The wedge: retailer tuning.
General scrapers extract pages. Cartpie extracts products — because every plugin is built for a specific retailer's DOM, variant logic, and pricing quirks. The result: higher field coverage, fewer surprises.
The wedge: pay-on-success.
Other APIs charge you whether they extracted anything useful or not. We only bill when a real product object is returned. Failed extractions don't count against your quota.
