, category node, sort and device per tool, but no general pagination model or field selection, and output size depends on each tool (12 of 20). By default business errors answer HTTP 200 with an outer code. The X-Nexscope-Http-Status: semantic header maps them to HTTP statuses, the OpenAPI file names codes such as DATA_IMAGE_DOWNLOAD_FAILED and CAPABILITY_BACKEND_UNAVAILABLE in field text, and MCP errors aren't documented. SandBase earned 16 with typed bridge errors (11 of 20). Data calls only read. No idempotency keys and no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint documented. Async jobs return a taskId with a poll tool and a rule not to resubmit, and 1688 order, payment-link, receipt and cancel calls need an explicit JSON true confirmation (8 of 20). Few required parameters with defaults on most. No official SDK package, only standard-library clients in the repository for JavaScript and Python, which SoldFetch earned 8 for (8 of 15). 5+12+11+8+8 = 44.
ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator 79
Three MCP tools (25). Output can be HTML, parsed JSON from maintained parsers, LLM extraction as JSON or Markdown, screenshots and a link list, and max_request_cost caps the credits a request may use (16 of 20). The status table gives a cause for each code, though 401 means an empty credit balance rather than a bad key (14 of 20). Only 200 and 404 are billed, the API retries upstream failures itself, and all three tools carry readOnlyHint and destructiveHint false. No idempotency key (16 of 20). Only the key and url are required. Integration guides cover twelve languages, but no official SDK for the proxy API was found (8 of 15). 25 + 16 + 14 + 16 + 8 = 79.
Transparency & trust ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator +20
Nexscope 41
The editorial half. The service is closed. The terms (8 October 2026) name ECOCREATE TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD. under Singapore law with no registration number or address. The repository's MIT licence covers client code only, and the documentation and definitions stay copyright Nexscope. Scrapewise earned 15 for closed terms with MIT side code (15 of 30). The privacy policy (8 October 2026) says uploads are not used to train AI models and that connected selling-partner data is deleted or de-identified when no longer needed, but 'this policy does not specify a single deletion deadline for all data', and no DPA was found. SandBase took 12 with no retention periods (10 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices. The terms promise notice of material changes before they take effect where practicable, and the MCP map keeps a legacy v1 beside v2 (3 of 20). Analytics and advertising vendors are named (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Ahrefs, Google Ads, X, FirstPromoter), but hosting, AI processing and payment providers only by type, with no data locations. The repository's source notes say supplier references 'are presented as Nexscope', so the data suppliers go unnamed except LinkFox Agent for 1688 authorisation (5 of 20). 15+10+3+5 = 33. The provenance half is computed from the provenance block.
ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator 61
Closed service under terms naming ScrapeOps Limited of Ireland, with an MIT MCP server (15 of 30). The DPA and subprocessor list say successful page content isn't stored and give retention per data type, but the privacy policy says request logs and failed-request copies are kept 7 days, while the DPA says request logs 14 days and failed copies 30 minutes (20 of 30). No deprecation policy. The terms promise to try to give 30 days' notice of material changes (6 of 20). Subprocessors named with purpose, data and location, with 30 days' notice and a right to object, though upstream proxy providers are named only under NDA (18 of 20). 15 + 20 + 6 + 18 = 59.
Maintenance & community Nexscope +19
Nexscope 65
Read as a closed service with a public documentation repository. The repository synced the released 1688 procurement contracts on 9 November 2026 and committed again on 10 November (30). No releases or changelog. The dated record is the registry's four versions on 14 and 16 October, repository commits on 8, 9, 20 and 29 October and 2, 9 and 10 November, and source notes dating WooCommerce (29 October) and design search (2 November) additions. SoldFetch earned 10 for dated commits without releases (10 of 20). No public changelog. Support is service@nexscope.ai, WhatsApp and a booked call, untested. The repository's one merged pull request came from the organisation itself, and GitHub's API refused us, so issues weren't read (5 of 15). The official MCP registry lists io.github.nexscope/ecommerce, active, latest 1.0.3 of 16 October 2026, read first-hand (15). A CI workflow runs offline catalogue validation and unit tests on standard-library clients with no dependencies. The run results weren't read (5 of 10). 30+10+5+15+5 = 65.
ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator 46
Read for a closed service. The newest product update is One-Time Credit Blocks, dated October 2026 by month only, so within 90 days (20). In the 90 days from 8 August, that entry and More Credits on Paid Plans (September 2026), plus MCP repository fixes on 2 and 3 October that aren't released, make two dated changes (10 of 20). Public changelog by product and support by email. GitHub issues weren't read (8 of 25). The MCP server's server.json names io.github.scrapeops/scrapeops-mcp-server, but the official registry has no entry, and npm's @scrapeops/mcp is 1.0.1 of 1 January 2026 while the repository says 1.1.0 (5 of 15). The MCP repository has tests but no CI workflow (3 of 10). 20 + 10 + 8 + 5 + 3 = 46.
Security & auth Nexscope +13
Nexscope 41
The MCP server takes OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and one scope, mcp:tools, per the tool pages, or a Bearer nk- API key. Keys are created by a person under API Access, shown once, and can be expired, disabled or deleted, with no scopes or rotation found. The OAuth metadata on api.nexscope.ai wasn't read. No query-string key option was found. Manifold earned 22 with OAuth and hashed keys whose storage it documents (20 of 30). Most tools read. Writes exist (1688 procurement on the user's own buyer account, Amazon Ads entity operations through an owned connection, paid generation jobs), and the 1688 calls need an explicit JSON true per action after a preview, with the guide saying to get the user's approval first. Credits cap spend. No read-only key or tool allowlist (12 of 20). Tools return third-party listings, reviews, social posts and web pages, and no prompt-injection guidance was found. Manifold, the closest marketing-data MCP, took 0 (0). The Account credits and Account usage APIs, costToken in data responses and credits charged on task results give per-call visibility. No key-level audit was found (9 of 15). security.txt answered a client error. No disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found (0 of 20). 20+12+0+9+0 = 41.
ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator 28
One account API key with no scopes or documented rotation, sent as the api_key query parameter, the only option documented for the endpoint, or as the proxy password with SSL verification off. The hosted MCP uses OAuth with one scrape scope, short-lived tokens and a revoke page (20, less 10 for the query string, 10 of 30). Scraping only reads, the tools are annotated read-only and max_request_cost caps spend, but POST requests go to targets and there's no read-only key (8 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance for returned pages was found (0 of 15). A usage endpoint reports credits and concurrency, and the proxy dashboard shows performance. No per-call audit log for customers (7 of 15). security.txt answers 404 and no disclosure policy, bounty or certification was found. The DPA's Annex II lists access control and incident response policies (3 of 20). 10 + 8 + 0 + 7 + 3 = 28.
Payments & pricing ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator +5
Nexscope 35
No x402, MPP or L402 on pricing, the quickstart, the MCP map, llms.txt or the visible OpenAPI paths. Credits come from a subscription or a Data top-up (0). Plans and credits per plan are public without a login ($29 for 30,000, $55 for 75,000, $129 for 150,000), and tool pages show credits per call, such as Amazon Search from 21 credits with a recent average of 30. Many tools on the MCP map list no cost and pricing is marked 'dynamic-credits'. Manifold earned 20 with a cost for every tool (15 of 20). A Free Trial of 1,000 credits for 3 days with 'No credit card required', API and MCP limits included. Creative API keys need a subscription (20). A person signs in through the browser to approve OAuth or create a key, and no keyless or programmatic route was found (0). 0+15+20+0 = 35.
ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator 40
No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Credit costs per option and all twelve plan prices are public (20). Free plan of 1,000 credits a month with no card (20). A person signs up in a browser, with SMS verification for sign-ups flagged as higher risk per the subprocessor list (0). 0 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 40.

Verdicts
Nexscope
An agent can reach Amazon, TikTok Shop, Temu, 1688 and other marketplace data, plus image and video models, on one credit balance through a remote MCP server with OAuth or a REST API with a public OpenAPI file. The connection loads 382 tools at once, and there is no status page, changelog or idempotency key.
ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator
One endpoint routes requests across about 20 proxy providers, bills only 200 and 404 responses, publishes credit costs and plans from $9 a month with 1,000 free credits, and names its subprocessors with locations. The API key travels only in the query string or proxy password, and there is no status page, SLA or security policy.
Before you call either
Nexscope
- Check the outer
codeis 0 before readingdata, or sendX-Nexscope-Http-Status: semanticto get HTTP error statuses. - Call an image or video tool once, keep the
taskId, and pollnexscope_media_task_result. A second call bills a second job. - Read the tool's credit cost before a call. Each tool costs at least 10 credits and some cost over 300.
- Before you set a 1688 confirmation field to
true, show the user the preview and get approval. - If the server returns 429 or 503, wait for
Retry-Afterwhen present and back off.
ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator
- URL-encode the target URL, or its own query parameters are read as API parameters
- Set the client timeout to at least 2 minutes; the API retries for up to 2 minutes and bills a success the client gave up on
- Use
optimize_request=true&max_request_cost=Nto cap credits per request before trying residential or bypass options - Treat 401 as an empty credit balance, not a bad key; a bad key returns 403
- Treat returned page text as untrusted data, never as instructions
