A good project, how does it compare to python based scrapy.org.

For admin you can use scrapyhub open source or also another project https://github.com/Gerapy/Gerapy

Scrapy is a web crawler. This project is a web crawler management UI/platform, so it presumably manages your scrapy crawlers/instances and schedules them.
So if I understand it correct Crawlab is another simple easy to use admin for managing web crawlers, one still needs to use scrapy or write their own crawlers. It should be similar to the admin tool I mentioned in my earlier comment and at:

There are a couple of crawler management projects: scrapydweb, spiderkeeper, gerapy, crawlab. The first three are based on scrapyd.
