Why am I paying for a scraper that runs locally?

Hey Sorin, welcome to the community! It’s great to have you here.

From your post, it sounds like you have some technical background, which is awesome.

However, for the majority of our users, creating a scraper on Python is not an easy task. With Bardeen, you can build a scraper quickly and easily, and have it running in the background of your computer. It shouldn’t interrupt your work.

I’m curious about your comment regarding your computer becoming unusable when running the scraper in the background. Could you provide more details on this? Could it be related with this Mac issue?

Also, I want to mention that all Bardeen plans come with a free trial, so you can try out the scraper before making any commitments.

And don’t worry, we’re currently working on supporting background scraping in the cloud, but it will take some time before it’s ready to demo. Thanks for your understanding!
