What you give up either way

Coverage and maintenance for 21 platforms and 165 endpoints
Engineered reliability (99.8% uptime, hosted throttle handling, and incident tracing)
Monitors with signed webhooks and monitor scaling
A maintained scraper fleet (DOM-shift fixes, proxy handling, and paid-route accounting)
