Hi there!

We dont have any benchmarks for Crawlee just yet, but we are working on those as we speak. We care deeply about bot detection, one of the features of Crawlee is generated fingerprints based on real browser data we gather - you can read more about it in the https://github.com/apify/fingerprint-suite repository, which is used under the hood in Crawlee. For scraping via HTTP requests (e.g. cheerio/jsdom), we develop library called got-scraping (https://github.com/apify/got-scraping), that tries to mimic real browsers while doing fast HTTP requests.

Crawlee is and always will be open source. It originated from the Apify SDK (http://sdk.apify.com), which is a library to support development of so called Actors on the Apify Platform (http://apify.com) - so you can see it as a way for us to improve the experience of our customers. But you can use it anywhere you want, we provide ready to use Dockerfiles for each template.
