Pros and cons
LumiProxy
- 90M+ residential IP pool with city-level and all-50-US-states geo-targeting gives genuine coverage depth that smaller providers cannot match.
- Dual billing models, per-GB for rotating residential and flat daily rate for unlimited residential, let teams choose the structure that fits their actual usage pattern rather than overpaying on one model.
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification is a concrete, verifiable trust signal that matters when routing business-critical traffic through a third-party network.
- The Long Acting ISP proxy plan caps stable session time at 12 hours, which rules it out for workflows that need persistent identity across full business days or multi-day sessions without re-authentication.
- The scraping API suite (Web Scraper, SERP, Video) is newer and thinner in documented capability than what established competitors like Bright Data or Oxylabs offer, with less public documentation on success rates and parsing accuracy.
- No permanently free tier exists; the $10 Trial plan for residential proxies gives only 2GB, which is too small to meaningfully benchmark performance for high-volume use cases before committing to a larger plan.
ScrapeAtlas
- 281 endpoints across 45 platforms under one API key, covering social, commerce, video, forums, and ad libraries in a single integration
- Hosted MCP server lets AI agents pull live social data directly without custom wrapper code, a feature absent from most scraping APIs
- Pay-as-you-go with non-expiring credits and no subscription lock-in; 100 free credits require no credit card
- At $19 per 10,000 credits, costs scale quickly for high-volume use cases: a workflow pulling thousands of posts daily across several platforms can exhaust a credit bundle within days
- No proxy rotation, JavaScript rendering, or bot-bypass infrastructure for arbitrary URLs; the API only works on its predefined social platform endpoints, so it cannot replace a general-purpose scraping tool
- The company (OD. Media & Technology LLC) is early-stage with limited public track record, and the 100-credit free tier is too small to meaningfully stress-test the API before purchasing
Our verdict
LumiProxy verdict
LumiProxy is the right pick for developers and data engineers who need a large, affordable rotating residential proxy pool and don't want to pay enterprise rates. Its per-GB billing and unlimited daily plans give genuine flexibility that fixed-seat tools can't match, but the scraping API suite is thinner than dedicated competitors like Bright Data or Oxylabs. Teams that need a true AI coding assistant should look elsewhere entirely, this is infrastructure, not an IDE tool.

ScrapeAtlas is the right pick for developers and AI agent builders who need structured social data from many platforms at once and do not want to maintain per-platform scrapers. Its pay-as-you-go model with non-expiring credits is genuinely friendlier than subscription-locked competitors, but at $19 per 10,000 credits it can get expensive fast for high-volume workloads, and it lacks the proxy infrastructure and JavaScript rendering depth that general-purpose scraping APIs offer. Teams that need to scrape arbitrary web pages rather than social-specific endpoints should look elsewhere.
