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

  1. Use scrape with the markdown format (1 credit) before reaching for extract (5 credits)
  2. Read GET https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com/api/agent/protocols for current packs and prices before paying over x402
  3. MCP tool calls stop at 60 seconds. Use crawl_start and poll for anything longer
  4. Back off 1, 2 then 4 seconds on a 429 rate_limit_exceeded. No Retry-After is sent
  5. Use Orthogonal's x402 gateway when you need to pay per call without a key

Scrapewise

  1. Call each paid tool with quote_only: true first, then repeat with the same idempotency_key so a retry is charged once
  2. 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
  3. Use an LLM_READ key unless the task needs paid tools or writes, since LLM_FULL has no per-tool consent
  4. 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
  5. 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

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
