Gaffa vs. Archonum

Gaffa is an API for web scraping and browser automation that gives developers control over real, full browsers with a single request, no headless-browser setup, proxy management, or infrastructure scaling required. Pages render with full JavaScript support by default, matching exactly what a real user would see. The platform covers the full range of automation needs: scraping, AI-powered data extraction into structured JSON using custom schemas, full-page screenshots, PDF export, infinite-scroll scraping, automated form filling, and converting webpages into clean Markdown for AI and LLM workflows. Reliability is built in through a rotating residential proxy network and automatic CAPTCHA and anti-bot handling, so requests succeed even against protected sites. Pricing follows a transparent, credit-based model tied to browser execution time and bandwidth, making costs predictable as usage scales. Gaffa is aimed at AI engineers, data-driven teams, and developers who need dependable, large-scale web data without the overhead of running their own scraping infrastructure.

Archonum is a browser automation platform built for teams that need scripts, AI agents, and data pipelines to run through genuine mobile browsers on real consumer networks. The platform uses a network of 250,000+ Android smartphone nodes across 175+ countries, with Chrome running on the same phone that provides the exit IP. This means each request carries aligned signals from the device itself, including TLS, GPU, canvas, accelerometer, gyroscope, battery, CPU architecture, touch events, language, timezone, and connection context. Archonum is designed as an alternative to cloud browser automation systems that run Chrome in a data center and route traffic through a residential proxy. By keeping the browser, IP, and fingerprint on one device, Archonum reduces the gaps that bot detection systems can identify. Developers can use plain Playwright, Puppeteer, Python, REST, curl, and HTTP API workflows without rewriting their existing scripts. Country locking, rotating sessions, and sticky sessions can be controlled through the gateway configuration. Fleet execution allows one automation script to be replayed across multiple real phone sessions in parallel, each with its own device identity and country. Archonum also includes an MCP server that gives agents hosted tools for rendered page reads, stateful browsing sessions, login persistence, cart or booking flows, and side-by-side country comparisons. The platform is designed for AI agents, scraping pipelines, competitive price intelligence, social data, mobile-first platforms, and workflows where block rates create measurable cost. By combining real Android hardware, consumer IPs, mobile Chrome, browser automation compatibility, MCP tools, geo comparison, sticky sessions, and parallel fleet execution, Archonum helps teams reach web targets with more authentic mobile signals.
