Self promotion: my SaaS is the lowest cost web scraping tool for high volume, and has been in business since 2016.

https://PhantomJsCloud.com

My SaaS requires some technical knowledge to use (call a web api) which I suppose is why it's not ever in these lists.

Some of my customers are *very* large businesses. If you are looking at evading bot countermeasures, my product isn't probably the best for you. but for TCO nothing beats it.



Isn't phantomjs deprecated and unmaintained?


yes, bad naming on my part. While it does support PhantomJs still, the default is a Puppeteer backend.


Yep, according to PhantomJS' README, their "development is suspended until further notice".

It looks like phantomjscloud.com also supports Puppeteer.


For some time now - since 2016 I think (though someone briefly tried to revive it) - headless Chrome does it faster and better now.
