Dexi.io Alternative
The Developer-First Alternative to Dexi.io
Skip the visual pipeline builder. AlterLab's API gives you direct programmatic control — one request, structured JSON, no pipeline configuration required.
- Single API endpoint — no visual pipeline setup required
- Pay-as-you-go — no monthly subscription or pipeline limits
- 5 automatic anti-bot tiers — no manual configuration needed
Why Teams Switch from Dexi.io
API-first vs pipeline-first
AlterLab accepts a URL and returns structured data in one API call. No need to design, test, and maintain visual extraction pipelines that break when sites update their layouts.
Transparent per-request pricing
Pay only for the requests you make. AlterLab has no monthly subscription fees, no pipeline execution limits, and no hidden charges for data transformation.
Automatic anti-bot handling
AlterLab's 5-tier system automatically selects the right bypass strategy per site — from standard HTTP to full browser rendering — without manual configuration.
