Pros & Cons
Funnel
Pros

- Flexible output destinations including BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Looker Studio, Power BI, and Tableau
- 99.99% average uptime with enterprise-grade reliability
Cons
- Pricing is not publicly listed, requiring a sales conversation for any plan
- Starter tier lacks warehouse destinations (BigQuery, Snowflake, S3), limiting data engineers
- Focused exclusively on marketing data — not a general-purpose ETL or data integration tool
- Advanced features like MMM, MTA, and naming conventions require Business tier or above
Apify

Cons
- Pay-as-you-go compute pricing can be unpredictable — actual costs depend heavily on scraping volume and Actor complexity
- Learning curve for building custom Actors requires JavaScript or Python programming knowledge
- Community Actors vary in quality and maintenance, requiring evaluation before production use
