ScrapingBee really struggles on so many domains - ScraperAPI is almost as good as Brightdata when it comes to hard to beat sites.

We've been happily using BuildJet [0] for over a year now.

Saved over $25k in CI costs compared to GH Actions - they're also using super powerful bare metal servers with Hetzner - we got about a 94% reduction in build time!

Absolutely chuffed, good to see more companies on the market though.
