Our verdict
Who it's for
No-code web scraping with cloud and local extraction
Who should look elsewhere
Free cannot schedule in the cloud. Overnight jobs need Standard.
Pros

- +Cloud concurrency is explicit: 3 runs on Standard, 20 on Professional.
Cons
- −Free cannot schedule in the cloud. Overnight jobs need Standard.
