It looks great, very good job.
One question you should be prepared to answer is how you compare to alternatives:
- Services like Kimonolabs and Import.io
- Building a scraper with Scrapy
- Using Scrapehub
From what I understand the price point of the above is lower (some are free) while still offering the same features. What can you offer that they don't?
- notastartup 12y ago- Simple and Minimal UI - Crawl & Extract Static, Dynamic, Single Page Applications. - Fixed pricing for unlimited scraping I used Kimonolabs but found it falling short of Import.io. Import.io is great but it felt very bloated and complicated to use. If you already know how to use Scrapy or a free solution and it works for you then honestly you won't need it. There's also a free plan where you can run any number of jobs but each job has a limit of 30 minutes and a wait line. Further adding to the price point, you can create as many scraping jobs and run it as often as you want but in the free plan there's a wait line at peak load.
