Proxy rotation as a service
FastAF vs ScraperAPI
ScraperAPI is a proxy-rotation layer: you send a URL, it handles IPs and retries and returns raw HTML. It is a good fit for teams that already wrote their own parsers and fetch plain pages at high volume, and a poorer fit for teams that want structured records or mostly run Google searches.

The honest verdict
Pick ScraperAPI if all you want is raw HTML at high page volume and you own the parsing: per plain page it costs less. Pick FastAF if you would rather receive parsed JSON for search, Amazon, LinkedIn and the rest, pay less per Google search, and skip maintaining selectors that break every quarter.
