Pros and cons
Irmu
- Single credit pool covers scraping, JavaScript rendering, screenshots, AI extraction, Google SERP, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT answers, and Booking.com data, with no separate keys or quotas per API.
- Geotargeting by country, region, and city is free on every request and every plan, including the free tier, which is uncommon among comparable scraping APIs.
- MCP server with OAuth 2.1 or API key auth lets developers connect Irmu directly to Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT without writing REST integration code.
- Both the Proxy API (standalone IP pool endpoint) and the Browser API (multi-step scripted sessions) are listed as planned features but are not part of the live product, making the product page misleading for developers who need those capabilities now.
- Premium residential IPs and AI extraction are locked behind the $90/month Standard plan; the $19 Starter and $40 Lite tiers only offer datacenter IPs, which limits their usefulness against sites with meaningful anti-bot protection.
- Scheduling and webhooks, essential for any recurring crawl job, only appear at the $200/month Pro tier, forcing teams with modest volume but recurring needs to pay for 3,000,000 credits per month whether they use them or not.
Pangolinfo Amazon Data MCP
- 19 tools under one API key span Amazon product data, WIPO trademark search, PACER patent litigation, AI SERP, and Google Trends, a combination not commonly bundled in a single MCP server.
- Every paid plan includes JavaScript rendering, residential proxies, CAPTCHA handling, and unlimited concurrency with no feature gates between tiers.
- The open-source stdio bridge auto-discovers remote tool schemas at startup, so server-side updates propagate to connected clients without a package reinstall.
- Two AI-generation tools (including the Alexa search tool) routinely exceed the 60-second silent timeout enforced by most MCP clients, causing agents to report them as unavailable rather than slow. This is a documented, tool-specific reliability gap.
- Review data costs 5 credits per page versus 1 credit per page for product data, so a workflow that pulls reviews at scale burns through the $19 Starter plan's 9,600 credits very quickly.
- The tool is read-only and API-only; there is no dashboard, no scheduled monitoring UI, and no export to CSV or spreadsheet, which limits it to users who can write or configure code.
Our verdict
Irmu verdict
Irmu suits developers who want a single API key covering scraping, JavaScript rendering, screenshots, and AI extraction without stitching together separate services. The credit model is transparent and geotargeting is free at every tier, but residential IPs and AI extraction only enable at the $90/month Standard plan, putting real production features out of reach for the $19 and $40 tiers. Teams that need multi-step browser automation or a dedicated proxy endpoint should look elsewhere: both are listed on the roadmap but not yet shipped.

Developers building AI-driven Amazon research workflows get a genuinely useful shortcut here: 19 structured data tools callable from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client without managing proxies or parsers. The credit model is transparent but can get expensive at scale, and two AI-generation tools routinely hit MCP client timeouts, which is a real reliability gap. Teams that need write operations, bulk flat-file exports, or a no-code dashboard should look elsewhere.
