Frequently asked questions
They overlap but solve different layers. ScraperAPI handles proxy rotation + headless rendering as a request proxy. CaptchaSonic is a captcha-specific solver you bring your own scraping stack to. Many customers run them together — ScraperAPI for fetching, CaptchaSonic for captcha tokens.
ScraperAPI auto-retries on captcha but does not return the token. CaptchaSonic returns the verified token (gRecaptchaResponse, cf-turnstile-response, etc.) so you can submit forms, hit token-gated endpoints, and maintain session continuity.
ScraperAPI charges per request including failed captcha retries. CaptchaSonic charges only for successful solves at $0.50–$2 per 1k depending on captcha type. For captcha-heavy targets the combined cost is typically lower with CaptchaSonic in the path.
