Choose Evomi if
- Teams choosing between low-commitment traffic and monthly GB tiers
- Agents that can use Evomi's documented MCP tools or Scraper API
Evomi spans raw proxy GB, static ISP IPs and separately credited scraping with official MCP tools. ScraperAPI centers managed URL requests and official hosted/local MCP using monthly API credits. The overlap is a finished extraction; proxy traffic and API requests carry different cost and control.

| Example route for this job | EvomiScraper API | ScraperAPIScraperAPI request API | ProxyLaneResidential proxy gateway for your own fetcher or browser; no managed scraping API |
| Charging basis | Product-specific requests, results or credits | Product-specific requests, results or credits | Prepaid GB that never expires |
| How you pay | Rotating residential, premium residential, mobile and datacenter products meter GB through pay-as-you-go or monthly plans; static ISP is charged per IP without a traffic meter. Scraper API has separate credits. A 512-byte minimum billed consumption applies to each proxy request; check live checkout for core-residential pay-as-you-go tiers. | Monthly credit plans; base requests consume credits and premium routing or rendering can multiply the per-request credit cost. The documentation says 200 and 404 responses and client-cancelled requests may be charged. Free plan offers 1,000 monthly credits and a larger first-week trial; paid plans change concurrent threads and geographic access. | 350 MB trial for $1.95, then prepaid packages from $6.50/GB for 1 GB down to $2.50/GB for 1 TB. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Integration work | Generate type-specific proxy credentials in the dashboard for your HTTP client or browser. The Scraper API and published MCP server provide separate managed interfaces for agents and must be provisioned independently. | Pass an API key and target URL to the ScraperAPI endpoint or configure proxy mode for an existing client. For agents, connect the hosted MCP with a bearer header or run the documented local Python/Docker server with a server-side key. | HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 endpoints on three regional gateways: Europe, the Americas and Asia. Export proxy lists in 8 formats for scripts, scrapers and antidetect browsers. |
| A small or irregular job | Compare a no-commitment GB purchase with the monthly tier for the exact pool, and account for the per-request traffic floor on tiny calls. | Use the free credit allowance to measure target cost, then compare $49 Hobby credits after multiplying any premium/render options. | Start with the 350 MB trial for $1.95 or a 1 GB package. Unused traffic never expires. |
| Browser workflow | Use static ISP for a fixed IP or residential sticky sessions with your browser; Scraper API browser mode is a separate managed request product. | Enable JavaScript rendering when a plain request misses content; proxy mode in an interactive browser can generate many asset requests and credit charges. | Sticky sessions from 1 second to 72 hours, with a named session ID for each browser profile. |
| Connecting an agent | Evomi publishes MCP tools for proxy configuration, scraping and usage; keep proxy credentials out of agent-visible tool output when using its documented masking option. | Connect the documented remote MCP endpoint or run the local server; restrict premium escalation and retries to keep credit spend predictable. | Point your agent's fetcher or browser tool at the proxy endpoint. ProxyLane supplies the network, not a hosted browser. |
| A growing production workload | Track proxy GB, static IP count and Scraper API credits separately; recheck volume terms and trial renewals before production rollout. | Check credit use, concurrent-thread caps and paid plan geotargeting before moving a crawler from the trial to production. | Target by country, region, city, ZIP, ISP or ASN across 195 countries. Larger packages lower the rate to $2.50/GB. |

On a small difficult-URL set, compare Evomi Scraper API with ScraperAPI's endpoint using matching fields, geography and rendering needs. ScraperAPI premium or rendered calls can multiply credits, and certain 200/404 or cancelled calls can be charged. Evomi scraper credits also must be kept separate from its proxy GB. Track usable outputs and retries before estimating a monthly plan, not just total calls.
If your client already handles scraping, Evomi's raw residential proxy can be the relevant alternative; count transferred GB and its 512-byte minimum billed consumption for many small requests. ScraperAPI's proxy mode or hosted bearer-authenticated MCP still draws from the managed API's credits. Evomi's MCP offers proxy configuration and credential masking in addition to scraping, while ScraperAPI's local Python/Docker option requires your own server. Compare the agent's actual tool path and guard retries or premium escalation.
ProxyLane offers premium residential IPs with ultra-low fraud scores, from ethically sourced, real devices.

Evomi starts at $0.49 per GB (core: $49.99 a month for 100 GB), ScraperAPI at $49 per month (100,000 API credits). Billing units differ, so compare the cost of a usable record on the same workload, not the headline rate.
