Honestly, smart proxies are overhyped for small-scale scraping. If you’re just scraping a few hundred pages, regular proxies will do the job fine. But for larger projects, yeah, they’re worth it.
I’ve used ScraperAPI, and it’s pretty solid. It’s not just about IP rotation—they also handle headers and retries automatically. Saves a ton of time. But if you’re on a tight budget, maybe stick with regular proxies for now.
