The honest pitch
For teams that value crawl speed, clean markdown, and per-page pricing with no multipliers to decode.
Skip it when declarative actions matter — clicks no-op in live runs — or when usage-based billing must be forecastable.
About Spider
Spider is a Rust-built crawling engine organized around concurrency: pages stream out the moment they are fetched, JavaScript renders only where a page genuinely requires it, and the same code scales from one script up to a distributed fleet with nothing rewritten. The core engine is open source with a permissive license, and it also powers Spider Cloud, which adds anti-bot handling, managed proxies and headless browsers. Per-page pricing you can read at a glance, plus markdown that arrives clean, makes it a notably developer-friendly option for AI data collection and high-throughput crawling.
