#1 Spider.cloud Alternative
Spider.cloud bills per GB of bandwidth and per minute of compute, with credits you buy up front. Context.dev is a flat monthly price that covers scraping, brand data, AI extraction, and company enrichment. You choose a tier and build; there is no bandwidth meter humming in the background.
Spider → Context.dev
Why Switch
Metered bandwidth and paid unblockers stack fast. Flat pricing plus built-in enrichment changes what you budget each month.
Plans with shared API credits
Plans include a monthly credit allowance shared across APIs. Base scraping costs 1 credit across selected formats; other APIs and optional features have their own credit costs. Enable overage when you need usage beyond the allowance.
Brand data no scraper gives you
Retrieve Brand resolves company profiles by domain, name, email, ticker, transaction descriptor, or direct URL. Read available logos, colors, descriptions, social profiles, addresses, and EIC industry labels. Get Styleguide provides typography and font assets in a separate call.
AI extraction built into the API
Use Scrape with CSS parsing rules for fields on a known page, or give Answers a research task and an example JSON shape. Answers returns json_content and source URLs in Fast or Ultra mode.
Stealth on every request, every plan
Spider's unblocker adds roughly $0.001 to $0.004 per request on top of bandwidth. Context.dev includes bot bypass and proxy escalation on every plan with no per-request stealth fee.
Image extraction Spider skips
Spider is tuned for text. Context.dev's scrape also returns deduplicated image URLs for the page, so you are not reconstructing asset lists in a second job.
One API for the whole enrichment stack
Retrieve Brand resolves company profiles by domain, name, email, ticker, transaction descriptor, or direct URL. Read available logos, colors, descriptions, social profiles, addresses, and EIC industry labels. Get Styleguide provides typography and font assets in a separate call.
