Best HasData Alternatives in 2026 (Free & Paid Compared)

HasData is a broad bundle: 40 documented API endpoints spanning Google SERP, Maps, News, Flights, and Immersive Product results plus named scrapers for platforms like Zillow and Shopify, 30 no-code visual scrapers for point-and-click extraction, an AI-Agent fallback that turns any unnamed URL into JSON or Markdown, and both ready-made and custom datasets — all billed from one credit-weighted subscription. That breadth is real, but it means comparing HasData against a single-purpose competitor requires picking which slice you actually need. This guide covers the best alternatives in 2026 across each of those slices.

Is HasData actually the wrong tool?

Stay with HasData if you want one subscription covering API endpoints, no-code scrapers, and datasets together, and you're comfortable with credit weights that vary by request type. Look at alternatives when your need is narrower:

• You want a documented developer API only, with a flat, predictable credit weight per platform instead of weights that vary 1x-10x by request type.
• You want a SERP-first API with the deepest support for Google result types specifically, not SERP as one of 40 bundled endpoints.
• You want a no-code visual scraper only, without paying for API and dataset features you won't use.
• You need structured records from a specific named platform — search, maps, products, social, finance — and want to compare providers on that platform alone.
• Your workload is large enough that a flat per-endpoint rate beats a variable-weight credit system.

What to look for in a HasData alternative

• Credit model: does the price vary by request type (1x-10x), or is it a flat, documented weight per endpoint?
• Scope: do you need the full bundle (API + no-code + datasets), or just one slice of it?
• SERP depth: how many Google result types and other search engines does the SERP API actually support?
• No-code coverage: how many prebuilt visual scrapers, and how do they handle sites outside that list?
• Fallback behavior: what happens when your target isn't one of the named platforms or scrapers?
• Dataset access: do you need ready-made or custom datasets, or only live API calls?

The best HasData alternatives in 2026

There's no single winner — the right pick depends on which slice of HasData's bundle you actually use. Here's the landscape, then a closer look at each.

1. Crawlora — documented endpoints, one flat credit weight

If your real use of HasData is its API endpoints, a structured platform API returns the same documented JSON fields every call, with one flat, predictable credit weight per endpoint instead of a rate that shifts between 1x and 10x by request type:

curl -s -X POST "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/google/search" \
  -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword": "web scraping api", "language": "en", "country": "us", "limit": 10}'

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "OK",
  "data": {
    "result": [
      { "position": 1, "title": "Example result", "website_name": "Example", "link": "https://example.com/", "Snippet": "Snippet text shown under the result." }
    ]
  }
}

When to choose it: you want documented endpoints across known platforms without a no-code scraper layer or bundled datasets, and you'd rather budget one flat credit weight than model which of HasData's three credit tiers each request falls into. See Crawlora vs HasData for the full breakdown. It doesn't include no-code visual scraping or a ready-made dataset marketplace — for those, HasData remains the broader bundle.

2. SerpApi, SearchApi.io — SERP-first peers

If SERP data specifically is what brought you to HasData, SerpApi has the deepest independent coverage of Google result types (see SerpApi alternatives), and SearchApi.io bundles a similar shape of vertical engines on top of search (see SearchApi.io alternatives).

When to choose it: SERP is your primary workload and you want to compare result-type depth and pricing against other search-first providers, rather than paying for HasData's no-code and dataset layers too.

3. Octoparse, ParseHub — no-code visual scrapers

If the no-code, point-and-click slice is what you actually use, Octoparse and ParseHub are dedicated visual scrapers without an API or dataset bundle attached, often at a lower entry price for that use case alone.

When to choose it: non-developers on your team want to build extraction tasks visually, and you don't need HasData's API endpoints or datasets alongside it.

HasData's pricing, in plain terms

HasData's credit weights vary by what you're calling:

• Basic scraping requests: 1 credit each — the cheapest tier.
• Specialized endpoints (named-platform scrapers): 5 credits each.
• SERP requests: 10 credits each — the most expensive tier per call.
• One subscription covers API access, the no-code scraper library, and dataset access together, so the effective per-request cost depends heavily on your mix of the three tiers.

None of this makes HasData a bad choice — the bundle is genuinely useful if you actually use all three pieces. It just means the advertised subscription price describes a blend, not a single per-request rate. Crawlora's alternative is one flat, documented credit weight per endpoint from a single shared pool, billed only on success.

HasData vs Crawlora: feature by feature

For the most common either/or — "one bundled subscription across API, no-code, and datasets, or a documented API alone?" — here's the head-to-head:

How to choose

1. Do you need the full bundle — API, no-code scrapers, and datasets — or just one slice of it?
2. Is your primary workload SERP data, named-platform records, or arbitrary sites via no-code?
3. Would a flat, predictable credit weight per endpoint suit your budgeting better than a variable 1x-10x rate?
4. Do you need a fallback for targets outside a named platform list, or is your target set fixed and known?
5. Do you need dataset access alongside live API calls, or only live requests?

If the answer points to a documented API alone with predictable pricing, Crawlora is the cleaner fit; if it points to SERP specifically, SerpApi or SearchApi.io are the closer peers; if it points to no-code visual scraping, Octoparse or ParseHub fit better; if it points to the full bundle, HasData remains the broader option.
