Vendor comparison

ScrapeIt vs PromptCloud

ScrapeIt and PromptCloud are both fully managed providers: the vendor builds the crawler, runs it, fixes it when the target site changes, and delivers a structured feed. PromptCloud is the older and larger of the two, based in India, with an enterprise data-as-a-service practice and sales-led pricing. ScrapeIt is an EU company with a published price list and a deliberately narrow offer.

Choose ScrapeIt if

You want a number today, not after a proposal
Volume sits between 100k and 3M rows a month
Processing has to stay inside the EU

What each company actually is

PromptCloud

Running managed crawling since around 2010, headquartered in Bangalore, India. The positioning is enterprise data-as-a-service: large recurring feeds for e-commerce, jobs, travel and market intelligence, plus AI training datasets. Pricing is arranged per engagement through their sales team rather than published as a list.

ScrapeIt

Scrapeit Sp. z o.o., registered in Bialystok, Poland and trading since 2021. A single managed product with a published price list running from EUR 199 for a one-time extract up to EUR 549 per month for three deliveries a day. Every plan states its row ceiling and delivery frequency on the pricing page.

When PromptCloud is the better choice

The programme is genuinely enterprise scale. Tens of millions of records a month across many verticals is what their delivery model is built around.
You need a vendor with a fifteen-year track record. Some procurement processes weight trading history heavily, and that is a fair criterion.
You want one supplier for many unrelated feeds. Consolidating jobs, retail and travel data with a single large vendor reduces vendor management overhead.
Cost per record matters more than predictability. At very high volume a negotiated enterprise rate will beat a published tier.

When ScrapeIt is the better choice

You want a number today. The reason ScrapeIt publishes its prices is that a scoping call followed by a proposal costs one to three weeks before anyone knows whether the budget even works.
The project is mid-sized. Between 100,000 and three million rows a month is exactly the band the published plans cover, and it is often below the threshold where enterprise vendors engage comfortably.
You need an EU processor. A Polish entity keeps the data inside the EU and removes the international transfer assessment from your DPA work.
You want to test cheaply first. EUR 199 for a real one-time extract is lower-risk than a pilot negotiated inside an enterprise contract.

The honest summary

PromptCloud is the larger and more established operation, and for very large multi-vertical programmes that experience is worth paying for. ScrapeIt is built for the far more common case: a company that needs a specific set of sites collected reliably, wants to know the cost before a sales call, and would rather the data sat inside the EU.

The clearest test is your own volume. Above a few million rows a month across several verticals, talk to an enterprise vendor. Below that, published pricing will almost certainly get you data faster and for less.

Frequently asked questions

Is ScrapeIt a PromptCloud alternative?

Yes, for small and mid-sized projects. Both are fully managed providers. PromptCloud is larger, has been trading since around 2010 and is oriented to enterprise-scale recurring feeds. ScrapeIt is an EU company with published pricing aimed at defined target lists between roughly 100,000 and three million rows a month.

Why does PromptCloud not publish prices?

Enterprise data-as-a-service is normally priced per engagement because volume, frequency and target difficulty vary enormously. That is a reasonable model at enterprise scale, but it means a scoping call and a proposal before anyone knows whether the budget works. ScrapeIt publishes its plans specifically to remove that step.

What data volume does ScrapeIt handle?

Published plans run from 100,000 rows as a one-time extract up to 3,000,000 rows a month with delivery three times daily. Above that, an enterprise vendor with a larger delivery bench is usually the better structure.

Which is better for AI training datasets?

Both collect data suitable for training corpora, and ScrapeIt has a dedicated offering for it. The deciding factors are usually volume and jurisdiction. For very large multi-vertical corpora, an enterprise provider fits better. For a defined set of sources with an EU processor and a DPA, ScrapeIt is the simpler contract.
