Strengths

Pros

  • Permanent free cloud tier
  • Open-source self-hosted core
  • Broad API and browser compatibility
Considerations

Cons

  • Usage units and proxy traffic add cost
  • Commercial self-hosting needs licensing
  • Web automation can break or violate target rules
Considerations

Limitations

Browser automation is brittle and may trigger access, privacy, contract, copyright, or anti-bot restrictions. Developers must respect target terms and law, secure tokens, limit personal-data collection, test retries and concurrency, and validate all extracted output.
