Which Proxy Service is Better for Web Scraping: lunaproxy vs pyproxy.com?

I’ve used both lunaproxy and pyproxy.com for scraping, and honestly, it depends on your needs. Lunaproxy is def better for avoiding bans, especially if you’re scraping sites with heavy anti-bot measures. Their rotating IPs are smooth, and I’ve had fewer issues with captchas.

Pyproxy.com is cheaper, but I’ve noticed their IPs get flagged more often. If you’re doing large-scale scraping, the unlimited bandwidth is tempting, but you might end up spending more time dealing with bans.

For setup, lunaproxy is def easier. Pyproxy.com has more locations, but I rarely needed that many. If you’re just starting out, I’d go with lunaproxy.

Also, check out Scrapy if you’re not already using it. It’s a solid framework for scraping and works well with both proxies.
