Agenty Review

Agenty sells configurable "agents" — scraping jobs that use AI to extract structured data from web pages, with anti-detection measures and scheduling built in so the jobs keep running unattended. This review checks its published pricing against the real cost per page, notes what's gated behind higher tiers, and is upfront about what independent evidence does and doesn't exist for it.

Verdict at a glance

What kind of tool is Agenty?

Agenty positions itself as an AI-scraping layer rather than a plain point-and-click scraper: you define an "agent" against a target site, and the platform's extraction layer is meant to adapt when the page's markup changes instead of breaking the job outright. On top of extraction, it bundles the operational pieces a recurring scrape needs — scheduling, change-detection alerts when a monitored page updates, and an analytics dashboard for job health. The vendor advertises 50M+ pages processed, a 99.9% uptime SLA, and 10,000+ developers using the platform; these are Agenty's own figures, not independently audited.

How it works

Setup is agent-by-agent: point the tool at target URLs, define what to extract (AI-assisted selection is the pitch, versus writing manual CSS/XPath selectors), and set a schedule. Every plan includes API access, webhooks, and export to JSON, CSV, or a database, so output slots into an existing pipeline rather than requiring you to build one. Proxy handling scales with plan tier — Basic gets data center IPs only, Professional adds static proxies, Business adds US/EU residential proxies, and Enterprise gets global residential coverage — which matters because harder, more bot-defensive sites generally need the better proxy tiers to keep working reliably.

Agenty pricing (2026)

A few things the pricing page doesn't spell out:

• No published overage rate. The FAQ says credits work "like stamps" (one credit per request), but nothing on the site states what happens once you exhaust your monthly allotment — whether jobs pause, throttle, or you're simply pushed to upgrade. Confirm this with sales before sizing a plan against real volume.
• Proxy quality is a tier gate, not an add-on you can buy separately. If your target sites need residential IPs to avoid blocks, that forces you onto Business ($249/month) even if your page volume would otherwise fit Basic or Professional.
• Yearly billing bundles in one free month on every plan — a modest, if unspecified-percentage, discount versus paying monthly.
• The 14-day free trial carries only 100 page credits, enough to sanity-check the interface but not to validate extraction quality against your actual target sites.

What we could — and couldn't — verify

We checked G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, SourceForge, and Reddit for independent sentiment on Agenty. G2's and Trustpilot's review pages blocked automated access outright. Capterra returned no live product listing we could confirm. SourceForge lists Agenty with zero submitted reviews. We found no Reddit threads with substantive discussion of it either. In short: there is no meaningful independent review volume to report on, positive or negative, at the time of writing — a material difference from tools in this category (like Octoparse or Diffbot) that carry hundreds of G2/Capterra reviews.

The testimonials on Agenty's own homepage — attributed to contacts at DataFlow Inc., Clickbank, Hotels.com, BP, and others — are vendor-supplied marketing copy, not independently sourced reviews, and should be weighed accordingly.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Per-page cost drops sharply at higher tiers (~$5.80/1,000 pages on Basic vs. ~$1.00/1,000 on Business)
• API, webhooks, and structured export included on every plan, not gated to top tiers
• Change-detection alerts are a genuine convenience for monitoring use cases
• Proxy tiers scale up to global residential for harder targets

Cons

• Overage policy beyond the monthly page cap isn't published anywhere we could find
• Better proxy types are locked behind Business/Enterprise pricing rather than sold as an add-on
• No independent review base (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot) to check vendor claims against
• Trial page credits (100) are thin for evaluating extraction against real, harder-to-scrape sites

Agenty alternatives

• Octoparse — no-code, point-and-click scraping with a heavier desktop-app workflow; stronger name recognition and a larger public review base than Agenty.
• ParseHub — similar point-and-click positioning, popular with non-developers who want a visual selector rather than API-first setup.
• Diffbot — leans harder on AI extraction APIs (article, product, knowledge-graph parsing) and carries a larger enterprise customer base.
• Apify — developer-first scraping platform with a marketplace of pre-built "actors"; better fit for teams that want to run or customize open-source scrapers.
• Browse.ai — no-code robots for scraping and monitoring, aimed more at ops/marketing users than developers.

Who should use Agenty — and who shouldn't

Good fit: developers who want API-first scraping with scheduling and change alerts already built in, and who are comfortable configuring agents rather than needing a fully visual point-and-click builder; teams whose volume fits neatly into the Professional or Business page allotments, where per-page cost is genuinely competitive.

Poor fit: teams that need residential proxies immediately but want to stay on entry-level pricing (that combination isn't available); buyers who weight vendor selection heavily on independent review evidence, since there isn't a meaningful public track record to check; anyone scraping unpredictable volumes who needs clarity on overage costs before committing a budget, since that policy isn't published.
