  • High-volume or complex scraping
  • Teams needing managed proxies at scale
Pros
  • Genuinely no-code; usable by non-developers

Cons
  • Credit-based pricing scales up quickly at volume
  • Robots can break when target sites change layout
  • Not suited to very large-scale data engineering
  • Limited control compared to code-based scrapers
  • Blocking and anti-bot measures can interrupt jobs
