Nexscope vs ZenRows

Nexscope 39

Hosted lines, graded on the remote MCP server and the REST API at api.nexscope.ai. No status page is linked from the home page, llms.txt, the API quickstart or the MCP map, and none was found (0). With no page there is no incident history to read (5). The pricing page publishes requests a second and concurrency per plan, the same for API and MCP, with 1 and 1 on the trial, 3 and 2 on Starter, 5 and 4 on Growth, 10 and 8 on Pro (15). The quickstart calls 429 an 'execution admission rate limit' and says to honour Retry-After on 429 and 503 when present. No idempotency key exists. The repository says 'Do not blindly retry POST requests' and to check whether a task was created before resubmitting, and the MCP tool pages say a reconnecting client should query existing async work rather than resubmit. SoldFetch earned 15 with idempotency keys and SandBase 11 with keys on some writes, so guidance without keys earns 9 (9 of 15). No SLA, and the terms say 'We cannot guarantee the Service will be available at all times' (0). No beta or preview label on the API or the MCP server (10). 0+5+15+9+0+10 = 39.

Better Stack status page with 6 components (Fetch standard, Fetch headless, Proxies, Residential Proxies, Browser Sessions, website) (20). The feed's newest incident is still the AWS outage of 20 October 2025, so nothing in the 90 days to 1 November, with the Fetch service at 99.998 per cent and the website at 100 on 1 November (30). Concurrency per plan is published (5 on Free up to 1,000 or more on Enterprise) and every response carries Concurrency-Limit and Concurrency-Remaining headers (15). The OpenAPI file documents 429 AUTH008 with exponential backoff and Concurrency-Remaining, and says there is no Retry-After (12 of 15). The pricing page lists an SLA under Enterprise, but no terms or figure are published (0). Fetch is generally available. Crawl, launched on 9 October, is still called 'still evolving' in the MCP README (10).

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.

x402 and MPP through an agent storefront at agents.zenrows.com run by ZeroClick, which sells Fetch and Extract and proxies calls through its own path, with pay-as-you-go credits at $0.50 per 1,000 (10,000 minimum) per the pricing docs. Nothing on api.zenrows.com itself (20 of 40). Credit weights and plan prices are public, Build B1 $19 for 45,000 credits up to Scale S5 $2,999 for 45 million (20). 5,000 free credits a month, no card (20). With no key set, the stdio MCP and the CLI provision a Free account through POST https://app.zenrows.com/api/agent/signup, which the OpenAPI file documents, and an agent can also buy over x402 at the storefront (20).

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.

Closed service, with ZENROWS, S.L. named in full (Getxo, Spain, tax ID B10660298). The MCP is MIT (15 of 30). The privacy policy, still dated September 2024, keeps account data for the contract plus legal periods. A Data Processing Agreement at /legal/data-processing-agreement, in effect since 1 June 2022 and not read on 1 or 6 October, commits to deletion with a certificate on request, prompt breach notice and liability for sub-processors, with no SCCs or right to object to a new sub-processor. The GDPR page keeps trial and cancelled accounts until deletion is requested. Batch results are kept 14 days, and no retention is stated for Fetch responses (19 of 30). A published versioning policy promises at least twelve months' notice, Deprecation and Sunset headers and a migration guide before a version is retired. The 2026 renames carried no dated notices (15 of 20). The privacy policy names six US recipients with their transfer mechanism (Google, Amplitude, AWS, Stripe, ProfitWell, HubSpot). The GDPR page says the service is 'primarily hosted on Digital Ocean' and sends email through Intercom, neither of which is on that list, and there's no single sub-processor list with locations (16 of 20). 15+19+15+16 = 65.

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.

63 MCP tools on 1 November, up from 52 on 17 October, after v2.15.0 to v2.18.0 added two prepare_domain tools, six Batch tools and per-operation local storage tools. 38 are browser actions, and there are no toolsets. The API itself sizes well with response_type, css_extractor and outputs (10 of 25). Markdown, plain text or PDF output, CSS extraction, outputs filters, an extract tool, 11 batch tools and paged crawl results (18 of 20). Coded errors with documented fixes, a capped key's 402 that tells the agent the account's other keys still work, and REQS007 now names its reason and the next tool to call (18 of 20). Every one of the 63 tools carries readOnlyHint and destructiveHint, crawl_create and batch_create take an idempotency_key, and only successful requests are billed (18 of 20). mode=auto picks the setup and url is the only required field. Official Python and Node SDKs (15).

Nexscope 64

A public OpenAPI 3.1 file at api.nexscope.ai/openapi.json, about 3.8 MB, linked from the quickstart. Visible request bodies are typed with required fields, patterns, enums and additionalProperties: false, but responses are open data objects and the components section, with the security scheme and the shared error response, wasn't reached. In the repository 166 of 252 request definitions are field descriptors rather than JSON Schema. The hosted tools/list wasn't read. SoldFetch took 17 with untyped responses and SandBase 22 with components unread (19 of 25). llms.txt on www.nexscope.ai and Markdown references for every API in the repository (10). MCP tool descriptions are one line ('Find Amazon products by keyword and marketplace. Results come back as structured JSON.'), with no when-not-to-use. The repository's references carry long trigger text ('trigger this skill whenever their need involves real-time Amazon search results'), not guidance on when to pick another tool (10 of 20). Tool pages list types, defaults, enums and length limits, but the Amazon Search page marks no argument required and omits the keyword its own examples pass, and many limits sit in prose (8 of 15). Every API has a request sample, a response fixture and cURL, JavaScript and Python clients, though most fixtures are labelled historical. Errors are an HTTP table, two named codes (11209, 12001) and a semantic error response whose schema wasn't read. MCP errors aren't documented (10 of 15). Path versioning under /v1, MCP v2 beside a legacy v1, and a dated OpenAPI version label, but no public changelog. SandBase earned 7 on the same pattern (7 of 15). 19+10+10+8+10+7 = 64.

OpenAPI 3.1 at www.zenrows.com/openapi.json covers Fetch, Extract, Crawl (added after the 9 October launch), Batch, agent signup and HMAC key rotation, and the 63 MCP tools have typed zod inputs (25). llms.txt with 105 entries linking 240 docs pages on 1 November, each with a Markdown copy (10). The scrape tool says when to prefer extract, when to turn on js_render or premium_proxy, and gives three examples, and the crawl tools say when to wait, page or download. The browser tools are terser (18 of 20). Enums on mode and response_type, URL validation and required fields, but css_extractor is a JSON string and outputs a comma-separated string (12 of 15). Error catalogue of 35 codes such as AUTH004 and RESP002, plus a table of Batch and Extract codes, grouped by HTTP status with fixes, and every OpenAPI operation lists its error responses (15). The API is versioned in the path (v1, never retired), a dated changelog at www.zenrows.com/changelog runs to 9 October 2026, with nothing newer on 1 November, and the MCP has semver tags. The 2026 renames (Universal Scraper API to Fetch, Scraping Browser to Browser Sessions) aren't in it (13 of 15).

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.

MCP v2.18.0 on 2026-10-30 (30). Seven MCP minor releases from 18 to 30 October alone (v2.12.0 to v2.18.0), and dated changelog entries on 2, 5 and 9 October (20). We couldn't read GitHub issues. PRs are merged within days and the dated changelog on zenrows.com runs to 9 October (15 of 25). In the official MCP registry as io.github.ZenRows/zenrows-mcp, with 2.18.0 published on 30 October and marked latest (15). CI runs typecheck, lint and tests on a Node matrix, and a check that server.json matches the package version (10).
