I INTEND TO USE IT TO GENERATE LEADS FOR MY COMPANY AND MAYBE I WILL EVEN UPGRADE IT. > > **Cons**: I THINK ITS COMPLETELY AWESOME AND THAT NOTHING IS MISSING FROM THE PLATFORM. > > I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE YET WITH CRAWL BASE BUT INTEND TO GET TO KNOW IT WELL. ----- ### "Amazing scraper API" — 5.0/5 > **Harrison** | *5 January 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Crawlbase is affordable, reliable and fast. Of all the scrapers I've used Crawlbase keeps coming out on top. > > **Cons**: The docs are a little tricky to navigate. ----- ### "I like the product" — 3.0/5 > **Majd** | *22 August 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Don't know what to say here. Nut, I like the product in general. I could contact engineers and I appreciate prioritizing requests and even considering needed features. > > **Cons**: The huddle that the end user needs to tackle:- Custom solutions for different domains. (e.g. specific country for specific domains: GB for AliExpress, etc.)- There is no good auto config (suggested config) and users needs to find it out by them selves (Certain websites require JS, others don't, ajax\_wait, country)- No validation on the results (Many times I am getting blocked links, restriction pages, empty pages, and still the Crawler return 200ok. While, with another retry, I might succeed in getting the desired output\!)At the end I had to do many retries for the same URL to ensure getting the best output as the results are non-deterministicExtra point:The customer support doesn't consider customers experience dealing with the product. Every, time I have to go into the very basic stuff, (try JS, change the token, etc...) I guess, CrawlBase should consider how long the customer has been dealing with the product and bypass the basic checks, etc. > > In general, I like the product, I just wish that you can handle the configuration and retries at your end and avoid writing and maintaining a lot of logic to accept/reject/retry the call. (I am not mentioning 520 errors, I am talking here about 200 ok)Even for 520, it would be great, if those can be retries directly from crawlbase, and get a directly final answer, and no need to retry and see if it will work next or not. ----- ### "Recommended crawling and scraping providerr if you are starting new" — 4.0/5 > **Joe** | *4 September 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The wide range of APIs, easy-to-use dashboard and their use of AI models for crawling instead of Javascript on certain websites. > > **Cons**: The often misleading invite for free trial only to find out you still need to add billing details. > > As an amateur developer working as a freelancer for marketing agencies, I have tested several scraping and crawling solutions. Crawlbase ticks all the boxes if you are new to the scene and require a slightly less advanced and easier solution than websites like Apify. ----- ### "good tools to start with" — 4.0/5 > **quan** | *19 April 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy for beginning users for standard cases. > > **Cons**: the documentation is not clear for non tech people, please add copy curl for other tools like n8n etc. > > customer service quite fast in helping out difficult cases. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/315153/proxycrawl?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/315153/proxycrawl) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
