Verdicts
ScrapeGraphAI
An agent can mint an account and key over x402 or MPP with no signup. Rate limits and plan prices differ between docs pages.
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.
Before you call either
ScrapeGraphAI
- Use
scrapewith the markdown format (1 credit) before reaching forextract(5 credits) - Read
GET https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com/api/agent/protocolsfor current packs and prices before paying over x402 - MCP tool calls stop at 60 seconds. Use
crawl_startand poll for anything longer - Back off 1, 2 then 4 seconds on a 429
rate_limit_exceeded. No Retry-After is sent - Use Orthogonal's x402 gateway when you need to pay per call without a key
Scrapewise
- Call each paid tool with
quote_only: truefirst, then repeat with the sameidempotency_keyso a retry is charged once - Connect to
https://mcp.scrapewise.ai/mcp?toolsets=outcome,adminto build scrapers; a misspelttoolsetsis ignored silently and leaves the 14 data tools - Use an LLM_READ key unless the task needs paid tools or writes, since LLM_FULL has no per-tool consent
- 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
- Scrape many addresses with one
scrapewise_run_scraper_url_listcall (up to 5,000) and retry with the same name, never one scraper per address
