Gaffa

Pros: Super reliable and straightforward tool. Refined set of features and clear documentation. Our setup couldn't have been much faster and we've not had any issues with the tool in over a year!

Cons: There's nothing particular to note so far and I believe the product is continuously improved

Overall: If you're looking for a non-bloated and reliable web scraper, capable of accessing web pages that other tools (e.g. AI) are blocked by, Gaffa makes this simple. Compared to other web scraping tools it's a dream to setup and use.

Pros: Our system was using a more expensive competing product, but Gaffa made the transition simple and seamless. We are primarily using it to print PDF reports from our site, but plan to expand its use to other parts of our product and processes.

Cons: What's not to like? Our use case may not be the most complicated, but it just works!

Overall: Gaffa is a really solid service. It’s easy to get started, and everything feels thoughtfully put together. The tools are flexible, which saved us quite a bit of time.

What stood out most was how smooth the overall experience is—from setup through to actually using it day-to-day. It feels reliable, and the interface makes it easy to see what’s going on without digging around. Definitely a good option if you want something that just works without a steep learning curve and clear value for money.

Pros: Very easy to get going! Really expressive API. Saved me a lot of time and allowed me to do just what I needed in terms of interacting with sites and getting data back in the right way. Also the dashboard where you can see your previous requests is really useful when debugging!

Cons: I needed to use the residential proxies for some of the sites I wanted to interact with, and those are quite expensive.

Overall: Really good experience! I'd always found scraping a pain, but this made it much easier. Definitely worth the cost.
