I'm always interested in these anonymous reviews that make "x seem so easy", I end up assuming there's a bias.
The guide was written by "Maxim" and posted as "artif4ct". The tool "Scraper.AI" is owned by the company "Roadwork", which a google of "Roadwork scraperai" leads to the likely developer Xavier Geerinck[1].
A google of "Xavier Geerinck "Maxim"" leads then to the brother Maxim Geerinck who has a real medium page [2]. The poster "artif4ct" previously talked a lot about betanotify.com, which was written by Maxim so it's fair to assume Maxim runs "artif4ct".
I have nothing against self-promotion of a neat tool, but using a sock-puppet medium account to promote the ease of a tool your brother wrote without any mention of the bias or cost is, in my opinion, unethical.
On another note, there's a small spelling mistake here: "Therefor we bill based on usage where each scrape represents 1 unit." which should be "Therefore we bill based on usage where each scrape represents 1 unit.".
