Our take: Choose Lection if you want to describe the web data you need in plain language and have it scraped, scheduled and sent to Sheets, webhooks or workflow tools, starting on the free plan.

Main limitation: Usage is credit-based (free plan has 5 cloud credits per month, 1 pipeline and 10 pages per run) and fuller integrations need Pro or higher.
