## Which one, for what

### ScrapeGraphAI (B)

Good for: LLM pipelines that want prompt-to-JSON extraction and for agents that must pay with a wallet.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 64 against 45
- Schema & documentation, 88 against 79
- Payments & pricing, 90 against 40
- Transparency & trust, 60 against 53

Watch for: Rate limits and plan prices differ between docs pages

### Scrapewise (B)

Good for: Agents that need e-commerce prices, Amazon and Google data, or recurring price monitoring with cleaning and product matching, paid per page in euros.

Ahead on:
- Agent ergonomics, 86 against 72
- Security & auth, 58 against 39
- Maintenance & community, 79 against 70

Also in its favour:
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: No status page, SLA, security.txt, disclosure policy or certification found

## 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
