Hey mate!
How does Webpecker standout compared to other competitors in the market?
Btw, are you ware that the link you shared, invites to be "maker"? At least it did for me :).

Hi there, thanks for the Q <3

Other products either require some coding to scrape or some teaching process for the AI to learn what to scrape, both of which crash at some point or the scraped data is quite messed up.

At Webpecker we want people to go to the desired website and just click scrape/stop to get a neat output in xlsx, json, an media in zip. In case user's target website is not available in our db, we make it avail within 24 hours so that they can scrape their data points with a click, and we keep maintaining that target website indefinitely.

Our mission is to add analysis to the scraping in the future so that the users can not only scrape but gain insights from what they scrape.

I'd love to hear what you think and whether we're doing something wrong.

(yeah shared the wrong link sorry, website is webpecker.net if you still want to check us out)
