Escape visual-builder lock-in. Run ready scrapers or integrate via API with estimates and resumable jobs.
Import.io designs extractions in a UI. Scrapy IO ships maintained scrapers and treats the API as a primary interface.

| Lightning-fast execution | Yes Edge functions run close to the request — near-zero cold-start latency | No Cloud agents or browser sessions need to spin up before extraction begins |
| Developer control | ||
| Code-level API access | Yes Full REST API on every paid plan | Partial API exists but visual builder is the focus |
| Pricing & billing | ||
| Pay per result | Yes You only pay for rows that return data | No Platform/seat pricing around the visual builder |
| Upfront cost estimate before each run | Yes See cost and runtime before you commit | No Extractor complexity does not map to clear per-row cost |
| No charge for failed or empty runs | Yes Blocked pages and empty results cost nothing | No Failed flows still consume platform capacity |
