   Mixed feelings

   We used their DC proxies and Residential proxies. Resi proxies were having quite low success rate. We had to use resi solution from other proxy providers. Unblocker didn't work well either also it was way too expensive.

   🏁 Competitors: Smartproxy, NetNut.io

   👍 Pros:    Cheap dc proxies

   👎 Cons:    Quite expensive|Residential proxies are worse than competitiors

• Working as a DS, what tools do you use to scrape data?

  I love using browserless.io for things I can't scrape with a simple fetch. I use it especially single-page applications that need to be rendered before you can fetch data...
