80legs

80legs offers a web-crawling service that delivers a better crawling performance at low costs. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: Search Engine. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

80legs is based in Houston, Texas. Their site is 80legs.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with 80legs, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
